Thanks for checking into my profile! I currently work full time as licensed optician at a local optometrist office here in Knoxville. I work Monday-Friday typically from 8-5:30 and I’m off on the weekends. My husband, Levi, was medically discharged from the Army in 2020. He then went to UTs Culinary Program afterwards and he typically works from 6 AM-3:30. He is always willing to help me out with any animal if I’m feeling under the weather. I love doing Rover as a side job to make some extra income for our family. We have a toddler son, Oliver, who was born September 2022. I am also expecting our second child, a daughter, this August 2024. This has been a particularly difficult pregnancy so far, so there have been days my husband has helped me out if I’m very sick. I typically do more dog walks/drop ins than boarding. On the weekends, my son will more than likely be with me for any drop ins or walks. I either wear him in a carrier or push him in the stroller. Because of this, I can’t handle any rough dogs or dogs that aren’t leash trained well. If we are boarding your dog in our home, first and foremost your animal is a guest here. Your animal MUST get along well with our son and dog. Unfortunately since my husband and I work, your animal would have to be crated while we’re not home during the day, and as long as they’re well behaved they can roam freely while we’re home. I don’t like to leave animals in crates but if they’re not adjusting well to my dog or child or destroying my home, they will have to stay in the crate more often. We do require meet and greets before booking any boarding stay. I also require current proof of vaccinations/flea and tick treatment.
