*****Please read all the way to the end before messaging me****** I have over 14 years of combined experience in pet and house sitting. My dog passed away recently, so please be patient with me: ****Dogs 5 years old and up, and Senior dogs preferred***** I want to be very clear that I am a dog sitter not a trainer. I do not watch dogs who are not fully house trained, have major separation anxiety, stress accidents, don't sleep through the night, who are in the teething/chewing phase, or have been aggressive and bitten dogs or people in the past. Trainers do exist out there, they charge a lot more money, and I am not one of them. If you have never left your dog with a stranger before, I am not your sitter***** Just because they behave well at home or at Grandma's house doesn't mean they won't be anxious at a new sitters house. What I do provide is the following: My main services involve providing food and water, brushing, taking pets to vet appointments, administering medicine, taking dogs out for a walk, and providing companionship. I only accept 1 or 2 dogs at a time, so that I can give great care! I often go for hikes and will bring the able dogs with me. (Please have dogs treated against fleas and ticks), and I also take those who are able to the dog parks. For senior dogs who prefer to be walked shorter distances, I bring them on a leash around the block. Prior to each dog sit, I always like to receive a full brief from the owners with a specific focus on the pet behavior and requirements. While on duty, I regularly take photos and videos of your dog(s) and share them upon request. You deserve a holiday, and your pet also, and I love to spoil them! Please bring your fur baby over clean with trimmed nails, a crate that is a proper size for your dog, also please wash their bed cover before coming over. I have had a fair few clients that bring their pet to me dirty, matted, and their bed is not clean, and as much as I love them I don't want dirty beds and dogs in my home. Thank-you for understanding. I am working full time from home so I will have lots of time to play and walk you dog that I board! I am home 7 days a week currently. Please respect my work schedule and appointments do vary, so meet and greets may also need to vary. I have a fenced yard in a townhouse downtown in Kelowna. I care for them by feeding and walking them twice a day. I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to attend to dogs needs. I require that all dogs are well groomed and flea and tick treated before staying at my place for the safety of my home, and other dogs. I do occasionally have to step out, so if your dog has major separation anxiety and barks a lot then I am not the right fit. Please read the rover guarantee in full. If your dog bites any other dog in my care and I have to take them to the vet then I will hold you responsible for the first $250 dollars rover does not cover. You will also be responsible for the claims process. If you are not a responsible pet parent, and willing and able to take responsibility for any damage your dog causes,please do not book with me.
