I have worked at a doggie daycare for two years, I own a pet photography business, and I also have owned dogs throughout the entirety of my life. I also volunteer at Verona Street weekly, and I work with animal rescues by doing dog photography. I am currently able to offer dog boarding. I have an eight-year-old golden retriever, and a 6 month old golden mix. Both of my dogs are females. I also have experience with administering medications to dogs and basic first-aid with dogs. I will take cute photos of your dogs, of course, since my world revolves around taking dog photos! Due to my job plus volunteering experience, I am confident in my ability to read dog behavior. Important Info: *COVID-19: due to the pandemic, meet and greets will need to happen outdoors. I must require that people where a mask, as I had a thyroid cancer diagnosis during quarantine. Although I have recovered from my surgery, I still have one upcoming treatment in July, and I will need to ensure I’m healthy for this treatment. At a meet and greet for a boarding visit, I will recommend that we meet in my backyard so your dog(s) and my dogs can meet off-leash. We will need to stay a distance apart during this, plus wearing masks. I can send you photos of the interior of my house via Rover for confirmation that my home is dog safe. We can go over socially distant drop-off/pick-up measures after booking. Thank you for being patient during this time! I look forward to going “back to normal” after this all settles down more. I will always suggest a meet and greet so your dog(s) can meet mine! At the meet and greet, please bring up to date vaccines for your dog(s) or send a photo of them to me via message. I have to go to work most days, hours varying (6:30am-early afternoon, 12pm-6pm). Please provide a crate if your dog is normally crated during your work day. While I am at work, I will periodically be checking my pet cam to ensure the safety and comfort of your pup. If your pet is free roam (not destructive & house-trained), they will have free roam in the bedroom. If I work a long day, I will be able to come home and check in & offer a potty break during my lunch break. Please let me know of any medical concerns, behavioral concerns, or quirks as little as they may be. I prefer to make a dog’s experience the absolute best that it can be, and knowing little things about them helps us to understand each other even more! I will be offering a complimentary mini-photoshoot for your dog(s) during their stay.
