Awesome Puppy Mommy with Yard

Pet care experience

Hello there! We're a loving and responsible couple who are thrilled to take care of your furry friend. With us, your pup will be showered with love and have a fantastic time. Here's what we offer: 🐾 Spacious Home: Our two-story house features a grassy, fenced yard where your pup can run and play freely. The fence is secure with latched gates, measuring 8 ft on the sides and 6 ft on the back. 🐾 Comfortable Living: Our home is all hardwood and tile, including the stairs. Please note that if your pup has mobility issues, our setup may not be suitable for them. 🐾 Friendly Boxer: We have a playful and easygoing boxer pup named Crumbles, who loves making new friends. She gets along great with most dogs, but high-energy or aggressive dogs may not be the best match. 🐾 Peaceful Nights: Our Rover dogs, including Crumbles, sleep in our room in their own cozy beds. We kindly ask that dogs be quiet through the night due to our sensitivity to noise. 🐾 Compatibility Matters: We prefer low to medium energy dogs, as Crumbles isn't comfortable with highly energetic pups. Dogs with separation anxiety or fireworks phobia may not be the best fit for our home. 🐾 Limited Availability: While we occasionally accept additional bookings, we prioritize pups we have cared for before to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. Typically, we host no more than four pups, including Crumbles. 🐾 Dedicated Care: Working from home allows us to provide constant attention and care for your pup. Daily walks and ample outdoor time are part of our routine. 🐾 Updates Galore: We treat your pup like our own, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness throughout their stay. Expect regular photo updates to keep you connected. We can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! Please note that we require meet and greets for all new sits, and we kindly request at least 48 hours' notice for booking requests. Looking forward to providing a delightful stay for your beloved pet!

Rest assured, we have a fenced yard that provides a safe and secure space for your beloved pet to explore and enjoy. Here's what we offer: 🐾 Fenced Yard: Our home comes with a fenced yard, allowing your fur baby to roam and play freely. They'll have the freedom to sniff, run, and have a great time in a secure outdoor environment. 🐾 Friendly Companion: We have a friendly pup of our own who loves making new friends. Your fur baby will have a playful pal to keep them company during their stay with us. They can engage in supervised interactions and enjoy some good old-fashioned doggie fun together. 🐾 Comfortable Crate Option: We understand that some fur babies feel more secure in a crate, and we're more than happy to accommodate their needs. If your pet prefers or requires crate time, we can provide a cozy and comfortable space for them to relax and feel at ease. We prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of your fur baby, and we'll go the extra mile to ensure they have a pleasant and stress-free experience with us. Let us know your pet's preferences, and we'll make sure they have a tail-wagging time!

Information Crystal M. would like to know about your pet

**We May Not Be A Good Fit For Your Pup If** - Your pup is 2 years old or younger, as they have high energy levels and specific puppy needs. Puppies tend to treat Crumbles, our dog, like a chew toy, and she doesn't enjoy it. - House training is not yet established, and your dog isn't well-behaved around furniture, items, and other dogs or people. - Your pup loves to dig in yards; in that case, we might not be the best match for a pet-sitting arrangement. - Your pup experiences separation anxiety, excessive whining or barking when left alone, or is uncomfortable being confined. We aim to create a stress-free environment for all our furry friends. - If your pup is a late-night party animal, we kindly ask for quiet nights during their stay due to our light sleep issues. - Our home features hardwood/tile floors and hardwood stairs, which might not be suitable for pups with mobility issues. We prioritize the safety and comfort of all our furry guests. - Crumbles, our resident pup, is most comfortable with low to medium-energy dogs. If your pup has high energy levels, they may not be the best fit for our home. - (HOLIDAYS) If your pup has anxiety or fear related to fireworks, our neighborhood tends to have heavy fireworks activity during holidays, which may not be the best fit for their stay. **Limited Bookings** Occasionally, we accept additional bookings during your pup's stay, but we ensure that the total number of dogs, including Crumbles, does not exceed four. We prioritize pups we have cared for previously to maintain their comfort and safety. **Booking and Drop-off Guidelines:** Weekends & Holidays (Saturday & Sunday): For drop-offs before 9 am on weekends and holidays, we kindly request that you schedule and bring your dog the evening before. This helps ensure a smooth transition for your pet and allows us to provide the best care possible. Weekdays (Monday - Thursday): For pickups after 9 pm on weekdays, we ask that you plan to pick up your furry friend the following day. This ensures that your pet gets ample rest and attention during their stay with us. **Mosquito Season Precautions:** As our yard is located next to a creek, please ensure that your pup is up to date on heartworm and flea medication during mosquito season. We may provide natural doggy bug spray and Benadryl to soothe any itching for the pups under our care. What to Bring: Please make sure your pup arrives with the following items: Leash and harness (gentle leader if needed) Sufficient food for the stay with clear feeding instructions Food and water bowls Poop bags Bed Toys or treats Medications or supplements with instructions, if applicable Crate, if your pup is currently crated Any additional care notes we may need (if not already communicated through the app) We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your furry companion. Please feel free to reach out if you have any specific concerns or questions. We're excited to welcome your pup into our home!
