What started as a way to earn extra travel money for a trip abroad with my teen daughter, has grown into a life changing business for our family. We have now been affiliated with Rover for 6 years and cared for nearly 100 pups. We have met so many kind folks and love each of their unique, quirky, hilarious pets. It has been a fun adventure! Your pups at my house become family, they cuddle on the couch, they take turns having meals and take full advantage of the doggy doors that lead out into our dig-proof backyard when we are home. The backyard is camera monitored as are the other entrances so I feel we have a pretty safe and secure city oasis for our canine quests. I do require meet and greets prior to booking to ensure safety and compatablity and I do only take small, nonaggressive and often time geriatric pups. We actually have a lot of seniors that stay with us which is awesome. Our home is quiet, clean and the backyard is maintained nearly every day to keep your pup safe and healthy. I am active in communicating and compassionate when it comes to sudden unexpected changes. My refund policy is very reasonable and although it doesn't happen often, I want everyone to feel like a friend and making you and your dog(s) feel comfortable about their stay is a priority. As a note, all of my household is completely vaccinated. We also practice regular and safe cleaning practices in and out. Stay healthy! Dogs have always been a part of my life, not just as pets, but as family members. I love their energy, their curiosity, and their unconditional love. As a sitter for your furry friends, I can assure you that I will care for your pets just as I do my own. Your barking babies will have a clean, secure, fenced-in yard full of doggy toys, balls and if that heat goes up, even a splash pool. Inside they have cool tile floors and a bowl full of fresh, clean water. In addition, my Rover partner has plenty of experience caring for tiny furries like Guinea Pigs and Hamsters and we have pup-free areas to keep them safe and secure. I am patient, affectionate, and take the care of your pets as a serious commitment. I am available for boarding in my home, 7 days a week, and drop-in visits Friday to Monday. I am embedded in the Sheboygan community as a teacher for the school district, so I have plenty of local ties. Please let me know what we can do to make your time away stress-free for both you and your pup! I am happy to accomodate overnights stays and negotiate rates on long term stays.
