Hi! Thanks so much for considering me to take care of your furry family member(s)! Below, you will find more details on me and my experience as well as information on my rates. If you have any questions, please feel free to fire a message my way. PLEASE NOTE: My current posted rates for boarding services (excluding my holiday rate) are on promotion from now until June 15, 2026. If your request is after this date, please verify what the rate will be since I base my rates according to demand. Thank you! I look forward to chatting more with you! I've owned dogs for most of my life and have experienced everything from puppyhood to senior doggy care. I have experience with dogs that have required and/or had wheelchairs, diapers, oral medications, eye and ear medications, post-surgery care, paralysis, deafness, blindness, seizures, cancer, skin conditions, special diets, allergic reactions, fear, reactivity, heart conditions, lacerations and broken nails, rescues, escape artists, dogs that try to eat everything, high and low energy dogs, sensitive dogs, ill and well mannered dogs, small to giant dogs, multi-dog families, unsocialized and socialized dogs, and many more. I follow positive reinforcement methodologies and pride myself in being incredibly patient. I will never force a dog in my care to experience anything that could be harmful to them in any way, including psychologically. Having owned dogs with fears and anxieties, I know that helping them through those emotions using positive reinforcement and teaching conditioned emotional responses is the most effective way to help improve their experiences and quality of life. I have had a golden retriever, a beagle, a rescued pitbull/staffordshire terrier cross, and now an Australian Shepherd, all of whom were/are my best friends. I LOOOOOVE dogs and they LOOOOOVE me! From teaching dogs new tricks to going on adventures together outside or just chilling at home, I'm up for every experience with your fur baby! I workout every day outside and would love some furry, four legged, company, so you can rest assured your dog will get the exercise it needs when staying with me. My partner and I are home full time, so we have the flexibility to accommodate your pup's needs. My mother-in-law also lives with us and loves to give the dogs all the love and attention that they need and more! We affectionately call all dogs that stay with us our "niños" (kids in Spanish - we're a bilingual household 😁) and we treat them all like family. I can't wait to meet your best friend and give him or her utmost love, care and attention. Thanks, in advance, for trusting me with your fur baby. ❤️🙏🏼 ------------------- Rates: My rates fluctuate throughout the year depending on demand. When requesting my services, please confirm my rate with me prior to finalizing your booking, especially if you are booking a month or more in advance. Holiday Rates: My holiday rate applies to Rover holidays, as noted in the app, as well as the following non-listed holidays and high demand periods: Family Day Weekend (3rd Monday in February and associated Friday to Sunday) Spring Break (March) National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30th and associated Friday to Sunday of applicable) Rates for intact (non-neutered/non-spayed) dogs: My rates for intact dogs (excluding puppies under the age of 1) are $10 more than my base rates. The reason for this is because dogs that have not been neutered or spayed require extra precautions to be taken to ensure their safety and wellbeing. I have found that it is rarely the intact dog that causes issues but rather the reactions of neutered males to the presence of intact dogs. My space is setup to accommodate for this and therefore, your intact dog will never be put into any unsafe situation. If you would like more information about how I care for your intact fur baby, please don't hesitate to reach out. Drop-off & pickup times: Depending on my schedule at the time, I may be able to accommodate early and late drop-off and pickup times. If you require drop-off or pickup before 7am or after 9:30pm, an extra $15 will apply for each occurrence of early and/or late drop-off/pickup. If the drop-off or pickup times are earlier or later than I can accommodate, please schedule your pup to be dropped off the day/night before and/or picked up a day later. Daycare rates: My posted daycare rates are for services between 7am and 8pm. If you require daycare outside of these hours, an extra $15 will apply for each occurrence of early and/or late drop-off/pickup. In some instances, I will ask for you to book boarding services rather than daycare services if the drop-off or pick-up times are beyond what I can accommodate with my schedule. If the daycare duration is over 10 hours, an extra $10 will apply. Rates for dogs that require extra attention or that have special needs: Depending on the needs of your pup, an extra amount may apply and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Drop-off or pick-up service: The posted rate for me to come pickup and/or drop-off your pup is $50 per round trip. So if I were to pickup and drop-off your pup, it would be $100 for this service unless otherwise agreed upon.
