PUPPER BLESSING IN A PETLESS HOME
Pet care experience
Before we get to me. . . Your PUPPER VACAY AMENITIES ARE: • 12 Hour Drop-off/Pick Up Time 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM • No Pets in smoke free home • Care for TWO dogs from the SAME FAMILY or iF they know each other or are dog friendly. • Doggie Day Care offered for guests when it doesn't conflict with Boarding Guests. • Spacious play/sniffing yard with curious corners hiding squirrels, chipmunks rabbits • Doggo cooling splish splash pool • Several play outdoor breaks daily • Canine friendly neighbor pals • Soothing, indoor sleeping quarters with pet therapy music playing 24/7 • Sleeping doggo spa couch strategically positioned in front of lookout window for squirrels, birds, rabbits, humans. • Natural home-made sweet potato/peanut butter doggie treats • Indoor play followed up with body, head massages packaged in TLC • Grooming with gentle massage brushing and bathing (if requested or needed) • Daily photo updates with texts to you (yep, they learn to text:) from your puppers ON TO ME. . . • Petless for the first time in 40 years. I lost my beloved German Shepherd and Siamese several years back. I'm now known as the Neighborhood Blessing Biscuit Lady for neighborhood puppers! • My love for dogs and cats began in my childhood and carried over to my adulthood. I rescued dogs off the street when it wasn't popular and worked with Dog Rescues to find Forever Homes. Most called me crazy because I was putting myself through school, had a son to raise and other felines at home. I just couldn't stand seeing dogs forsaken! • This led to my first German Shepherd I rescued off the street....( a heartwarming story) which led to my Beautiful Lab I rescued from a neighbor which led me to volunteering for Pet Placement for ten years (a rescue organization for cats). • Fast forward to my final canine family member, my beautiful German Shepherd I lost prematurely over five years ago due to a rare spinal disease. Yet during that time she was lovingly cared for regarding special needs... no more running, short, very short walks and lots of hot rock massages besides administering her medication. •My other canines lived to be seniors, and were lovingly cared for until they crossed the rainbow bridge. • Bottom line, I know how to care for puppers giving them lots of love while sticking to your home routine... including those with special needs like deafness, blindness, or leg problems. In short, your family member is my temporary family member and guest. •I have a large back yard, buttttt, live next door to chickens. So If your pupper has a prey urge I need to know so we avoid chicken dinners. • If your pooch has high energy I need to know. I can provide short stints in the back yard... sort of like hundred yard dashes with a ball or favorite toy. Water play with the hose is fun too - if your pupper likes jumping into the water. • I do have a pre booking profile I request be completed so I can best ensure your pooch has a happy stay:-) typically completed through Rover's phone app. (Easy peasy) _______________________________________________________ NOTE: All my guests are from Greater St. Louis, MO surrounding areas. Thus, I am unable to board out of town guests as I require an in person meet and greet. Yet, the Good News is, there are plenty of Rover sitters who do and Rover 24/7 Customer Service can help find a sitter who does! ______________________________________________________ • I work from home and have plenty of time for outside/inside play/exercise breaks. I take plenty breaks and love sharing them with my guests. • My pawsome guests love sniffing, exploring my spacious fenced vacay yard stocked with chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits hiding in nooks and crannies. Outside/inside play breaks with favorite toys -mimicking home routines is an itinerary must!
Reviews
Judith is a blessing for your pups! She took the absolute best care of our dog. She keeps you updated with texts and pictures. She is clearly very passionate about animals and it exudes off of her. I’m pretty sure our dog was sad to leave her and come home.
More than a 5 star!
Judith was great to work with from start to finish. She took care of Luna as if she was her own. I would highly recommend Judith. Gary Johnson
Judith is an awesome sitter. Her love and understanding of dogs is very apparent. Being a rescue, my Zoey has some anxiety and trust issues, but quickly bonded with Judith. Loved all of the pics and communication she sent that put me at ease. It was so nice seeing Zoey happy and at ease when I picked her up.

I have a fenced yard with no pets. Your pupper is always supervised in the yard. When needed your pooch is crated (thunderstorms, workers in home or when they want to be) I work from home, so supervision is paramount according to your schedule.

Information Judith C. would like to know about your pet
• First, I request a pre booking phone meeting (about 15-20 min) to collect important information (before the meet/greet) about your pooch through Rover's phone app. This gives you an opportunity to ask me questions while I collect details about your doggo's needs, behaviors, fun preferences and decision to move on to a meet/greet. • Second, we schedule a meet and greet (about 20-30 min) starting with a field trip in the back yard so I can interact with your pooch. During that time we finalize questions/answers and if everyone loves one another we move forward with your pupper's booking. _______________________________________________________________________ NOTE: Your meet and greet should be scheduled 6-10 days before booking which allows ample time for both parties to decide if there is a good fit and if not, allows the pooch parent time to find a Rover sitter who is a better fit. ____________________________________________________________________________ • Third, after a successful meet and greet, it is the responsibility of pooch parents to confirm their pupper's stay. The dates remain open and available until the booking is confirmed with payment through Rover's app. •Friendly reminder. . . I live next door to chickens, and need to know if your pooch has a prey urge so we can avoid unexpected chicken dinners. • I'll also provide information about me to help you feel assured you are in good hands. • DROP-OFF AND PICKUP TIME - 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM 7 days a week.
A typical day
•Activities your pupper enjoys with me are the same as yours, although I'm noted for giving forhead and body massages. When my German Shepherd was diagnosed with a spinal disease, I gave her hot rock massages..... She loved them. • Whether it's tug o war, fetch with a ball or stick, your pupper is gonna have vacay fun. I need to hear what your pooch likes to do and gather that info during a simple phone meeting before the meet & greet. I would also ask you provide your pupper's favorite toy, favorite blanket and food - all reminders of home! • We will have indoor and outdoor activities depending on the weather and your pooch preferences.

Because I work from home I cater to your pooch's routine, needs whether potty breaks, yard dashes, rabbit chasing, toy time, or snooze time. My goal is to mimic your schedule with some pooch spoiling rooted in back rubs and more!
