PLEASE NOTE--- * I book up to 3 months ahead of time .... If you are thinking about 4-5 months and beyond into the future... do check back. • In addition my current guests weigh up to 35 lbs...(.Rover doesn't allow me to customize the weight preference of my guests). • Also all my guests are house trained & crated trained - I crate when 1) I have workers in my home 2) my guests attack vacuum cleaners /brooms or hair dryers (yep it’s all happened) 3) storms/loud noises frighten them and they want a safe space with pooch therapy music playing (it works) 4) when I run an errand (it keeps my guests in a safe space) unless I know them and am assured they won’t get into mischief… 5) they want to sleep in a crate (in that case I don’t lock the crate door) And NOW ON TO YOUR PUP'S VACAY AMENITIES: • 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 • Several play outdoor breaks daily • Canine friendly neighbor pals • Soothing, indoor sleeping quarters with pet therapy music playing soothing your pup to sleep. • Sleeping doggo spa couch strategically positioned in front of lookout window for squirrels, birds, rabbits, humans. • Treats offered per pup parent's permission • 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 pups ON TO ME. . . • Petless for the first time in 40 years. I lost my beloved German Shepherd and Siamese over 10 years ago. • 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 ten 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 pups giving them lots of love while sticking to your home routine... including those with special needs. In short, your family member is my temporary family member and guest. •I have a large back yard, if your pup has a prey urge for other pups on other side of fence I need to know that. • If your pup 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 pup likes jumping in the water. • I do have a pre booking profile I request be completed so I can best ensure your pup 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!
