Information Deon & Stephen M. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know if there is a care guide you would like for us to review and do for your pets. Although we love animals, we will not accept unvaccinated pets. We would also like to know your pets temperament and how they behave with other animals/humans. As pet parents, we do not want to put in danger our family specially our two toy poodles Alexander and Luna.

A typical day

We start the day with a walk with my other two fur babies after that they get a snack to energize them up for some play time. After that they take their usual naps and or play with each other on a play pen. We do not have a set schedule for our pets, we are sporadic and changes plan depending on the day. Our day mostly consist of playing and looking after our two toy poodles. My husband and I consider them our kids. If your pet is boarding with us they will be joining our adventures and play time.

Pet care experience

"We were both raised and grew up surrounded by pets. Stephen loves and adores animals and since we both decided we are not taking anymore additional pets. We decided as a compromise we will do pet sitting and help take care of our pet customers We will not compete with the affordability of other pet sitters as we do not want to give your pets a lower standard of care and attention when they are in our home. When they stay with us they will be treated like they are our own and will play outside or go to parks if we take our dogs to the park. We are watchful of our pets diet and buy premium quality treats and if you allow, will also be shared to your pets. Routinely, we give our two toy poodles showers and brushes their teeth. If your pet is staying with us that time, we will also shower and/or brush their teeth. We will clean after them on accidents and keep all animals hygienic. We have a beautiful, clean and secured home that your pets will be comfortable with. All pets in our home whether ours or not are allowed access to the entire first floor of our newly built home. At night before we go to bed, we do let the fur babies go upstairs and sleep with us. Updates will be sent periodically with pictures and videos because we know as pet parents how hard it is and worrisome to leave our pet animals for others to care for. We guarantee you that as long as your request is reasonable, we will do our best to accommodate them. If we are not able to comply or do a request, we will let you know before you/we accept the booking for transparency. Also, in the event of an emergency we will act on good spirit and do the best for the health of the pets staying with us if we can't reach you. We are a loving family and patient to animals. Our two toy poodles are gentle and loves playing with other animals. They share their toys and bed and are very friendly and docile. They will be well taken care off and will be treated like our own family when you board them in our home. Our animals are welcome to stay with us and sleep on our couches and bed and we wouldn't treat your pet any different.

I highly recommend Deon and Stephen, my husband and I went on a trip, they took care of our Bichon like one of their own, she ate excellent food and I was updated with pictures throughout the day with their activities, she came back home bathed and brushed, I am really happy with their care.

Highly recommend! We couldn't ask for a better experience for our pugs. Even traveling abroad we received frequent updates, photos & videos of our pugs having the time of their lives.

This was my third time leaving Hans with Deon Stephen. Wonderful pet sitters. Two of the kindest people I’ve met. Always sending pictures and feeds Hans twice a day with great home made meals. And the best part. They give him a bath before pick up. Wow. I have total peace of mind while I am on vacation.
