Thanks for considering us to care for your small dog. You can be sure that he/she will be treated like a part of our family and will be loved and well cared for while you are away from home. We LOVE dogs. I sing and talk to pups that have separation anxiety and have found that helps them warm up to me and ease their worries. I will send you lots of pictures and videos. We are available to set up FaceTime so you can see and talk to your pup while away. ***I prefer weekend drop offs and pick ups between 8am to 10am or 6pm to 10pm. Weekdays are flexible.*** *All dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea preventive. Please provide proof of vaccinations either with a hard copy or a photo through email.* *All dogs must be non aggressive. No exceptions.* I am home much of the time during the week. My husband has a quiet home office. Dogs are welcome to come and go from my husband’s office if they want a quiet break or a change of scenery. Dogs can go outside in our fenced backyard for potty breaks as often as they would like. I generally let them outside, regardless, every 2 hours. We have a fully fenced backyard so they get to run, sniff, and explore off leash. They will be supervised by an adult during backyard fun time. We have a variety of fun dog toys and treats. You are welcome to bring your pup's favorite toys or lovies but we can provide those if you forget or would prefer not to. Our home is 2400 square feet. The downstairs is mostly hardwood floors with rugs and the living room is carpeted. They have full access downstairs. They are welcomed on furniture and there are plenty of nooks and crannies for nap time. My husband or I will be home most of the time to care for your pet. We are usually gone no more than 3 hours. Please send me a message with any questions or concerns and thank you for considering our family to care for your pet! ***If my profile shows that I am unavailable or booked during your needed dates, please message me. I may have an opening.*** ***Independently insured through Pet Sitters Associates***
