Availability

I currently only book stays or walks that are at most 1 month in advance. If you would like to book farther out just send a message and give me a heads up but I can’t confirm the booking until we are closer to the dates as I can’t guarantee my availability. I am currently taking a year off from school before I start vet school and I do rover part time to gain extra experience working with animals for my future career.

We’ve had Dana watch our place twice. Both times, she has taken great care of our pets. Thanks!
