Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being matter deeply to me. To make sure every pet in my care feels safe, relaxed, and truly at ease: • A meet-and-greet is required so your pet can get familiar with me in a calm, low-pressure way • Vaccination records and flea prevention are required to protect everyone’s health • I thoughtfully assess temperament and compatibility to maintain a peaceful, stress-free environment 🤍 SIZE, SAFETY & HOME FIT 🤍 To keep my home calm, manageable, and safe for every pet, I’m best suited for small to medium-sized dogs, with around 30 lbs as my general comfort range. This allows me to provide the close attention, structure, and gentle handling that are central to my care style. 🤍 FIT & BEHAVIORAL REQUIREMENTS 🤍 Your pet’s safety—and the safety of every animal in my care—is my top priority. Because I live in a dog-populated community and share my home with a cat, I am only able to accept dogs that are well-socialized and behaviorally stable in public and home environments. To ensure a safe and peaceful stay, I do not accept dogs who: • Lunge, growl, or fixate on other dogs while on leash • Require complete avoidance of other dogs in public • Attempt to chase, confront, or approach other animals • Have a history of escaping harnesses/collars when triggered • Show aggression toward cats or small animals 🩷🤍 Even if your dog is sweet at home, they must be able to remain calm, manageable, and under control when encountering other animals or people at a distance. 🩷🤍 🤍 CAT-INCLUSIVE HOME REQUIREMENT 🤍 Because I have a resident cat, all dogs must be: • Calm around cats • Non-chasing • Able to coexist safely without fixation or stress I use barriers for slow introductions, along with thoughtful separation and close supervision, to maintain a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. 🩷🤍 Honesty about your dog’s behavior is essential. It helps me determine if my home is the right fit—and protects your pet, my cat, and every animal in my care. If your dog requires a highly controlled, trigger-free environment, I may not be the best fit—and that’s okay. I want every dog to be placed in the environment where they can succeed. 🩷🤍 🤍 SAFETY & EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 🤍 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. To ensure I can fully support them—even in unexpected situations—I ask that: • A backup emergency contact is listed on your pet’s profile • Your preferred veterinarian’s information is provided 🩷🤍 If you’ll be traveling or may be difficult to reach, I also recommend having a payment method on file with your vet. This allows me to act quickly and ensures your pet can receive care without delay if it’s ever needed. I hope to never need this—but I believe in being prepared so your pet is always protected. 🩷🤍 🤍 PHOTOS, VIDEOS, & UPDATES 🤍 One thing you can always expect from me is lots of photos and videos. I’m very intentional about keeping pet parents updated, and I take pride in making sure you feel connected to your pet while you’re away. In fact, every booking I’ve had has included consistent photo and video updates—it’s a standard I hold myself to. That’s also why my camera roll is very full (mostly of your adorable pets). I love capturing the little moments—the zoomies, the cuddles, the kitty cameos, the happy walks, and the “I’m not supposed to be on the couch but here I am” looks—and I share some of these moments on my social pages as part of growing my business. • No personal information is ever shared • Just your pet being their adorable, unique self • Lots of sweet, fun, and personality-filled moments If you’d prefer that your pet is not featured, just let me know—no problem at all. But if you’re open to it…don’t be surprised if your pet becomes a little star 🤍
