Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! I have owned and cared for dogs and other pets my whole life, and I've had dogs for the last 26 years straight. This is my passion and full time job! Over the past 6 years on Rover I have had well over 750 unique dogs stay with me, and it will be my pleasure to sit for yours! While staying with me I can manage any behavioral issues your dog may be experiencing due to anxiety, fear or aggression.  Your pup will be acclimated slowly to ensure they get along with the pack!  I want your dog to be healthy both physically AND mentally.  Whether you have a pup or an elderly dog, we make sure they are comfortable during their stay! My friends/family/clients consider me somewhat of a dog whisperer, and I can teach your dog a few secrets.  This ranges from simply walking with you politely, to putting a stop to resource guarding (food/toys) etc.*  I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved one(s)! ***Holidays are my busiest times of year! Dogs need to be dropped off here the day before and picked up on the day after any holiday.*** ****FAQ Q: Are you available to take my dog? A: Yes!  I may not reply in 1 minute to confirm this, but the answer is yes, unless my calendar is blocked out.  Yes this includes the upcoming Holidays! Be patient, I will get back to you! Q: Will my dog be the only one there? A: No. There can be as a many as a dozen others, especially on weekends.  My cousin Richie works with me full time, so yes we can manage it!   Many people feel their dogs "don't do well with others".  Sometimes being with a pack is just what they need! There is a difference between a dog showing aggression vs. a dog setting boundaries. We manage their activity and have the means to house separately if need be.  Q: Can we have a Meet and Greet? A: Yes. I try to book the Meet & Greets Tuesdays and Wednesday's.  We will let your dog get familiar/comfortable with me in my place, while we chat about your pup.  It isn't required; if you feel your dog does fine anywhere or do not have the time/transportation.  Q: Is training included with my dogs stay? A: To an extent.  We will address basic behaviorial issues in order to maintain order in the pack.  Boarding and assessment is booked through Rover, additional training agreements are between us.  Q: Do you work from home? A: Yes, looking after your pup  is our full time job! Q: My young male isn't neutered yet. Is that ok? A: Yes that's fine. I haven't had any issues with young males.  I have also taken a couple submissive adults on occasion. Q: Do you take last minute bookings? A: Yes. An additional one time $20 fee will be added to your booking.
