Hello. I understand how important it is to be comfortable with your pet sitter. I have one dog currently, "Ellie" who is a rescued rat terrier mix approximately 5 years old. There are no restrictions about guests getting on furniture or on the bed and I also have a fenced in backyard. Currently, I work about two days a week, so the days off there is much "quality" time. It is important to note that I do require a "Meet-n-Greet" and proof of updated shots and require flea protection. If I leave the house, the guest is crated, but I have a large crate here, so there is no need to bring one unless you want to, of course. Please keep in mind that I need to have a "Meet-n-Greet" before the boarding date to assure that the dogs get along. Except for repeat clients, I adhere to this strictly.
