It’s More Than “Pet Sitting” to Us!

Pet care experience

Greetings! Please be sure to read our profile thoroughly prior to requesting-especially our “Onboarding Process” and “Policies” sections. Whether you are vacation-ready, work long hours, or just need time to unwind, you can depend on us! Our mission is to provide your companions the ultimate care with compassion, purpose and excellence. In doing so, we strive to exceed all expectations and enrich the lives of you and your companions. Though we seem to have moved past the 2020 scares, rest assured Destiny & Ethan are FULLY vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19!* Regardless of our vaccine status, we can wear masks and/or show our COVID-19 vaccination cards upon request. PST! New to Rover? Wanna save $$$? Message us for our first time discount code, regardless of booking! _____________________________ OUR EXPERIENCE: _____________________________ • Ethan has experience working at a dog shelter, where he took on the responsibility of caring after several dogs/puppies and cats! • Destiny has worked at an animal hospital, where her responsibilities were caring for boarders (consisting mainly of cats and dogs), maintaining records of behavior, feeding, allowing for bathroom time, trimming nails, bathing dogs and giving medications. • Destiny currently works full-time as a ULAR Animal Care Technician, specializing in rodent care (with some marmoset care included)! She is also partaking in a Socialization & Enrichment Program at her job-where she is entrusted with providing care and specialized enrichment to Guinea Pigs and Rabbits! • Destiny has interned at the Aark Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center. In addition to this, she is CPR & First Aid certified through ProTrainings, which remains valid until July 2024. • We both have experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. • We both share 8 years of experience with animals (mainly dogs and cats). We both worked at a Doggie Daycare & Boarding business, where we learned to watch for dog behavior, and understand temperaments and play styles. We also learned how to detect signs of anxiety, stress, and aggression in dogs, and how to handle them! In addition to this, we learned to manage a large group of dogs (different sizes and breeds) alone. • WE ARE A LICENSED & INSURED BUSINESS! _____________________________ OUR MAIN POLICIES _____________________________ The following policies ensure that both parties achieve the smoothest and most pleasant service. Be sure to carefully review all and ask us for clarification if need be! • We offer services on a “first come, first serve” basis. If you wish to be locked in on our schedule, you must officially book the stay (this includes finalizing the Onboarding Process). Under no circumstances should you assume that you are covered without a completed invoice. • Take a moment to review our cancellation policy. (On desktop-this is located on the bottom left under our calendar. For app users-this is located under the “Services” tab under our calendar.) • Clients MUST provide at least one house key during the M&G (unless a key is inapplicable). We can make a copy of keys for no additional cost. If you choose not to allow us to keep key, a $20 handling fee for each pickup and return will be in order. For safety and security, we will NOT leave keys under doormats and hidden on the property. Due to power outages, battery failures, or malfunctions, we require a key to allow access to your home. We will NOT use garage codes as the primary source of access. Without key access, we will not be held liable or responsible for any incomplete services and the client will be charged for the full visit and any related fees. • TIMEFRAMES: We require clients select from our four (4) timeframe options, unless pet(s) require medical care, in which a one-hour window will be applied. The timeframes available are as described below: MORNING: 6-10AM MIDDAY: 11-2PM AFTERNOON: 2-5PM EVENING: 6-9PM _____________________________ OUR ONBOARDING PROCESS: _____________________________ All prospective clients must go through our onboarding process prior to the start of any service(s). The following is what is required (in order): • Intake Form (powered through Google Forms) • Review and Sign Service Agreement & Vet Release Forms • In-Person Meet & Greet *A phone or video chat can be scheduled in replacement of the Intake Form should you have questions/comments/concerns and/or need clarification.* Our Onboarding Process allows us to better understand your companion(s), your expectations and go over our ways of operating. Please note: The onboarding process is NOT a guarantee to our services. Again, this is simply for all parties to meet and understand each other’s expectations and needs. *Depending on the situation, we may request a trial walk. This helps us get a better idea of their walking behavior and walking needs. A trial stay may be considered if need be for a fee.*

Destiny and Ethan are wonderful people, and they are wonderful sitters. We have a 15 week old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy and we were very nervous about leaving him for the first time. Destiny and Ethan both took the time to come over, learn the routine, and ask clarifying questions. I really appreciated Destiny's communication during the visit, and she left a very detailed report card. Our puppy was expertly taken care of, and I feel very lucky to have found them as they are trustworthy sitters. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Destiny and Ethan!

This is my second time having Destiny and Ethan watch my cats. There’s not anyone I trust more to watch the cats than them and the cats love them. Even my skittish shy kitty came out and spent time with them. I’m really appreciative of them taking care of my cats and it always bring me peace of mind.

We never commit to something that may put your companion(s) in harm's way. For our fun adventures, we always ask for your permission beforehand. We come equipped with 2 FULLY PACKED animal medical kits on us at all times. We have animal deterrents (which we bring on walks and adventures), extra collars and leashes, pet seatbelts, animal poison control number and more!

(Fees apply.) • Constant Care can only be provided on the weekend (Friday - Sunday). (Prices vary.) • Fearful companion that requires one-on-one time? We can do that! Only need one of us for the job? Not a problem! We can help alleviate your companion's stresses and fears (fear of men, fear of women, general trust issues). Let us know! • Enrichment Only Visits for dogs and cats coming soon! _____________________________ THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! We look forward to meeting with you and your companion(s)!

Information Destiny & Ethan V. would like to know about your pet

Behavior (overall, and also with people and other dogs), any medication(s), any medical condition(s), any allergies, and what they normally do everyday. Also, feeding (scheduled or not, how much), triggers, (loud sounds, certain people/dogs, etc.), walks (how long, set distance?, how often, etc.), and how is good and bad behavior treated? (All these and more can be answered on our Intake Form!) We accept all breeds!

A typical day

We want to do whatever your companion is comfortable with! If you have any ideas, just let us know. We would like to keep it mainly the same routine you already have, as most animals thrive off consistency. Still, here is a list of things we can do if interested (and if permitted): High Energy Pups: Head over to a dog-friendly trail. Take a splash on a hot summer day. Go for a run/jog/hike. Play fun, stimulating games! __________________________________________________________ Medium Energy Pups: Play games. Learn/practice tricks. Go out for a nice walk. Go for car rides. __________________________________________________________ Low Energy Pups: Netflix and cuddle! Sit outside and enjoy the view. Cuddles, cuddles and more cuddles!

_____________________________ OUR SCHEDULE: _____________________________ It is extremely important to us that we are able to honor your needs in the time frame requested. Here are some important things to note prior to requesting us: • We both have separate jobs outside of animal care. Because of this, we have to be gone anywhere from 5-7 hours Monday through Thursday. Our schedule works best with those who are able to be left alone for AT LEAST 5-8 hours at a time. There are days where one of us (or both) have leniency, and we will alert you of that! • We can only do evening (5pm and later) Meet & Greets, drop-ins, walks and arrival time for house sittings during the weekdays (Monday - Friday). • We have more availability during the weekend (Saturday - Sunday).
