I am an experienced dog and cat sitter. I've worked with over 100 dogs of all temperaments. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! I have done some dog rehabilitation with behavioral issues and some light training as well as regular walking for clients. I also have extensive experience wth cats of all temperaments. . I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine and grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. I never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I have a wealth of knowledge, experience, tools, and equipment to ensure the best possible stay. I work with pets full time so I am home a majority of the day tending to dogs and their specific needs. During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer and the weather will allow. I wake up early and the first thing I do is take all the dogs out for a 30 minute - 2 hour long walk, before taking those allowed to the dog park. I have an enclosed area in the back that is available for any dog to use. My goal is to eliminate as much chance as possible of escaping, fighting, overheating, fence aggression, and getting into things commonly found in backyards such as trash cans, etc. while also making sure they are fulfilled mentally and physically each day. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible. I have one large kennel in my own room reserved for dogs such as puppies, elderly, or dogs that are only comfortable sleeping in the same room as their owners. When it come to feeding time i make sure that no other dog can try to steal their food be feeding separately or in their kennel/crate, your pet won't eat another pets food which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and it virtually eliminates the possibility for any resource guarding behaviors. I go above and beyond to make sure every dog enjoys their stay in the safest possible manner. I have multiple repeat clients who will tell their dog "Do you wanna go to Naomi’s?!?" and their dog will go into wiggly happy mode. Many will run right into the house when they arrive because they truly love it here. They have someone who understands their nature and fulfills their needs. I also have a sign by the door that requests people text their arrival so that there isn't that high energy response to the door knock that amps up the dogs and makes them anxious and or on guard. The price you see for boarding is a base price for the typical stay, you can upgrade the tier of your pets stay to include grooming (+$25 per dog) as well as pick up and drop off (+$10 round trip) Both are suggested add ons but not required
