During quarantine I struggled with losing out on my local volunteering position at Animal Control’s adoption facility. As a volunteer I was able to spend many hours each week getting to know new animal friends. Aside from simple walks I was proud to give plenty of baths and special support for dogs who needed more attention or emotional support in such a strange and scary setting. I love animals dearly and will always stop to say hello to new dog friends. Since Covid I strive to offer safe and healthy service to those who may need an extra hand with their animals, whether it be because of travel or work. I provide pet care full-time, seven days a week. I'm in and out of the house throughout the day providing walks and drop in visits with Rover clients, returning home between services to give attention to any animals boarding at my home. I live in a condo right off the Columbia Association walking paths. I have an XL dog crate in my home for guests, we always crate when leaving the home to ensure your dog is safe and sound when alone. My furniture is pet friendly so any couch potatoes are welcome. Walks: For the safety of pets I shorten walks at my discretion when the heat index is over 85 degrees. House sitting: The house sitting rate includes a 10 hour overnight stay in the home from 9 PM to 7AM. Any additional time required to care for the pets would need to be booked separately as drop in visits. This is most likely to be needed as mid day walks/potty breaks and dinnertime meals or medications. Do to other existing clientele needs I am unable to provide constant 24 hour care in any home. Boarding: Includes 24 hours in my home per paid night. If pickup is scheduled more than 2 hours after the initial drop off time on the last day you will be charged an extended stay rate of 50% of one night. All dogs must be crate trained as I will crate whenever I leave the home and reserve the option of crating overnight. This is for the safety of your pets, my pets, and my home.
