Each service is open for revision based on each pet's needs. My #1 goal is making sure your furry family member is happy and cared for. PET SITTING - DROP INS (currently not available) Drop ins are largely tailored to the need and expectations of the owner. I expect to spend 30-60 minutes for each visit. During this time, I will check for any messes the pet may have caused, will show them lots of love and affection if the pet allows me to do so, and will feed them as necessary. With dogs, if permission has been given, I will take on a walk if I feel comfortable doing so. With cats, I will tend to the litter box before leaving. If desired, I would love to also send the pet parent's some pictures of their pets. I know I love receiving pictures of my senior dog, Jasmine, when I'm away from her. DOG WALKING (currently not available except when doing overnight visits) I love being outside, especially with the companionship of a dog. I like to walk for an hour or until the dog becomes tired/needs a break from the heat. For dogs that like to tug, I keep them on short leashes by my side and take breaks for them to sniff in areas that I've confirmed have no safety concerns. I follow each dog's cues as to whether to let them explore longer or continue walking. OVERNIGHT STAYS Depending on the directions of the pet owner, I like to stay in the same room that the pet(s) are in so I can monitor them. I largely pass the time by programming on my computer or playing with the pet(s). For dogs, I ensure they are let outside at regular intervals. I remain outside with the dogs in order to supervise them. Giving the pups an opportunity to go outside is the last thing I do before sleeping and the first thing I do upon waking. If the dog(s) have a lot of energy and I have approval from the owner, I may walk them or play in the yard with them. For cats, I will clean the litter box at least once a day/as needed. BOARDING I am not open to boarding since I have a dog who gets anxious easily.
