1 dog at a time= tons of personalized attention. Dogs love our fenced in backyard and the nature trail right by our house that we love to walk them on! (We do accept two dogs from the same dog family/home). I love animals and your pet will receive tons of attention and love from our family. Dogs are welcome on our couch. Lots of attention, nature walks and snuggles. I love walking so your pet will receive multiple walks a day! We do not currently have a pet of our own in our home. We have lots of experience owning our own dogs and taking care of friends and family dogs and now Rover dogs! I have also fostered many rescue dogs. I will be the primary caregiver (I work part-time so lots of time for your dog. I strongly prefer dog sitting to substitute teaching, so I am happy to either stay home or only take half day jobs. I will either be home with the dog or occasionally gone for up to 4-5 hours).Our 12 year old son has lots of love and cuddles to give! (Myself or my husband will always be in charge, holding leash of your dog, my son will just be cuddling and playing- at all times supervised by us). We prefer pets that can be crated while we are not at home. Happy to have a quick phone call if you have any questions or if you want to meet us happy to set up a meet n greet! Note: -For Thanksgiving & Christmas Break only due to the high demand we are open to taking 2 dogs max as we will have time to walk them separately if necessary and both be home to help with the demand. * For Christmas if the stay is 7 nights or more and you need your dog to be the only one we still have availability to do that and would make an exception for a 7 night or more extended stay to be the only dog. 1 spot is filled for Thanksgiving 1 spot left. *We have a nature trail right by our house with your permission we could walk it. * We have experience with keeping dogs separate from other dogs if needed. *I would not take your dog to a dog park or anywhere with unleashed dogs unless you requested it. *we will ask for you to send us a copy of vet records ahead of time showing up to date on rabies & fleas & tick protection etc. *we use non-toxic cleaning supplies and filter water so premium experience for your dog! * I will ask you what your dogs typical routine/schedule is and try to stick as close as possible to keep your dog in its routine. I prefer to have an in person meet n greet but if it is last minute at least a brief phone call to find out the max info about your pet! Feel free to ask me about add-ons such as bathing/grooming (depends on the size of dog) and photography packages. (photos on Rover are included - some of my photographs have been so good that owners have asked for copies of the photos to blow up so there will be an extra small charge for rights to my photos:) always happy to have a brief phone call to go over any questions!
