FIRST TIME ROVER CLIENTS: USE PROMO CODE EVVIAM50832 FOR $20 OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING Hi, I'm Evvia. I've been caring for pets for more than 15 years, and over the years I've learned that successful boarding starts with finding the right fit. My home is designed for small, friendly, confident dogs that can comfortably adapt to a household routine. Not every dog enjoys boarding, and that's okay. Some dogs thrive in a home away from home. Others are happier receiving care in their own environment with a house sitter. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, structured environment where dogs can relax while their families are away. My Ideal Boarding Guest To be a good fit for my home, dogs must meet all of the following requirements: • Weigh 45 pounds or less • Be friendly with people and other dogs • Be well mannered in a home environment • Be fully house trained • Be crate trained • Be comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight • Be able to settle comfortably when away from their owner • Be able to spend reasonable periods of time without constant human attention • Be able to adapt to a household routine without excessive barking, destruction, or anxiety Dogs Are Not a Good Fit If They: • Weigh more than 45 pounds • Have a history of aggression toward people or animals • Require medication specifically to cope with boarding or separation from their owner • Are not fully house trained • Use puppy pads indoors • Require diapers • Require routine sanitary care such as rear end wiping • Cannot be crated • Need to sleep in bed with a human • Bark excessively • Have severe separation anxiety • Require constant supervision • Have a history of escape attempts • Display destructive behaviors when left alone House Training Dogs must be fully house trained. I do not use puppy pads indoors, and I do not provide ongoing cleanup for dogs that routinely have accidents inside the home. An occasional accident in a new environment is understandable. A dog that regularly urinates or defecates indoors is not a good fit for my boarding program. Crates and Sleeping Arrangements All dogs sleep in crates at night. Dogs do not sleep in my bed. Crates help create a predictable routine and allow everyone to rest safely and comfortably. Medication I am happy to administer routine medications for medical conditions when discussed in advance. However, dogs that require medication specifically to tolerate boarding, separation from their family, or being in a new environment are generally not a good fit for my boarding program. These dogs are often happier receiving care in their own home with a house sitter. Senior Dogs Senior dogs are welcome provided they remain fully house trained, mobile, and able to comfortably participate in a normal household routine. Sanitary Care I do not provide diaper changes, puppy pad management, routine rear end wiping, ongoing incontinence care, or other extensive hygiene support. Food Owners are responsible for providing enough food for the entire stay. Sudden food changes can cause digestive upset, so I prefer dogs remain on their normal diet whenever possible. Vaccinations and Health Dogs must be current on legally required vaccinations and must be free from contagious illness at the time of drop off. Meet and Greets Meet and greets are available prior to booking. They allow us to discuss your dog's personality, routine, medical needs, and determine whether my home is the right fit. The goal is not to convince each other to move forward. The goal is to make sure your dog will be comfortable, safe, and successful during their stay. Trial Stays For longer boarding reservations, I strongly recommend a daycare visit or short overnight stay beforehand. This helps everyone determine whether the environment is a good fit before committing to an extended stay. Updates I know leaving your dog can feel stressful. Photos and updates are available throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing they're doing well. Honesty Matters You know your dog better than anyone. Please disclose any history of aggression, resource guarding, escape attempts, excessive barking, separation anxiety, marking, destructive behavior, bite incidents, or other behavioral concerns before booking. The more accurate the information, the better I can determine whether my home is the right fit. If a dog's behavior differs significantly from what was disclosed before booking, I reserve the right to contact Rover and arrange alternative accommodations if necessary for the safety and well being of everyone involved. If you're looking for an experienced sitter for a friendly, well mannered, fully house trained small dog, I'd love to hear from you.
