Pet care experience

I love having dogs around at my home and getting to hang out with them! My husky puppy, Haku, loves meeting new dog friends and playing with them. He is also friendly with cats. I've had at least 1 cat ever since I was a kid, so I'm very experienced with cat care. I love them dearly! I've been doing business through Rover since 2018, and I have loved every minute of it! I have met many different animals and their humans throughout this time. I have learned so much and love sharing my knowledge with clients and fellow pet lovers! I have been caring for animals all my life including dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, birds, etc. I have experience giving dogs and cats pills and oral medication. I also know how to inject insulin.

Jason is amazing with my dog Roxy. He sends me pictures throughout the day shows me progress she’s made. We’re just so thankful we found Jason to watch over our little Roxy.

I have a large, open space inside my home for the pups I board and host daycare to run around, wrestle, and have the time of their lives! I have a beautiful yard with a 40"(3-foot) fence, so they will always have somewhere to potty.

Information Jason W. would like to know about your pet

My community does not allow for any extreme, excessive barking. The type of barking that just won't stop. Please get in touch with me if you are unsure. **I require that your dog be dog-friendly as I allow all dogs in my care to play with each other.** Other things that I want to know(and will ask about during meet and greet): - Escape risk - When/how much food to give - Kennel trained - Any allergies, medications (current/recent past), and medical conditions (current/recent past) - Destructive with anything? ie: shoes, remotes, plants, furniture... - Potty trained - Who is their vet - Are they cat-friendly - Fully vaccinated and flea and tick prevention - Any toy/food aggression? (or any other aggression)

A typical day

I have a ton of stuff-able Kong toys, treats, and other non-plush toys that dogs can enjoy during their stay. The dogs in my care can play and wrestle with each other inside. If the weather is nice, we will play outside as well.

Availability

I do Rover full time and I pride myself on being very flexible! I understand many dogs have routines, and I'd do my best to keep to their schedule and yours as close as possible. This could also include any dog rules they may have such as sitting at the door or staying off the furniture.
