Things to note: 1. Meet and greets are required for new clients before booking a stay. 2. If you are a new client and want to book for a week or more, I prefer to do a one night trial run to make sure it is a good fit. 3. During the school year, I work full time and will be out of the house for about 8.5 hours. If I need to be gone longer, I will have another sitter come to the house to give the dogs a potty break. Also, when working, during the week I can only schedule drop offs and pick ups for after 5 pm. 4. On weekends and during the summer, I sometimes take day trips, so dogs must be comfortable with me being gone for up to 8 hours. If it is longer than that, I will schedule a visit with a dog walker to let them outside for a potty break. 5. When I am out of the house, dogs must be comfortable being placed in a crate or placed in the kitchen with a baby gate. For the safety of your pets and mine, I do not usually leave guest dogs out when I am not home.
