GET TO KNOW US: Gary and I have taken care of many pets various sizes over the past 10 years from as small as Guinea pigs to Newfoundland dogs. I love taking them for walks, teaching them new tricks or giving them a luxurious spa day! I’ve trained multiple puppies and kittens over the years and have cared to senior foster dogs administering oral medicine. OUR HOME: Rover pups staying in our home are welcome to any of the common living areas. Our backyard is another area we spend lots of time in. It's entirely surrounded by trees, Our yard is well maintained for lots of safe outside playtime with 140 acres. SIZES & BREEDS: All breeds big and small are welcome in our home. We have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. We can make sure all your pet's personal needs are met during their stay with us. MEDICATIONS & SPECIAL NEEDS: We are both very experienced when it comes to administering medicine to pets. It is very important to give us detailed instructions on your pet's medication dosages and times. PUPPIES & POTTY TRAINING: We are very comfortable with caring for puppies (only weeks old). We have extensive experience with potty training and basic commands. DAILY UPDATES: We make sure to send daily updates of your pet via pictures and videos on the Rover app. We send at least a couple of updates a day but you can always ask for more! HOME SECURITY: We have a home security system with cameras indoors/outdoors that help us keep an eye on your pets even while we are sleeping or running out for a quick errand. OUR GUARANTEE: Kisses, hugs, and treats are always free here! We treat every pet as if they were our fur baby. Being this is our full-time job our top priority is making sure you and your pets are comfortable, happy, well cared for, and fully satisfied with our service. All we ask for in return is a great review at the end of your stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SERVICES DOG BOARDING: In our home means you will drop your dog(s) off at a previously discussed time at our home address. It is important to be punctual for your drop-off and pick-up times, as we are accommodating others. This helps everyone stay on schedule. If for some reason you cannot be on time let us know as early as possible to reschedule your time slot. They will stay with us the duration you are gone in our home until you come to pick them up at a time convenient for you. Again, punctuality is important! We are flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times but ask that they be at a reasonable hour. (anytime between 6 AM and 9 PM). DOGGY DAYCARE: Service where you drop your dog(s) off for the day in our home anytime between 6 am-7 pm. DROP-IN VISITS: When we stop by your home address to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. These visits are usually about 30-60 minutes long. We can stop in up to four times per day at any time needed between 8 am-9 pm. HOUSE SITTING: Would entail us staying in your home overnight for 10 hours (example: 10 pm-8 am) with your pet(s). This service includes TWO 30-40 minute daytime Stop-In Visits per booked overnight (usually around 12 pm and 5 pm). These stop-in visits would include feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. We will also take care of watering your plants, bringing in your mail, and putting out your trash cans for pickup if you’d like. MEET & GREETS: When we meet with you and your pets, either in our home (boarding & daycare) or in your home (stop-ins, walks, house sitting) for about 15-20 minutes. During meetups, in our home, you can see where your pup(s) will be staying and let them explore a bit so they are familiar with our home before their stay. This is a great time to go over their needs & any questions you may have. We typically have other Rover guests staying in our home during meetup times. We have our current guests play outside during our meet and greet time inside the home. We will trade places with them during our house tour so you and your dog(s) will be able to check out our backyard space as well (pending weather). We do not allow our current Rover stays/pets to meet with new clients during the meet and greets for safety reasons. You may book a daycare day on our upcoming calendar to see how our process works before your longer booking takes place if you'd like. After dropping your pet off for their stay with us, we will introduce them to our other Rover stays as well as our pets one at a time. This keeps the environment calm and controlled so everyone has the best experience meeting one another for the first time. Dogs must be at ease when meeting off-leash. We will get videos & photos to you shortly after you leave to share how much fun they are having with their new fur friends! DROP-OFFS/PICK-UPS: Our drop-off and pick-up times are anytime between 8 am-9 pm. For drop-offs/pick-ups, we ask that you park in our driveway and send a message upon arrival. We will come out and help unload their belongings (food bins, bags, blankets, etc). Once you leave we bring your dog(s) to the backyard area first to sniff and use the potty. Then we bring them inside to meet the other fur friends one at a time. Gary and I have a lot of experience introducing dogs to the 'pack' to make sure it goes smoothly and they can get to know each other right away. BATH ADD-ON: If you would like your pup to come home squeaky clean after their fun doggie vacay at our house, you can add on a bath for them before pickup! Bath time would include an all-over warm water rinse in our stand-up shower followed by a scrub. Then we'll towel/blow dry them off as well as a good brush and get them ready to head home. **Please note, we do not offer full grooming - haircuts, clippings, styling.** we can offer nail clippings as well.
