Dogs bring me sooo much joy!
Pet care experience
Hi, I want to start of by saying that I absolutely love animals especially dogs & elephants because they truly bring me a lot of joy and happiness when I'm around them. EXPERIENCE: 🐶 Growing up, I've volunteered at several Animal shelters & my family has provided temporary shelter/fostering for a lot of pets. Iam absolutely obsessed with animals (except snakes lol). 🐾 I like to believe i specialize in small breeds because I’ve always owned a small breed, and have raised them from either birth or 8 weeks+ years old. I know the attention and delicate care these little ones need. I also know how michievious and cute they can be, and Iam very trained and prepared for those circumstances. I will also say I also like to believe i specialize in puppy care, as I have taken care of a lot of puppies in my past including my own, and i have experience with Breeding. Puppies require more caring attention, behavior training, potty training, and being shown tricks. They also require more frequent bathroom visits not all the time in the day but especially throughout the night; I am well trained and I have the patience, Discipline & compassion to handle such circumstances. 🛑🛑PLEASE NOTE: For in Home Boarding & Day Care at my home: I currently only accept small & medium pets/breeds under the weight of 35lbs‼️ ✅For walks & check ins; I accept most to all Sizes❇️ Drop offs: DayCare & Boarding: Drop offs Begin at 7am ℹ️ Fees MAY apply for earlier drop offs before 6am Pick ups: DayCare: Before 8pm ℹ️ I will give you an hour grace period. Fees will apply for pick ups after 9pm. Boarding: Pickups are at the same time of the time of the initial drop off date. (Example. If the stay is Mon-Thurs and they were dropped off at 3pm Monday They will need to be picked up by 3 pm Thursday.) ℹ️ Fees are subjected to apply for extended care of boarding exceeding 2+ hours. ❗️ My puppy Holiday rates are different from the default holiday rate, over does not give me an option to set a specific holiday puppy rate as it does with adult dogs *
Reviews
Very nice and caring. Communication was great and my dog was well taken care of!!
Absolutely terrible!!!! She keeps all of the dogs downstairs in “play pens.” She puts the dogs in play pens so small that the dogs don’t even have enough room to walk around or sit down. When I called her to check up on the dogs, she always says she’s upstairs napping or talking to family. When I asked her why she’s not downstairs with the dogs she said it’s because she has anxiety and the dogs barking makes her more anxious. I was extremely upset when I saw the way she was treating my dogs and the other dogs at her house that I picked up my dogs 4 hours after drop off. I was surprised since she had such great reviews but she was absolutely a nightmare. I would NEVER recommend her. She shouldn’t even be on Rover. Very poor screening by Rover.
Haja was an outstanding care provider for our dog. She provided regular updates and pictures. Upon pick-up, my dog seemed in great spirits, and it appeared that Haja provided great care including accounting for my dog’s anxiety usually that occurs in the first few days of my absence. I plan to book again with Haja and highly recommend her.
Horrible experience. Haja takes on far more dogs than she has the time or attention to handle while juggling a full time job and multiple hobbies. When I expressed my concern over this, I was told to be realistic with the type of care my pets received. My dogs were 2 of at least 8 dogs present during their stay. She put them in a fenced 'playpen' that was not secured and could be moved overnight. Before the stay, I stated and she acknowledged that that I had a non-crate trained pandemic pup, and he ended up causing damage to her carpet. My dogs have never been destructive like this, so this was a cause for major concern about the type of care she was able to give my dogs. I was informed in the middle of the night of the damages with a photo of her carpet, and then was sent another photo with significantly more damage to the carpet the next morning. I was told she fell asleep on the couch and then when she found it after waking up in the middle of the night, she was irritated but didn't want to lose sleep over it. She thought they might be fine the rest of the night, so she just went to bed instead of addressing the issue. I had to end the stay early and find other accommodations for my pets after 2 nights of an 8 night stay over the holiday week while I was thousands of miles away. My pup got sick after his stay and has skin missing from his nose from his reaction to stress and digging at the carpet. She says she specializes in small dogs and puppies, that she's well trained and professional. She is none of those things. She is not insured and will expect you to cover any damages that occur while your dogs are in her care. I highly recommend against booking Haja for any pet care needs.

