Safety and health requirements: I’m unable to care for pets that are reactive, aggressive, destructive, or pose a safety risk to people or other animals. All pets must be up to date on routine veterinary care, including vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, to be eligible for any services. All pets must be up to date on veterinarian-recommended parasite prevention to be eligible for any services. All pets must not be sick or show signs of illness at the time of service to be eligible for any services. Meet and greets: Meet and greets are optional but recommended for first-time clients. If you choose to skip the meet and greet, I require detailed care instructions for your pets. Meet and greets are free when held at my home or conducted over the phone or through a video call. If you’d prefer the meet and greet at your home, it must be booked as a drop-in visit. I charge $2 per mile traveled, plus an additional 20% to offset Rover's service fee, which is deducted from each booking. Boarding: Owners are required to provide their pets’ food, litter boxes, cat litter, medications, and any other essential items needed during their stay. I require cat owners to empty and wash their cats’ litter boxes before bringing them to my home. Doggy daycare: I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your dogs can relax, have fun, and feel comfortable throughout the day. Dogs receive playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs to ensure a positive daycare experience. House sitting: Please keep in mind that Rover takes a 20% service fee from each booking. Because of this, I'm unable to offer additional discounts on my house sitting services at this time. While I’m staying in your home, I won’t invite other people over, and I won’t allow other animals into the home. To ensure reliable communication and timely updates during house sitting stays, I require access to WiFi so I can maintain consistent connectivity and respond promptly to messages. Drop-in visits: A standard drop-in visit is 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. I’ll provide your pets with fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and personalized care based on the instructions you provide. For dogs, I’ll provide potty breaks, short walks, and playtime. For cats, I’ll clean litter boxes and make sure they have a calm, stress-free experience, giving them as much attention as they’re comfortable with. Dog walks: Standard dog walks are 30 minutes, with the option to extend to 60 minutes. When it’s very hot outside, I’ll bring fresh water for your dogs and stick to shaded areas for their safety and comfort. Other important information: Each pet must be individually listed on the booking request and have their own profile. Multiple pets may not be booked as a single pet. If all pets aren’t accurately listed, I reserve the right to modify the booking request to reflect the correct number of pets or refuse service. I’ll leave your home in the same condition I found it and will clean up after myself and your pets during my stay. However, my services don’t include general housekeeping tasks or deep cleaning unrelated to pet care. By booking with me, owners of outdoor cats acknowledge that I’m not responsible for any disappearance, injury, illness, or death that occurs while their cats are outdoors during my stay, including, but not limited to, incidents involving other animals, vehicles, environmental hazards, theft, or any other circumstances beyond my control. My pick up and drop off rates reflect the maximum amount I charge for transportation services. Depending on your distance from me, this fee may be reduced. If you would like me to provide pick up and drop off services, you must provide secure, appropriately sized pet carriers for your pets. If the owner, or an authorized individual designated to retrieve the pets, is unavailable at the scheduled drop off time upon my arrival, the pets will be returned to my home and extended stay fees will be charged accordingly. In this situation, the owner is responsible for arranging pick up from my home and will be charged for each additional day the pets remain in my care until pick up is completed. Any pets not picked up within 24 hours of the agreed-upon pick up time, including situations in which pets are returned to my care following an unsuccessful drop off attempt, will be considered abandoned. In such cases, I reserve the right to surrender abandoned pets to the appropriate authorities, animal shelter, or rescue organization in accordance with local laws and regulations. Animals that aren’t dogs or cats: I’m most experienced in caring for rodents, especially rats, mice, gerbils, and hamsters. I don’t have any animal phobias, so I’m happy to care for a wide variety of other animals, including farm animals, rabbits, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. For animals other than dogs and cats, please select the dog profile and choose “Other pets” in the breed dropdown. When booking, please list the species in your message. For small pets, I charge per habitat rather than per individual animal. For example, multiple small pets living in the same enclosure are counted as one dog, while separate habitats are counted individually.
