In a nut-shell: I am a stay at home mom. I have an almost 3 year old son and 3 bull-terriers. We bred our 2 bull terriers. The female had a singleton litter so we had to keep her! Rhea joined our pack 2 months ago and she's a handful! It's like a baby all over again. All 4 of them love to run around and play and make friends. We love going on walks when the weather is nice. I decided to start working for Rover again since I have a lot of free time. My husband works overnights, so don't worry- the baby will not be coming with me to check in on your pets. Your pet will have my undivided attention. We are a dog loving family and hope to start a kennel in the near future. Extended Profile: I am a mother of a 1 year old boy, and 2 bull-terriers ("the Target dog"). Anyone that knows me knows how much I love my family; dogs are family too! I treat every dog that enters my home with equal respect. As a protective mother I know how important it is to choose the right sitter (for your babies & fur-babies). I send pictures periodically during the stay to show you how much fun they are having. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I can keep up with the energy of a small puppy and also nap with the elderly dogs. I have no problem helping potty train your pup. I am very patient. I even have extra pee pads, poop bags and reward treats. I have experience with medications both oral and injection. With that being said, I have experience watching dogs with diabetes (insulin injections) and other health issues such as GERD in cats & dogs (oral liquid or tablet medications). I keep my home clean. Having a puppy AND toddler I know how important it is to not have anything within their reach. I never have to wonder what's in their mouth! I have plenty of space in and outside my home for the dogs to play and get their exercise. I take them out on frequent walks. Typically, we go out every couple of hours. Please let me know if there are any bathroom cues your dog may have. What do they do when it's time to go? Are there any phrases that make them know "it's okay, go potty?" My large backyard is fenced in. My son has been around dogs his entire life. He LOVES his puppy siblings. Of course I'm cautious with him around new dogs. He will be separated from the guest-dogs. Please let me know how your dog is around children. I like to only have 1 client at a time. Multiple dogs from the same family or friends are considered. Please let me know ahead of time how your dog plays with others. I have 2 crates (1 large, 1 medium) if needed. I have gated areas in my home as well. I offer bathing if you'd like to add it on to your pups stay. Bring your own soap or use ours. I'll send your pup home squeaky clean. I don't mind picking up or dropping off your dog(s) if needed. I charge $10 round-trip unless it is under a 10 minute drive. Please let me know how your dog is in a vehicle. I like to bring the dogs to parks if allowed by the owner and if the weather cooperates. Dog Boarding is typically drop off after 5pm. Pick-up before noon. Of course there are exceptions. I may have to charge for an additional daycare if you plan on picking your pooch up after noon. It is not fair to the other dogs that need daycare. If I have to decline a daycare stay due to your dog still in my care, I will have to charge you for daycare. This will be established and agreed upon before booking the stay so there wont be any surprises. Unless of course you unexpectedly have to extend your stay. I am flexible for the most part and can usually accommodate. Forgot to pack something for your dog? Was your flight cancelled and you didn't pack enough food? No worries, I usually don't mind going out and buying the items as long as I am reimbursed. I understand life happens. I went out at 11:30pm to buy rice and eggs to cook for someone's dog who didn't want to eat. If that's not love.... =)
