I have always had a dog (or more) my whole life and believe life isn't complete without at least one dog by your side :) I have been dogsitting for 20 years and have been grooming dogs for 15 years. I can empathize with the feelings of nervousness when leaving your dog, but rest assured, I welcome your fur baby with open arms! Our house is definitely dog friendly with a large yard for the dogs to play if they wish! Our first and foremost concern is that your pet is safe and happy. For this reason, we do recommend that you have treated your furry baby with a flea and tick preventative such as Frontline, K9 Advantix, or Bravecto. While we have not had an issue with the above mentioned critters, we do have our yard treated regularly with a pet-safe product as well as have our personal babies treated with Bravecto as a preventative. Also, because there are a fair number of fur kids who come visit, we recommend that your dog be current on all vaccinations, including Bordatella. *A strong recommendation is that your dog be vaccinated against Lepto (Leptospirosis). We just want the best for your pup as well as our own furry-children :) We want your fur baby to have an amazing experience at our home, so please feel free to bring blankets or bedding from home as this will help to comfort them. We encourage you to let us know if you think there's anything that we can do to help provide that feeling of comfort and we are happy to accommodate! We look forward to meeting you and your furry child (or children). Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions! Please no messages after 9 pm.. we are early birds 🐾🐾
