24/7 Small Pup care in my home
Pet care experience
NOTICE: A Meet and Greet is required at least one day in advance of any services I provide. No large breed dogs. I'm only capable of taking care of small dogs. Hi! My name is June & I have over 50 years of pet care experience that I provide in my clean, dog-friendly home. I am retired from the corporate world so I am home all day to provide 24/7 under care to pups under 35 pounds. As long as you let me know the times you need, You can drop off as early as 7:00 am & pick up as late as 10:00 pm. Just let me know in the booking. Stuck @ work or out of town & need pup care? No problem. I’ll come to pick up your pup/pups. Our guest dogs must be spayed/neutered. If your dog is not house-trained, please let me know upfront so we can be prepared for that. We have a doggie door, but I also take all the dogs out every hour or so to make sure everyone has a chance to do their business. We have security gates, playpens, and kennels (dogs are only kenneled at night if they will not use a doggie door to potty). My husband and I also volunteer with Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston. We have 2 Miniature Schnauzers so we work with families of small dogs. We usually keep 4 guest dogs and have the occasional schnauzer foster if it's been fully vetted. Pets are required to have the following: *Required vaccinations DPP Bordetella Rabies *In addition to vaccinations, all dogs must be on a heartworm preventative and flea and tick prevention to qualify for my boarding services. If you have chosen me as your pets caregiver, you can bring the following items at drop off: Food Treats Medicine We provide everything else. Thank you in advance for trusting us with your precious babies.
Reviews
Penny Lane, our poodle mix, had such a good time during her overnight stay. We had no worries or concerns and knew all would be well. Thank you, June!
Great Sitter
June is amazing with our dogs! She watches all of them and is attentive to their high needs. Our senior citizen is set in his ways and the younger ones need lots of attention. We highly recommend her for anyone with beloved fur babies!
From the initial "Meet & Greet" we knew Penny Lane would be happy staying with June for the week-end. We received photos and even a video of her activities with status updates. Considering Penny Lane is very curious and a little on the anxious side, we were somewhat nervous about leaving her, unsure how she would adjust to a new environment. Thankfully, we picked up a happy (although glad to be in familiar surroundings) fur child. We will definitely let others know about June and of Rover, and will book with June again.
About June M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our fence is only a few years old and has a padlock on the gate. We also have a gate across the entry. There are no children in the home. Our environment is tailored to dogs. We have lots of dog beds in rooms we hang out in and kennels in our bedroom for the night. If your pup will use the doggie door and not potty in my house, they do not have to be kennelled unless they like sleeping in one.
Home
Information June M. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog house trained, and if so, what is his/her signal that they need to go out? Where do they sleep at night? Does your pup have any physical limitations? (Deaf/Blind) We are in a one-story house so stairs are not an issue.
A typical day
Breakfast is usually at 7:30 am and then we go outside. We go out a lot throughout the day. The dogs lounge around and follow me around the house. I usually spend time throwing toys for them if they like to play. We have TONS of toys in a toy chest in the study. Sometimes the dogs will play together and that is my favorite. I can usually get cute videos for the pup parents if the dogs play together.

Availability
My daily routine revolves around dogs. Mine and yours. I look forward every day to hanging out with pups. My schedule is very flexible so I change it to fit the dog's needs.
