Upon receiving your request for service; I prefer to discuss the criteria that needs to be met as well as the needs of your dog over the phone and then meet in person to see if we are a good fit. The phone call is preliminary to the meet and greet to ensure we cover all bases for your pet’s comfort and happiness. It is the first step into making sure it’s a good fit for everyone. It is crucial that I'm aware of any special needs, preferences, or routines your pet has. Understanding these details in advance allows me to provide the most personalized and attentive care possible, ensuring your pet's stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as it can be. Examples of pertinent information; - Up-to-date on vaccination records? - Details about flea and tick medication (when it was last applied and when the next dose is due). - Instructions for any medications. - Feeding schedule and portion sizes. - Any treats and how frequently they can be given. - Foods to avoid or any known food allergies. - General temperament and behavior with other pets and people. - Any fears or things that cause anxiety (e.g., thunderstorms, loud noises). - Any behavioral issues or quirks. - Favorite activities and toys. - Any restrictions on physical activity due to health issues. - Daily routine, including walk times and duration. - Sleep preferences and bedtime routine. - Any specific commands or cues the pet knows. - How the pet behaves on a leash and during walks. - Preferences for social interactions with other animals and people. - Preferred veterinary clinic and emergency contact information in case you cannot be reached. Meet & Greets: - Meet & Greets are complimentary and a courtesy. Time management is vital to the planning of my day so please prepare accordingly to arrive on time. Appointment will be cancelled if failure to arrive surpasses 15 minutes from scheduled time. Boarding/Daycare: - Will accept pets up to 25 pounds. - Strict screening process; will not accept every pet; to be clear, it does not mean that your pet is not a good dog; just not the right fit for the environment of my home. I love all dogs! =) - Pets must be on flea and tick medication unless under 7 months of age. - Pets must arrive clean and free from fleas and ticks. - An extra $15/day fee may apply for un-neutered adult males if mounting or marking becomes a theme during their stay. - Pets that stay for more than 7 days will require a bath, as walks and trips to the doggy park will be an every day occurrence. I appreciate clean pups and a clean house. - Pick up for boarding should be no later than 12pm. Additional day care fee will be applied for pickup that is beyond 12pm. - Cut-off time for pickups is 9pm. -Day care covers up to 8 hours; please contact for further details.

A typical day for a dog under my care is structured around a blend of exercise, playtime, and relaxation to ensure they're happy, healthy, and engaged. Early morning walks in the quiet neighborhood to stretch their legs and stimulate their senses, interaction whether it's indoor play or cuddle time, tailored to the dog's energy level and personality. Throughout the day, there are plenty of potty breaks and one-on-one attention to meet their needs and keep them feeling loved.
