We’ve been dog sitting over 10 years, we’ve got our system down to an science. Interested in booking? Send a request. We will request a meet and greet to go over your pet(s) care plan. If it’s a mutual fit, we accept the booking, and you firm up with Rover on payment. Please pack: food, collar, leash, meds/supplements. Upon arrival, we walk your pup(s) or head outside, send a picture and update within the first hour. Settling in: depending on your pup(s) we allow them to explore on their own or with friends. We aim for two walks a day including the off leash dog park in town (not Spring Lake.) Food- whether it’s just a couple of scoops of dry dog food or… 1/2 a scoop of dry food, 1/4 cup of wet food, topped with dog sprinkles, probiotic powders, a sardine, a teaspoon of organic meat, and a prayer…we’ve done it all. Just tell us and we will follow it :) Meds- we will follow the schedule given, and have cheese, peanut butter, pill pockets, and meat for the pups that need a little more enticing. Sleeping- depends on your pup. We only accept house broken dogs who do not mark (we also have belly bands in the rare event they do.) I’m generally dogs may sleep in the living room or the spare room. Occasionally, we have had pups who prefer to sleep in our rooms. And for those that are crate trained, we had additional crates as well. Updates- for newer clients we aim for an update about 10 am on how their night and morning went. The again by 9 pm on how their day and evening went. For frequent visitors or longer stays, unless otherwise requested, we usually just do a once a day updates. Please do not pack: crates, bedding, blankets, bowls, or anything invaluable.