I will send you a detailed list to fill out after your booking request is received. PET PICKUP/DROP OF SERVICE: Provided by my and available anytime: I can pick up & drop your pet back of after Daycare or boarding ❗️(Fee listed is for local pickup & drop offs, Fees are subjected to change depending on distance) PET GROOMING: I am well equipped to provide great grooming service. I especially specialize in long hair breeds (All breeds welcomed). Because VuVu is so tiny & tends to be nervous with strangers, I decided long ago I would do his grooming my self so I bought all the supplies I needed (Shaver, Trimer, nail grinder/nail cutters, a dryer and more). I also have the patience and skill needed to effectively, quickly, and gently wash and dry your fur baby. I spend extra time and care with them while talking to them or singing to them through the process. I can also provide a detangling process for super tangled pets. I once spent 7 hours brushing VuVu out because we went to the beach and I was too lazy to brush him after we got him, big mistake. The next morning he was all tangled up. I took him to two groomers who said the best we could do is cut it down, but I was determined and got it done myself, gently & safely too. Not one bruise in sight. Pick me for your grooming needs. Your baby will leave Clean, Happy, fluffy, and cuter than ever. (is that even possible?!) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby. Have a lovely day.
A typical day
⚠️ A FEW THINGS TO KNOW about my environment & special pet caring skills: ♻️ I work from home & I'm a homebody. ♻️ I ONLY Board & Daycare small breeds ♻️ I have multiple large playpens that are camera & physically supervised to keep your puppies safe and out of things that can harm themselves and my personal items. ♻️ Walks/bathroom 2/3 times a day & backyard play time up 2+ times a day 15+ mins each. If its raining or super cold we tend to just do brief potty walks. Let me know if your pet needs more frequent needs or if they can even wait longer. ♻️ I can indoor pad train as VuVu is & mainly goes indoors. (In the winter time this is preferred for me, but I can accommodate strict outside potty rules) ♻️ I place training pads in multiple areas of the home/their areas. ♻️ I have a medium sized fenced in grassed back yard with also a bigger grassed field behind our home which both provide enough space to run around with our babies with. ♻️ I have a lot of snacks, in all types of flavors & brands from Zukes, Fruitables, Purina, Beggin & etc ♻️ Lots of toys that are perfect for smaller sized breeds. ♻️ Iam athletic so I also run around with them, it makes me happy. ♻️ I prepare a organic home cooked boiled chicken and peas or a variety of other vegetables as a special treat every now and them. (Please Let me know if this is or is NOT ok) ♻️ I have extra feeding & water bowls that are cleaned and sanitized after each use, if you prefer I use your own you are more than welcomed. ♻️ Your pets will have their own sleeping area in the home which is sometimes in my room with me or in a room next to mines, living room, or one of my set up playpen/pet areas that I have a camera in & also physically check frequently and spend time with them during their stay. ♻️Blankets are provided - Please bring your own bedding & blanket if you’d like. I can accommodate any request or special behavior quirks; please do not hesitate to let me know. I normally have them in a play pen in my living room or gated in my dining room area and occasionally in my room with me in the play pen. If your baby is crate trained, it is important to maintain your house/crate training patterns, so please let me know of those and I will follow your patterns. *Please bring their crate with you as most dogs tend to be attached to their own crate and find it difficult to use another’s or go without theirs* The crates will be placed in the living room or doggy zone during the day, and in my room or doggy zone with me during bed time. If your baby tends to be an escape artist (lol) and break out of a play pen or gated area lmk what measures you take to prevent that, if not since I’m working close by I’ll usually tie a long leash on a chair & attach it to their collar or harness so they can still roam the area but not be able to run around the whole house. ✨I work from home & I'm naturally a home body. ✨We normally wake up around 7 AM, in which we have a water break, then potty/morning walk & feeding time. There’s a park in my community and a big grass field behind my home so I take them there a lot or run around in the fields behind my house since it’s more spacious than my backyard. I’ve taught my puppy how to do a few tricks like bark, sit, spin etc. So we practice those often, and I’ll be adding a few more into our routine so I’ll love to teach or continue to practice the same with yours. When I’m working, they are in playpens or their crates comfortably with toys and i frequently check in on them. All around, we truly enjoy our days together.
