24-7 TLC @ The Canine CareBnB

Pet care experience

>>>> Find me & my pack of pals on Instagram! @CanineCareBnB <<<<< DMs welcome! Caring for dogs is my profession and my passion. I have over 20 years of experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Exercise, interactive play and socialization are customary in my home. I treat all dogs entrusted to me with endearing attention and encouragement. Senior dogs are my specialty, and have a gigantic place in my heart and my history. I have expertise in: administering injectable, oral and topical medication, ensuring a hazard-free setting, lifting and carrying pets over stairs and off furniture, and making accommodations due to vision and hearing impairment. I also have experience caring for dogs with allergies and special diets, anxiety, mobility restrictions, PTSD, epilepsy, and behavioral challenges. ABOUT MY "CAREBNB" +Our calm, spacious Piedmont single-family home has a pleasant indoor/outdoor environment and fully fenced backyard. The dog-friendly setting features multiple spaces dedicated to interactive play as well as quiet downtime. +Two adults (myself & spouse) and one male yorkiepoo Odys ("Otis") comprise the household. We're proud that our pup Odys is accustomed to all sorts of dog guests and serves as a trusty buddy. +I am present and engaged with guest dogs 100% of the time. Dogs are lovingly supervised at all times. **Caring for pets is my only job and my sole focus every day.** I aim to relieve your worries and ensure your pet is healthy, safe, and happy in your absence. If you're interested in whether I'm a good match for your family, please get in touch! I'll work with you to address your needs and be sure you and your pet are comfortable. I accept booking requests on a case-by-case basis, and screen guest dogs to ensure safety and quality of care. Please don’t hesitate to message me to begin a discussion and schedule a meet and greet in advance of the service dates. *Be sure to specify in your message a day & time you & your dog are available for a "Meet-and-Greet." Whether the booking is for my home or yours, an initial visit to get acquainted is something that I require. ~~~~~~~~~~~ ***** At this time I cannot take puppies under 2 years old for boarding or daycare. (The daycare is currently a haven for a small clique of adult/senior dogs who are irritable to “puppy energy.”) ******* I CAN care for puppies under 2 years old, and pets of any age, in their own homes, although advance planning time is key. **** I cannot book a new dog client for boarding in my home until we have had a meet-and-greet/playdate and ample time to get acquainted. Your dog getting acclimated to the environment and their dynamic with the small group of dogs here is instrumental in making sure I can keep everyone cozy, safe, healthy, and happy. ***** I require proof that your pup is up to date on vaccinations as well as their vet-provided flea and tick prevention regimen. + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Maura truly cares about dogs and is knowledgeable. I have a rescue dog with terrible separation anxiety, so I’ve been trying out all different methods to help me avoid leaving him alone for more than he can handle right now. It was my first time ever using doggy daycare. Maura literally sent me constant pics and videos all day and was very reassuring. She went above and beyond to help us. She’s selective and smart about which dogs will be a fit for her home, her dog and the other dogs who she frequently cares for. She spent an hour on the phone with me prior to our meet and greet! Cannot recommend her enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced, pet-safe backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood. I go above and beyond to take all necessary precautions to keep your pet 1) safe 2) comfortable 3) healthy and 4) happy. This applies to an equal extent when I care for pets in their own home environments. I am focused on your pet: their safety, comfort, and care — maintaining their ordinary routine but providing extra affection in your absence.

Questions that may help me customize care for your dog: -- Your dog's age, personality, how long you've been together. -- Medical conditions, food allergies, health restrictions, mobility issues, past injuries? -- Daily routine, including times for walks, meals, and medications. -- Is your dog frequently anxious, shy, or boisterous? -- What commands or key words do you use? Any behavior are you working to correct? -- Types of toys or treats that are off limits (stuffed toys, types of chews, etc) -- Your dog's previous experience going to day care or boarding, & any feedback received. -- Your dog's comfort level and background socializing with 1-2 other dogs. -- Types of animals or people that may cause your dog anxiety (i.e., squirrels, skateboarders, tiny humans, postal/delivery folks). -- History of behavior like guarding, herding, chasing, persistent barking, whining, digging, begging, hiding, chewing, soiling, obsessing -- and the circumstances you think are connected to it. -- Status with housebreaking / incontinence and how you are managing it. -- Age-related changes you've noticed, or any new behavior I can watch out for. -- How you communicate with your dog, what is comforting to them, and anything else that can help me provide the same tender loving care your dog receives at home.
