When your pet comes to our home they will be treated just like at your home! We do allow pets on our furniture but if your pet is more comfortable sleeping in their crate or own bed, we will get them all set up in a place that makes them happy. If your pet needs a slow introduction we have a special room set up downstairs that we have used for fosters that need more space, so they can relax away from our personal pets. It is completely finished and climate controlled with a private door to our fenced backyard. For drop-in care at your home, I will let your pet out to use the bathroom (whether in the yard or on a short walk), check that their food and water dishes are maintained and full, play with the dog(s) for a short while, and clean up any messes that they might have made. If you choose in home care while you are away, I generally come by twice a day and spent about 45 minutes with your pets. This is a very rough estimate, because I believe that every animal deserves the best care for them. For some pets that might be playing for an hour and for other's it might mean they are happier being left alone. If you are out of town, I can also water your plants and bring in your mail if you'd like. I focus on tailoring my services to what each family and pet needs to make them feel at home.
