Pet care experience
** Please review FAQ below before sending me a booking request. Thank you! ** NEW CLIENTS ONLY: - I require a 15 minute meet-and-greet before boarding/daycare. - TRAIL REQUIRED: If meet-and-greet goes well, I require a one-day/night trail prior to boarding/daycare. The cost will be reduced to half-price of my standard rate. For convenience, we can do the meet-and-greet and trail drop-off same day. NOTE: I crate dogs overnight for the boarding-trail. ** Holiday rate is applicable up to 3 days before and after holiday. Adjustment will be applied after booking request is made. ***************************************************** Boarding/Daycare drop-off & pick-up times: Monday - Friday 8-1:30 pm, 2:30-7 pm Saturday-Sunday: 9-7 pm Daycare up to 5 hours: $40/first dog $25/second dog $35/per puppy *** Exceptions for Daycare - Drop-off must be by 1:30 pm. - Pick-up must be by 7 pm. - Daycare exceeding 5 hours will be charged full-daycare rate. - Daycare exceeding 8 hours OR pick-up past 7 pm will be charged the boarding rate. *************************************************** DISCOUNTS - $5 off/night holiday rate for one-dog bookings for daycare/boarding! - First-time Rover customers get $20 off! Use the following code for your first booking: Code: KITTYR55499 *************************************************** FAQ: - Do you have cats, dogs and/or kids? No to all three! I provide an ideal environment for reactive pups. - Do you accept unspayed and non-neutered dogs? I accept unspayed females that have cycled within the past 4 months. Non-neutered males will wear a belly band inside my home. - What kind of job do you have? I work a flexible WFH full-time job from 9-5 pm M-F. -Do you accept dogs that use pee-pee pads inside? I accept dogs that are 100% house trained. Dogs will be able to go potty in our backyard every 2-4 hours. - Do you accept dogs that aren't crate-trained? I only accept dogs that are crate-trained. A huge 4x3 crate is provided for your convenience! - Do you allow dogs to sleep in your bedroom overnight? New clients will be in a spacious crate with comfy blankets and a white noise machine to help them sleep! Clients that don’t tolerate being crated may be in a baby-gated area instead, but this is on a case-by-case basis depending on the dog’s temperament. I sleep on the second floor of a two-story home, and allow dogs to sleep on the first floor. Dogs with separation-anxiety that require a person to sleep near them will not be a good fit for boarding. In this case, I recommend booking my daycare services. - My dog takes some time to warm-up to strangers. They tends to bark/grimace but won’t bite. Do you accept reactive dogs that do this? I do not accept dogs that have a history of being defensive/reactive to people inside the home and/or walks. Clients that show this behavior on the trail will not be considered for boarding/daycare regardless of history. However, I am willing to accept dog-reactive pets and/or pets that are cautious around people but do not show signs of aggression. -Do you accept dogs that have a history of nipping? I do not accept dogs that have a history of nipping. Dogs that do not have a history of nipping, but nip anyway during the daycare/boarding trail are not eligible for boarding/daycare. - How often are potty breaks? Every 2-4 hours, at least 5 times a day! ***************************************************** WHAT’S INCLUDED: - 75 minutes of activity a day, includes daily walk! A $25/day value - Elevated doggy bed - Purina One dry food - Stuffed Kongs! **I recommend bringing your dog’s food and/or treats to prevent an upset stomach. I stuff Kongs with their softened kibble. ***************************************************** ABOUT ME I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. I have experience with primarily large dogs, having owned a German Shepherd and several Pitbulls. But I can handle pups of all shapes and sizes! I have lived here in Wake Forest for about 2 years now with my husband, and we do not have kids or dogs of our own. We are not quite ready for our forever pup yet, but in the meantime we are committed to caring for your pups and enjoying their companionship!
Reviews
Kitty is awesome! She is the first non family member to care for Coby, and he really enjoyed her company. I know Coby is hard to care for, because he is a big mama’s boy, but Kitty worked with him and found ways to communicate and play games that he enjoyed. She did her best to make Coby feel at home, and kept him on his schedule. Kitty communicated very well and sent me updates with pictures regularly. Thank you Kitty, Coby and I appreciate you!
I cannot recommend Kitty and her husband enough! I do not trust my pup with just anyone and they made sure I had plenty of updates throughout the day and treated her as if she was their own. She absolutely enjoyed her stay with them and I will definitely be booking them again when I need a sitter. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Kitty was great with Max. Seemed like she was either playing with him or walking him all the time !! Great communication with texts and pics/videos. Would certainly use her again.
Kitty came up with great ideas to keep our high energy pup occupied while our other pup was able to get a break. She took them out often and sent lots of updates and pictures! They took walks on the greenway, walks in the neighborhood and enjoyed playtime in the fenced-in backyard. Seeing their pictures made it look like my pups were on a vacation too😊 Both dogs were given a bath and were clean when we picked them up! Kitty was very responsive and we would definitely book again!
