Availability

Pet care Is my full time job that I absolutely love to do. I can be home with your fur baby every day while they are here. I know Rover gives a drop off and pick up time window. I do have a family and things to do during the day such as doctor appointments and scheduled play time and family outings. I ask that you choose a specific drop off and pick up time in advance and please try your best to keep it. I know things happen and I am open to communicate a different time if needed.

Pet care experience

I have worked in the vet industry, as well as training. My husband is a dog trainer and I have worked along side him the last 7 years. We love dogs and caring for them as well. All breeds, all sizes are welcome! I am a stay at home mother, I can be with your fur babies 24/7. So you never have to worry about them being alone. We do require all dogs be current on rabies, DHPP, Bordatella and flea and tick medications. I have a large yard for your dogs to run and play. We do have a building designed with heating and air so your pets stay comfortable. They will be in a crate for bed time and meal time for their safety. If your dog is not crate trained or not use to being in a crate, they may scratch up their nose a little trying to sniff for a way out. We do everything possible to make them feel comfortable inside the crate.
