Pet care experience

We have been taking care of all types of babies of different sizes and breeds, from canines to felines, since we started Rover & even before then, total pet care is 10+ years. On Rover alone we have taken care of 500+ doggies alone, this number doesn't count the number of babies we have taken care off of Rover. We don't judge a specific breed, we love all pups! All breeds welcome! Every dog in our eyes is a baby that deserves all the love in the world ❤ At the end of the day, this is our house and not a Kennel so we want them to relax and have lots of fun just like they would at home! Side Note: We Do Not Provide Grooming Services of any kind. PLEASE READ BELOW IN SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT TAB, FOR OUR BOARDING/DAYCARE PROCESS. VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE BOOKING WITH US. WE ASK THAT YOU RESPECT OUR HOME BY AGREEING TO OUR STIPULATIONS BELOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

We had a wonderful time on our little vacation and our dogs had just as good as a time on theirs. Normally the dogs cry and whine that they miss us. They have other dogs there and they just keep your dogs Don't even realize you're gone. And on top of that our car broke down. We have to get that fixed and we were able to make it home late at night but they were more than willing to drop the dogs off to us. Can't beat that service. Would recommend to anybody who loves their furry kids like we do..

Lourdes was WONDERFUL! My 2 pups were never away from me since I had them, about 11months. Lourdes took great care of them! She sent me many photos and updates everyday. I will definitely bring my pups back next time I need a sitter. Thank you Lourdes for everything!

Sleepovers (Boarding), Daycares In Our Home & Drop In Visits, Walks in Your Home ------------------------------ Please be advised, we are currently not taking care of kitties, pups that are 8 years or older, have heart conditions, seizures, epileptic, diabetic, etc. in our home. We offer drop in visits in your home as a secondary option though! Drop In visits are also perfect for pups with social anxiety or babies that just don't want to leave home. If you need more than one visit in the day then we can work on a discounted price for that plus additional pet fee will be waived ❤️ we can only do visits & walks in your home are within 10 miles from us as our cars are older and can't take the long drives as well as they used to. At drop in visits/walks we make sure they have pottied, play & have food/water before we leave at every visit/walk. Introduction of Doggy Friendly Pups To Others --------------------------------------- We NEVER introduce doggies at drop off day or when people our pups don't know are inside our home, so please don't just open doors in our homes to force our pups and your pups to meet. Please respect our home while you are here dropping off your baby! We only accept 1 to 2 doggies from Rover at any given time, unless they are more than 2 from the same family. At that time, we will only care for one family at a time. When it comes to introduce your baby to the other furbabies, we do introductions between the doggos slowly once every pup is calm and relaxed, using the pet gates inside the house and either at the end of the day on drop-off or on the second day of their stay, depending how stressed they are about being in a new place. We like to let the new babies roam about and get used to their new surroundings so they can get comfy before introducing to the others. Also we like using the pet gates because we are able to see who they'd rather hang out with and pair them with the friends they pick themselves and vice versa with the other pups! Though we never put energetic dogs with calm dogs, so no one gets overwhelmed, and every baby can enjoy their stay. Same goes for senior doggies and puppies, they are automatically seperated by temperament. Pictures ------------- We send pics one to twice a day during your pups stay, so you can see your babies having fun or relaxing with the the other furbabies. People & Animal Aggressive Pups ---------------------- We do not take doggies that have aggression towards people, dogs, or other animals. We are not professional trained to deal with doggies with aggression so we won't be risking anybodys safety. Please be honest and let us know if they have a history of biting people, Animals or reactiveness towards people or Animals, if you aren't honest with us and your pup tries to bite us or the other furbabies we will have you guys pick them up same day. Meet & Greets ---------------- Meet ups are not required for bookings under 2 weeks but we can do a meet up if you like! We do still require you to send us a same day video of your pup though. Anything over 2 weeks requires a meet up before booking to see your pups temperament & physical health. The meet spot location is at the Local Lake Lisa Park, this is a public park where there are children, adults & other doggies. All pups have to be leashed at this park, there's a sidewalk that all pups can be walked through. WE DO NOT DO MEET & GREETS WITH OUR OWN PUPS, IT WILL JUST BE US TO MEET YOUR FUR BABIES. If your booking is last minute, you will have to send us same day video of your pup before the booking. We do not do meet and greets here in our home nor will you be able to meet our pups either. A few reasons being our pups don't know how to behave with people they dont know, they are very chaotic with their loud barking and jumping on people, we don't want this to cause stress or freak out your pup as their first time experience being in our home. With time and experience, we have noticed the furbabies do better this way, especially newcomers. For meet and greet process between the pups, see above under introduction with friendly pups. Once again, you will not be able to meet our dogs, they do not do good with people they dont know. Please don't try to force your way into our home to see our dogs, please respect our house rules for everyone's safety and comfortability! Supervision ------------- The furbabies will be walked in the fenced yard on leash. We are with the pups when they are together with other pups, when we can't supervise, they will be seperated with the baby gates in different parts of the house. Sick or Injured Furbabies ---------------------- For the safety of the other pups in our care, we do not take care of pups showings signs of sickness or injury: including throwing up, diarrhea, rashes, wounds, etc. We are not medical professionals and do not know exactly what your pet might have or provide accurate wound care, so we cannot risk the health of the pups. If your pup has any of these symptoms within 24 hours of their stay, you will have to pick them up immediately, either by you, someone you know or transferred to the care of their own vet that you will have to contact and set a appt for. Rover emergency hotline will also be contacted immediately as well! Damages to Property/Seperation Anxiety ---------------------------------- We do not take care of pups with seperation Anxiety, if your baby cannot be alone for 1 to 2 hrs at any given time, without damaging property or especially hurting themselves, then you will have to pick them up immediately, same day. You will also be liable for any damages your pup does to our property.

Information Lourdes G. would like to know about your pet

Requirements for Your Baby's Stay ------------------------------- All i require is your pup to be on flea preventative and we also recently started requiring to have either a screenshot picture or physical paper showing your pup has a clean health record. Said record cannot be older than a year, must be current for this year. If your baby is still young and hasn't gotten much done in shots or whatnot, that is totally understandable. What we are looking for is more along the lines of them having a exam showing they are healthy! We also need you to bring the food for the entirety of the time your baby will be here and a message on here or printed out paper with instructions of how much food to be given plus any specific times they eat, if that applies to them. Also if they have any special diet/allergies, medicines they are taking and how to give it to them, please add that as well. Other than that you can just bring whatever else you would like your baby to have during the sleepover ❤️ Please keep in mind we can not babysit any pups that are sick, especially if it something that can be transferred to other pups. We currently aren't taking pups that are over 8 years old, have heart conditions, epileptic, diabetic, etc. here in our home but we can do drop in visits in your home for your baby. Please see above under "SLEEPOVER & DAYCARE" For more detail information. If your pup shows any signs of sickness, like coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. they will have to be picked up same day either by you, someone you know or transferred to another sitter and Rover emergency hotline will be contacted immediately as well. This also applies for pups that dont want to eat for more than 2 days, we understand sometimes they can be picky eaters or anxious about being in a new place and won't eat because of that normally but if it starts becoming a issue Rover will be contact as well as yourself to plan on what to do next with said baby.

A typical day

Here in our home, we let the pups out to potty in our fenced in area or around the neighborhood, games, tv time, napping, eating & whatever else your baby would like to do on their mini vacation! Here they can be themselves to their hearts content ❤ they will be in a home environment, not a kennel caged up all day!
