Good day and welcome!

Pet care experience

Thank you for your interest in booking with me for your pet care needs 💜 I offer boarding for cats and dogs, daycare and drop-ins throughout the year. I do have specific requests prior to booking so please read below: IMPORTANT: THERE IS A 7 DAY CANCELLATION POLICY. IF YOU NEED TO MODIFY OR CANCEL A BOOKING PLEASE DO SO 7 DAYS BEFORE THE BOOKING STARTS. IT IS STATED ON THE REQUEST ON THE BOTTOM THAT THERE IS A 7 DAY CANCELLATION POLICY. I have this in place because when you book me I don’t reserve any other clients during the times you reserve me and so when I’m cancelled within 7 days I am often asked to waive the cancellation penalty and I cannot. This is put in place to compensate for the time and days I’m unable to book anyone else. 1. I DO NOT give discounts. My normal rate is $55 per 24 hours. My puppy and senior dog rate is $65 for 24 hours. And during holidays it increases by $10. 2. I DO NOT give discounts for long-term care. Rover takes a percentage of my earnings. 3. I offer pick up and drop off for a fee. The fee is a one-time fee and it covers both ways. Please add it to the request if you require that service. Thank you! 4. IMPORTANT: Please provide pick up and drop off times as accurate as possible. I normally make plans after a boarding is finished (whether it’s personal or another dog or cat is on the way). If you believe that your flight might be delayed or not sure at what time you’re going to be able to pick up your pet kindly set a pick up time that covers that timeframe accordingly. 5. I am open to meet and greets! Just let me know what times and days work for you and where you would like to meet and I’ll also check my planner. I DO NOT hold meet and greets in my home as requested by my landlord and neighbors. I can hold meet and greets outside my building however! 6. Please provide me with care instructions, allergies/medications, schedules etc. that way I may provide the best care possible for your pet 💜 7. Please disclose behaviors and/or behavioral issues. Does your dog have anxiety? Can he or she be left alone for at least two hours? Does your pet have a trigger or past trauma? Does your pet get into things in the home or during walks? Is your dog or cat aggressive? Do they get along with other animals, children, men? Safety is my number one priority when it comes to hosting pets for all parties involved 💜 8. Please provide all supplies that your pet will need during my care to make his or her stay comfy. I do have dog beds, bowls, toys etc but feel free to provide whatever you’d like. The one main thing I do not provide is food! Every doggy has their own dietary restrictions so to avoid issues with their tummies please provide what they eat at home. Thank you 😊 9. Let me know how many updates you’d like me to send you daily. That way it’s not underwhelming or overwhelming. Whatever works for you works for me! 10. Please provide an emergency contact and vet information in the event of any occurrence or just for backup. 11. If you request a service but do not wish to proceed please let me know within three days of submitting your request. My dates are immediately blocked when you make a request; therefore, no one else is able to book me if the request isn’t confirmed or archived and my profile immediately goes into “away mode” until the request has been answered. I kindly ask you for courtesy as this is my living, income. Thank you for your courtesy and understanding. After one day I will decline your request and if you wish to proceed at a later time then feel free to submit a new request. I cannot hold dates. 12. If you’d doggy has severe anxiety please let me know so we can determine if we are a good fit for your pet and their needs. While there is always someone at home, I do step out with my son 4 days a week to take him to his karate lessons in the late afternoon/early evening (depending on the day) for about one hour to one hour and a half (with commute). Thank you! Any questions feel free to include them in your request and I will answer everything for you. I thank you for taking the time to read my profile and I hope that I can be of assistance. Have a great day 💜

Safety, trust & environment

All doors to the outside are closed at all times. Our building also has two doors to the entrance. For cats, we keep our windows especially closed. We also have a gate that separates the living room and the kitchen so when we are cooking and eating the gate is to keep the dog/s in the living room area in order to prevent them from eating anything that might fall on the ground. Dogs are truly easy to manage when it comes to safety as they tend to be obedient and I’m able to entertain them easily. However, with cats as we know get into everything, on everything and it’s much difficult to know what they do overnight since they are free spirits 🤪 Nonetheless, I do my best to ensure the safety of everyone, your pets and my family. Please read the Rover Guarantee for further details.

Information Jessica A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know everything I need to know about your pet. Medications? Walks? Routines? Dog park? Kid-friendly? Dog-friendly? Feeding times? Allergies? Likes? Dislikes? Or simply give me your routine itinerary. I’d be super happy to schedule a meet and greet in-person or via video chat. I looked forward to meeting you and reading about your pet. Feel free to reach out at your convenience!

A typical day

If you’re comfortable with me taking your fur baby to the dog park I’ll make the drive there and let your fur baby do zoomies as long as your dog is comfortable around other dogs. Indoors I love to pet them, to keep them happy with belly rubs or hold them close to me. Whatever their go to is I’m always willing. I love to give them pup cups or just simply let them chill and lounge if that’s what pleases them.
