Pet care experience

Home away from home!

I am a mom and I work from home so am able to offer a lot of extra attention. I have been in business doing Rover for 6 years and have cared for animals through other services prior to that. I have experience in taking care of all animals (even equine) and can make sure to cater to your fur baby’s needs. Experience includes Medication, supplements, diet, handicap, or food and allergy needs. We are huge dog (animal) lovers, and will make sure your baby feels like a member of the family during their stay. They will gets plenty of walks and exercise as well as lots of cuddles and love! I keep in regular contact for peace of mind with daily updates and photos. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

My dogs stayed from June 20-27, I booked Melissa so they could be close to us on vacation. The dogs were returned with missing fur and scabbed irritated elbows and Bentley had open spot on his bottom. This is from being left on cement! When questioned she denies having any cement! I have pictures of back patio from realtor listing and feel they were kept outside in 90 degree heat. They were dehydrated with diarrhea as well. Their feeding regimen was not followed either. My dogs are 12.5 and 5 and this care could have been detrimental!! Please be careful booking and know she has all the excuses and lies!!! We of course will not return and this has been reported!

I work from home so I have the ability to offer extra care and attention. Our day will consist of play time, walks, and cuddles. Whatever schedule you have we try to stick to so it’s something familiar to your baby.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard. I have no rules about furniture so often times they get up and snuggle with the kids at night or wherever they are comfortable. We make sure they have walks and plenty of playtime too. I work from home so sticking to a schedule and giving extra attention is not an issue.

A typical day

We go on daily walks, we play inside and outside, sometimes we watch tv while I work on my laptop as I work from home and of course lots of snuggles and attention. I always send photos for peace of mind

Please let me know what schedule you have for your baby in your home so I can keep them on a schedule they are used to. Let me know if there are any special needs (medications allergies etc) that your baby has and what some of their favorite things are.
