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 we currently have two dogs and a cat. I have no problem helping with a pet that has medical needs, please just let me know what allergies or medications they have ahead of time. 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. 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. I do not work outside the home. I offer pet care on a full-time basis. I also offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You can drop-off/pick-up as early or late as needed. Last minute changes are often fine with us, we are pretty flexible. The only day that I am out for a bit is on Saturdays for church. What to expect on your first visit: Typically we allow new dogs to run around the house while ours are in the bedroom with the baby gate up. 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 they sniff our dogs through the baby gate. If they seem like they will get along, then we let one dog out at a time. This helps keep the energy down so no chaos. Once our first dog gets acquainted and all is well then our other dog comes out. If we are not home, our dogs are kept separate from the new dog depending on how they all get along. I can do a crate but typically we just have the dogs in separate rooms no crate unless needed. I let all dogs out to go potty about every 2-4hrs during the day, typically a few times through the night as well. We do have a cat, she keeps to herself. She likes being outdoors and having her space. If your dog doesn't do well with cats (which we have had dogs here that didn't) we just need to know ahead of time. She likes being outside so she will be ok and that won't be an issue for us. Our puppies eat once a day (their choice) but we do double the food so if they decide to eat later on they can. I know everyone's pets are different so we can accommodate different eating schedules. We have flea collars on all but one dog who has some skin allergies, so we use a pet friendly spray for him. All of our pets are spayed and neutered. 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 is a senior (15), our other pup is 11yrs old as well so if your dog is older that is fine. 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.
