I request all owners provide an honest overview of their pet’s personality, temperament, energy level, daily routine, likes/dislikes & typical behavior especially with other dogs/cats, animals, children & adults. Every pet has their strengths & challenges. I celebrate each & every pet’s personalities & idiosyncrasies. I understand the differences in breeds which is crucial to their care. I recognize & understand canine social cues & behavior which helps me manage them effectively. I will always review & evaluate each factor to ensure a great experience for your pet. I require a Meet & Greet with a temperament test to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable & happy. Updated proof of vaccines are required. I can accommodate dogs with specific diets & ones that require medication. I always encourage & foster good behavior with positive correction & reinforcement! Any personalized requests for your pets must be made at BOOKING (such as private pet sitting or boarding) so we can review & discuss. OWNERS MUST DISCLOSE UNNEUTERED MALES or UNSPAYED FEMALES SO I CAN EVALUATE & EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THEM. I am happy to DONATE TEN PERCENT of my NET EARNINGS from your ROVER BOOKING to a CHARITY WATCH ANIMAL ADVOCACY GROUP. Owners will receive copies of each donation receipt. ALTERNATIVELY, I have recently developed relationships with several small rescues in poor underserved communities that have no animal control resources in the Rio Grande Valley, Brownsville, Cleveland & El Paso TX. These locations have an endless flow of dumped, abandoned, abused, unaltered pets. I make weekly contributions to these rescues to assist with food, supplies, needed medications & foster & adoption efforts. I am happy to provide copies of my donations & their rescue information.

I welcome all kinds of pets dogs: young, adult, senior, shy, relaxed, active, disabled & outgoing . I make every effort to establish a warm, loving, kind, respectful, relationship with each animal to ensure they are happy, secure & comfortable. To ensure a comfortable & safe experience for everyone, I analyze & evaluate your pet’s needs regularly based on their behavior. Typically, I offer playtime several times throughout the day based on temperament & energy level. We always play a variety of games to keep them mentally stimulated. After which, I bring them inside after playtime to wind down & will give organic treats to each pet individually to reward them & keep them entertained. (At Owner’s express permission). We then have nap time with soft soothing jazz or classical music. I can provide varied daily walks and/or playtime for mental stimulation & physical exercise. I can also offer daily excursions to local parks, preserves or conservation sites both for additional charges. I provide Dog TV, PBS, as well as NPR, Classic rock, Blues & Jazz for their listening pleasure! All bowls, blankets are washed daily. I regularly practice commands with approved treats & always encourage good behavior with both redirection & positive reinforcement.
