I pet sit because I can’t reasonably commit to more dogs of my own.. when we adopted each of our 3 dogs, we did it with the intention of us being their family until death do us part! Boarding in our home is going to be a “family home” setting for your pet and if that’s not an environment that your pet thrives in, unfortunately we won’t be a good match. We do have kids and dogs of our own but we never allow them to interact with visitors without direct supervision. For the duration of your pets stay in our home, our dogs will be most often contained to the laundry room. Your dogs are welcome to be baby gated into their own space but for dogs that are not house trained, we do prefer to crate when they are not being directly supervised. We have successfully dog sat for dogs of all ages and are familiar with thunder shirts and most harnesses! We live on 3 acres with a small portion fenced in.. if your dog is a “runner” I do ask that you bring a collar or harness that they are comfortable with for all potty breaks. We have plenty of leashes and will use them each time your dog is outside, even inside the fence if there is a risk of your dog attempting an escape to explore! I’m flexible and a full time home maker so feel free to message me with any extra requests.. it’s likely that I’ll be able to accommodate your babies! I’m here every day during the week providing pet care to both our pets and visiting pets, in addition to managing our small hobby farm. Services I offer while your pet is under my care include feeding, watering and exercising in addition to keeping you up to date on the status of your pet when they are unable to be with you.
