FULL TIME **Wife & Husband duo!**

Pet care experience

FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet business. ==ABOUT US== Gigi and Steven are both dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children but Gigi was gifted her first dog, a maltipoo named Nunu, as a surprise college graduation gift! Our first client ever that started this all was Lexy, the sweetest elderly red cockapoo that ever lived, which we loved and cared for longterm for years. Since then, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! In 2019 we visited NKLA and Steven refused to leave the shelter without bringing home an adorable and loving Chihuahua Pomeranian mix that we would name Katsu, since his color reminds Steven of fried chicken :) Katsu is playful, sweet, and extremely socialized and tolerant of other dogs. He has never shown any signs of aggression, but can be a very growly player. ==MEET AND GREETS== We personally do not require Meet and Greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and Greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference :) ==HALF-DAY TRIAL DAYCARE RATE (FIRST TIME CLIENTS ONLY)== If you would like to give us a try or simply want your pup to get ready for a longer stay with us, we offer a 4-hour trial day discount. If you are interested, simply message us about booking a trial daycare. Adjustments to the rate must be made prior to pick up if extra hours are added on. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: - Daycare rate covers 12 hours* - Boarding rate covers 24 hours** *If a Daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will automatically be applied. **If a Boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will automatically be applied. ***A CONVENIENCE FEE of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9:00am - 9:00pm. If you would like a digital portrait of your dog painted, please let us know! For $25, you will receive a momento of your pup which will include their head and chest. Please allow a 3-5 days for completion and delivery. Please see our pet pictures for examples :) If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend!

Gigi and Steven are fantastic! They took our pup last minute and took great care of him. He came home ready for a nap!

==DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY== Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with each dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have multiple gates at each threshhold to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to a dedicated doggy playroom that opens up directly to our 550+ sqft turfed backyard dedicated solely to pups! ==FEEDING== During feeding time, your dog will be fed in a crate or pen to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food. ==SLEEPING== -Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specifify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available) - Dogs who are not crate-trained will sleep in a pen - Special accomodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of these ==WALKS== While it is our goal to make sure each dog gets proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide individual walks due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness/collar, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc.). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs here to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us.

Information Gigi & Steven J. would like to know about your pet

Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. ==THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG== - Is your pup sick and/or contagious?* - Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking etc.) - Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers - If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions - Is your pup up-to-date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication? We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease within the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued.

A typical day

Dogs go out for their morning relief first thing and a brief playtime before starting breakfast. Water is always available and provided throughout the day. To keep your dog a safe as possible, they will stay on our property for the entirety of their stay and individual walks are only provided if needed for pups who have been restless and haven't been able to get their energy out. During playtime, your dog is free to roam between our fully-fenced backyard and dedicated doggy studio so they can choose whether they want to be indoors or outdoors. Outdoor playtime is always supervised and dogs are never left alone outside.

==SCHEDULE== Steven and Gigi are both full time dog sitters! We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". Since we do not have any weekends or regular days off, we instead have a very rich Sunday set aside for church in the morning and family time afterwards until 3pm every Sunday. If pick up and/or drop off falls on a Sunday, please be aware that we do not meet with clients on Sundays between the hours of 8am - 3pm. However, we are happy to chat about any abnormal or emergency scheduling.
