Thanks for stopping by! Prior to contacting us, please at least read: 'About us and how we work' 'With your request we need the following' Communication hours for new requests are 8am-8pm. If dates are blocked out on our calendar, we are not only unavailable to provide services, but unavailable to review requests as well. We welcome meet and greets anytime even if you're not planning to book for a while! If we have already met you and your pet(s) we are more apt to be available should you have a last minute booking request. If we have not met you and your pet(s), please understand lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part (just as we wouldn't cancel on you last minute) :). We now offer leash training (loose leash walking) for a nominal fee! ------------------------------------------- ***𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤*** ------------------------------------------- - When we're available to book I work from home during the week with breaks every 1-2 hours plus an hour lunch. - Being an engineer (I call myself an engineer with personality ha) we uphold the ethics of the engineering profession when pets are under our care; there is intent as to how we do things here, from setup and structure to analyzing situations and solving potential problems so we can have a fun, comfortable, engaging, and happy environment for all. It's not a random free for all :) - We see it as a tremendous honor putting your trust in us and we uphold that in its entirety with fun! - We practice active attention here to understand the ins and outs of their individual unique personality for a personalized experience - We understand the extra care and attention needed with disabilities and medical conditions requiring medications and prioritize those requirements without a second thought - Breeds are less important than how a dog is raised, as how a dog is raised is a reflection of yourself too :). We like to mesh well with the doggies and the owners in how we run our business. - We respect whether your pet would like to make new friends with other doggies that may be in our care or prefer more quiet time. We accomplish both even during the busy holidays! - We are conscientious about the photos in our profile that show the environment your doggies will be in (not showing an array of selfies as if this was serving as a dating app to evaluate my looks, ha!) - We don't do this as a random job just to make money, our priority is offering a home of love rather than a kennel - We do not ask or expect anything we cannot or are not willing to do ourselves and seek that in return, with that: 1. My dog is mostly good and respects authority including recall and not being aggressive with food/toys/ things he shouldn't have. If your doggy does not respect authority, and/or is not mostly good, we may not be a good fit as extra charges may be incurred. We cannot ethically charge the same price for doggies that have been appropriately trained or are actively in process of being appropriately trained. If your dog causes damage to our home we expect to be reimbursed just as I would if mine were to cause damage at someone else's home. 2. Your pets must be updated on vaccinations/ shots/ prevention. I would never take my dog to someone else's home if he was not up to date. If I did and something were to happen I would expect to be responsible for the full effects of everyone affected by me being so inconsiderate, just as we would hold you responsible for the full effects. 3. We work with clients and build relationships based on mutual respect only. If you don't respect us we cannot respect you and if you don't care about what we need, we unfortunately don't care about what you need, and thus not a good fit. We do this job for added positivity, not added stress :). 4. When we confirm a time we honor it and seek a 10 min heads up due to minor fluctuations that may occur (e.g. traffic) to adequately prepare for both drop off and pick up and arrange our schedule around what was agreed upon. We are respectful of your time so be respectful of ours, otherwise we may not be a good fit as extra charges may be incurred if we're sitting and waiting without having received updated communications :(. We appreciate your support to having a fun, healthy, safe, and comfortable environment! ------------------------------------------- ***Boarding*** ------------------------------------------- - We are not the sitter for you if your pets do not get along with dogs. Not only does a dog live here, we often have other doggies in our care. - If you desire the guarantee to be the only client we have, there will be a much higher boarding cost; note though that this will not be an option for holidays when we have more guests (no we do not take on more doggies than we can manage) - Pickup/drop off rate is for a single pick up or single drop off within a 5 mile radius. If further distance is required we will let you know the rate. Bonus, this can also include pick up / drop offs of yourself at the airport. Videos of lock up showing everything is safe and sound are always included - We offer baths for free! Well for those doggies who tolerate it :) ------------------------------------------- ***Drop-ins/walking*** ------------------------------------------- - We are not the sitter for you if requests are made for more than 2 consecutive days while you're out of town. Our ethics prevent us from allowing doggies to have such limited interaction when they would be much better off just coming over to stay with us. - If you do not need the full half hour we can work around that pricing as sometimes doggies just need to be let out just to do what they've gotta do and some kitties, or should I say most, definitely do not want to be entertained for a half hour ha - Videos of lock up showing everything is safe and sound are always included ------------------------------------------- ***House-sitting*** ------------------------------------------- - We are not the sitter for you if you expect us to pay for the boarding of my dog elsewhere rather than him coming with
