Woof's Home Away From Home

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! PLEASE READ BELOW IN DETAILS 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!!!

This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience! My dog, Toby, was well taken care of and loved. Lourdes sent pics and updates daily and is very responsive with communication. I highly recommend them! I will most certainly be using them in the future when I travel.

Lourdes took great care of our baby. She sent updates and pictures. She even responded quickly when I would message to check up on him. He got to play with other dogs and even made a a new friend.

Introduction of Doggy Friendly Pups To Others --------------------------------------- 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. We currently have four doggies and a cat of our own, see below for their pics. We also have a baby- under 1 yr (but we don't allow her or the cat to be with your furbabies. The baby is in her playpen or bedroom). When it comes to introduce your baby to the other babies, we do introductions between the doggos slowly 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 ---------------- We dont do meet in greets with owners for many reasons. A few being our pups don't like strangers in our home and my mother is currently staying with us while she is doing her chemotherapy so we have to keep human traffic to a minimum due to her low immunity system because of the medicine (you will not be able to come inside our home). For meet and greet process between the pups, see above under introduction with friendly pups. Supervision ------------- The furbabies will 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, same day. Constant Pottying Indoors --------------------------------------- If your pup is not potty trained, your stay fee will be $45 a night instead of the regular day/night fee of $35. This helps us keep the environment clean and hygienic for all the pups. Even if you provide potty pads/diapers we still have to freshen the area they potty with cleaning supplies, water usage, bathe if needed and sprays to stop marking or disinfect areas where there was feces. If you arent willing to pay the extra fee and your pet continues to soil areas inside the house within 24 hours of their stay, you will have to pick them up immediately, same day. If your pet damages furniture. 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.
