Loving your TINY babies!❤️🐶

Dear families: IM BACK FROM DUBAI, for a couple of months. Just reactivated my services. Book soon if you need me to keep your babies for the holidays! I miss all your precious babies! See you soon! 🐶😍❤️ We like to embrace the initial dog vacay/rover purpose: to have your TINY furry baby go to a family home to feel loved while away from home! This is a family home, not a boarding place, so our spaces are very limited. Since we take SMALL BREEDS ONLY we are experts on their personality trends (nervousness, separation anxiety, fears, etc), and understand their needs at different stages in life: puppies, senior dogs, disabled dogs. we ONLY accept dogs under 15 pounds, no exemption, and I never have more than three, or four tiny visitors at a time to maximize care and one-on-one time. We make sure our guests have a peaceful and restful time, if their health or age demands it. Or simply said, you may not want your precious 4 pounds furry baby being squeezed by a 70 pounds massive visitor while playing outside! I work from home, so there will always be some one at home to love on your precious babies. ——— I have had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a Saint Bernard, a cocker spaniel, a mini-poodle, a beautiful bunny (she always thought she was a dog, and we never told her the truth! she would come running to the door to greet you, she responded to her name and slept on our beds). I also had cats and birds. All at the same time! Nowadays, I'm happily married, and have two very responsible teenage boys, who also happen to love animals! My husband is an excellent trainer (by nature though, not as a career), and an incredible Alfa male. We have two lovely shitzu family members, Snickers and Lucy. Our puppies are loving, well behaved, house broken, and very playful. We specialize in puppies' care (under a year old), and at any age prefer non-agresive and well behaved dogs. We live in a beautiful large house, with a fenced in yard and many separate areas. Our guests will get plenty of love, exercise, sun, space and fun. We sleep with our puppies in our bedrooms so we are eager to accommodate our guests as part of our family. We do not crate our dogs neither yours, unless requested by you. We take daily pictures and send reports about our guests. Most of our guests are repeated, and very much loved! Rover has helped us create an extended family among all of us, pet lovers, it’s amazing! Before our seven years registered with dog vacay/rover we have cared for our friends' and neighbors' dogs for many years. We also provide oral medication, or special treatments when needed. We can Skype or FaceTime with you to give you peace of mind during your time away. IMPORTANT NOTE: I have severe back problems because of a car accident, so please don’t lie about your baby’s weight on the request; if he or she is over 15 pounds, I will have to reject the service at drop off, without a refund. Thank you for your understanding. General regulations: All animals must be current on all shots, free of any contagious diseases, on flea/tick prevention and we don't host intact adult dogs.

I left my baby in the best hands that I could have left her in! It is clear that this was just like being at home for her. We will definitely bring her back! Thank you soooo much Fernanda, Elkin, Mama, Lucy, and Snickers!!!🥰🐶

Schedule

I work at home and enjoy my guests' company. I usually start my day by 7am or earlier when needed and set to work by 8am. We will hang out around the house, and play outdoors as each guest requires. Usually I take breaks from the computer each hour and I get my babies outside to play for a few minutes.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and I never let the dogs outside alone without supervision. My home is very calm and safe and puppies as well as older dogs can rest or play as much as they need. I have several spaces around the house to enjoy restful sunny mornings or afternoons. Or to simply chill under the blankets to watch a movie together in the afternoon. We prefer calm, friendly, trained dogs. I don’t accept aggressive dogs at any time.

Pets

A typical day

Our large fenced in yard will provide plenty of walking, running and playing space for our guests. Time outside is unlimited, specially on beautiful, sunny days. I stay out with them at all times and make sure they get their exercise! We run, we play frisbie, there are balls everywhere to play fetch, or even the old style stick fetch. This will provide your pup the most fun, while in the safest environment. We hold them, kiss them, belly rub them, and cuddle together to watch tv in the evenings. Guests sleeping arrangements: We sleep with our furry babies on our beds, so you just tell us and your doggie will be sleeping as comfortable as if they were home. Supervision: I am home 24 hours a day and enjoy my guests' company. We will hang out around the house, and play outdoors.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Fernanda can host up to 2 pets per night
We specialize in small breeds. During our meet and greet we ask all kind of questions because the more we know the better we can take care of your baby! I always remind families to bring everything your furry baby knows to make them feel as close to home as possible, like their bedding, their toys, simply anything they would love to have with them while away from home. This always eases the separation anxiety issues. We need to know their schedule, routines, special moves only you know, feeding behavior, sleeping arrangements, vet info, etc, etc. the more we know, the better it will be for them to enjoy their time with us!
