*My husband and I keep the Sabbath day on Saturdays. We ask that all drop offs/pickups be done prior to sunset on Friday and after sunset on Saturday. This allows us a time of rest from juggling schedules, we thank you for your understanding and respect in that. * Also a special note: we do take in multiple dogs at a time each day. So if your pup needs to be separated, we can accommodate that as well. We can also team them up with pups they enjoy playing with so everyone is safe and comfy. We are seasoned petsitters and I previously worked at a doggie daycare for a bit of time. I have owned dogs my whole life and our pups have just passed away. I have no problem helping with a pet that has medical needs. I have given meds, shots and have had blind and deaf pups in our care. We have also dealt with dogs that have seizures and have had surgeries. Please just let me know what allergies or medications they have ahead of time, and any additional care instructions would be wonderful. I live in Okolona and have a large fenced yard that is 1/2 acre in which your dog(s) would love to play. Your pup will have lots of playtime and socialization here! If we experience bad weather, then playtime is in the house no problem! I treat the animals that come into my home as my own. We allow our furry guests to sleep with us on the bed at night along with our own. If crate trained we can accommodate that as well. Your pooch will love all the attention it receives from us! Please check out my reviews and repeat clients. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Also, if you book with me, you can book with confidence in knowing that I offer a FULL refund should your plans change. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. This is my full time job at home. I also offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You can drop-off/pick-up as early or late as needed. Only exception is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday as stated above. Last minute changes are often fine with us, we are pretty flexible. What to expect on your first visit: Typically we allow new dogs to run around the house while others are in the bedroom. This allows any new dogs to be able to get used to and know their environment. They will go outside by themselves to check that out as well. Usually, after new dogs check out their environment and are more relaxed, they will get to meet another pup. If they seem like they will get along, then we let out any additional pups one dog out at a time. This helps keep the energy down so no chaos. I do use crates for eating times and when we need to leave. If your pup is ok being left out we don't mind doing that either. Just depends on how the pup does being left out without supervision. I let all dogs out to go potty about every 2-4hrs during the day, typically a few times through the night as well, the last potty time is 10pm then bedtime. I get up at 5am. If your dog needs an additional potty time please let me know. If your dog isn't potty trained, let me know. I can work with him/her while they are here. I do the praise method; giving treats when they go outside. Usually having them go out more often to prevent accidents in the home. My golden retriever was a senior (16), our other pup was 11yrs old as well so if your dog is older that is fine. We have dealt with the old age, blind and seizures with our own pups before they went to doggy heaven. We get lots of puppies so we are accustomed to the chewing and potty training quite a bit! Thank you for looking at our page and we look forward to caring for your fur baby! *Please feel free to bring your pups food as a change in their diet may cause diarrhea. I do have food if you forget. Also if your pup has a favorite blanket or pillow feel free to bring that as well.
