Sometimes travel, vacation, or hospitalization necessary. I can help!. KENNELING is VERY STRESSFUL for your fur babies! My goal is that you NEVER have to kennel your pets! Even during the C Virus. I can board one small dog for overnights in my home for as long as you need. I have 10 repeat clients, on and off Rover.com. I can sit multiple furry friends for stays in your home. All breeds and types will lovingly be taken care of. I wash my hands often. I can disinfect your home using 409 and Lysol disinfectant. I will wash your pet's food and water bowls after each use. I scoop cat's litter boxes twice a day. (My rates reflect first time clients. Repeat clients are given a discount.) Please read my entire bio. I'm worth it! Serving South Kansas City, Leawood, Overland Park, Grandview, Belton, Stillwell, Martin City, and surrounding areas. I was married to a Veterinarian for many years. Learned so much about pet care! I worked in his practice, went on emergency calls with him, learned how to pill and inject medications and more. I was an assistant to a professional dog trainer for three years where I learned about lead walking, signs of stress, separation anxiety, ways to calm, and gently correct undesirable behavior through soft tone of of voice and hand signals, also puppy and senior care. I know a great deal about cats too. I've had them too. I've also been a volunteer at Wayside Waifs. EXPERIENCE is a great teacher! My dogs have been extra large and extra small. When I care for your furry friends, I will treat them as if they were my own family. I will adhere to your instructions completely. Feeding, walks, potty breaks, play time and bed time. I normally wake very early. I immediately take all dogs to pee and poop, (one at a time) then get them started with their morning meal. About an hour later we're out for our first walk. Play and nap times usually follow. I keep an eye on them for signs of wanting to potty in the house, "time to go out?" Second walk mid-day, third after evening meal before bed. I send photos and notes daily Having a fenced yard fencrd yard is a BIG PLUS, I will always staiy out with them. I've been a loving, active and compassionate member of my dogs and cats lives and they have been the happyist, most fun and rewarding times of mine. When I come to stay in your home, multiple dogs are fine. Extra large, large, mid-size and smaller are great. I love cats too! For walking, I prefer dogs more on the relaxed side. If it's okay with you, there are many great dog parks, so high energy dogs can be off-lead and burn off excess energy and enjoy socialization with people and other dogs, and have a great time. So much fun! (Providing all shots, flea protection are current) I scoop lcat litter boxes 2x per day,and wash all food bowls after eating. * No aggressive dogs for any of my services please! I'm available nearly all the time, except when I'm booked. I can sit in the comfort of your own home, including house sitting, light cleaning, mail brought in, plants watered, etc. Your dogs and cats will be more at ease in their OWN home. When I leave your home, your pets will be happy, your home will be as clean as I found it, DISINFECTED and everything will be in great shape!. Please bathe your pets during Virus. I'll need to know where your dog and cat supplies are, and how they feel about being brushed and/or bathed. I will need to know their feeding and walking schedules. If you have cats, please show me where their food and litter boxes are, ( l clean litter boxes 2x per day), feeding instructions. Please have plenty of both food and litter on hand. (Where do you deposit litter and poop waste?) Do your dogs like to ride in the car? Sometimes a little road trip with the windows cracked can be a lot of fun! Do you have a fenced yard? A BIG plus for outdoor play and romping around! I NEVER leave your pets unsupervised while out in the fenced yard. For walking the city's sidewalks, parks and trails, I will always have a backpack for water, treats, favorite toys and, of course, poop bags. Your dogs will never be off-lead on walks. I will keep you informed with info and lots of PHOTOS and NOTES of activities every day while you're away. Please keep MESSENGER APPS (personal phone number with your name) provided for me, and a phone number where you, your Veterinarian, an emergency contact can be reached. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! My wish is to develop a long and lasting relationship with you, your dogs and cats. It is very much my goal that you'll NEVER HAVE TO KENNEL YOUR PRECIOUS PETS! We can address any special needs prior to the sitting. I have had senior and special needs dogs. Just leave me their info and instructions. Name and phone of your Vet. SAFETY FIRST!! Lots of love, attention and fun! I look forward to meeting you and you fur babies. Contact me for a meet and greet. I require a meet and greet prior to first engagements because I need to get to know you, your pets, your instructions and needs, how many dogs and cats you have, and examine the surroundings. SIT! STAY!
