Hello and welcome to our Rover Page! I am Jerica and my partner Mickey and I would LOVE to host your pet during your next get away. A little about us: Mickey and I are experienced passions dog owners, who love our 4 dogs to pieces. We have a 10 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback, 3 year old Toy Aussie, 3 year old Beagle Mix, and a year old poodle mix. I have been a foster parent for local shelter pets since 2008. I have fostered well over 250 dogs in my home. I have had dogs of all sizes and temperaments in the home and can work with your dog’s quirks just fine. Mickey has come into the fold back in January and hit the ground running with me boarding dogs. He is learning how to read body language and ques to help assure you dog is happy, healthy and stress free during their visit with us. We live in a quiet neighborhood in Hutto across the street from a park with a great walking trail. We attempt to walk to dogs each morning around the trail in groups to assure everyone get some personal attention and interaction, along with constructive exercise. We do crate dogs in our home for both our safety and theirs, throughout the day for quiet time, feedings and at night for sleeping. With years of experience in working with dog behaviorist and trainers, I have learned the art of downtime is key to keeping everyone safe. We don’t push relationships between dogs in the house. I currently work away from the home 2 days a week (Monday and Thursday) from 8-5pm. I do also step away from the home during the day for drop in visits, meetings, and other activities to help our clients. Mickey has a completely remote schedule and home every day. Depending on weather and dogs we have an open door policy. The back door is left open when we are in the living room hanging out for dogs to come in and out as they please. We don’t do this during the heat of the summer or extremely cold days in the winter. Those days we just do frequent outside times. We keep a large stash of chew toys, stuffies and puzzle toys around chewers to keep out of trouble. Our spacious backyard has “gone to the dogs” complete with a kiddie pool and toys to play outside. We are excited to welcome your family member into our home and can’t wait to build another client relationship!
