Pet care experience

I'm a dog & cat person, don't judge

Don't want them spoiled on my time, then you've picked the wrong person. I've had the same pets for over 16 years but have had pets all my life (50+ years) and wouldn't want to miss a day of our time together, even though they were little homewreckers at times. For your safety and the safety of your pet, all shots need to be updated regularly (my opinion) and if they have a special diet, I can work with that. I am a former Vet Tech and Groomer and I am offering grooming/bathing/nail trim during stay. It's just Trip (14 year old male cat) and me now and we wouldn't mind sharing our home. We definitely have lots of room and plenty of dog parks nearby. In need of a bit of obedience training? I can work that in as well. I do allow pets on my furniture but will work with your preferences. I also have a flexible schedule, nothing is written in stone. Looking forward to meeting with you and your paws ahead of time, to see if we are a good fit. I work part-time with a flexible schedule but would like to meet in advance and before a booking, to see if we, pets and parents are a good fit. Loving, cuddling, plenty of walks and play time. The more information I can get from you about your pet, the better I can adjust to their needs.

Petra did an awesome job with our pups. As this was our first experience together, she came by a couple of times before our scheduled day so that she was totally familiar with Daisy and Chico's routine. She showed great empathy toward Daisy, who experiences great anxiety during rain events. She put the TV on for her in hopes some of the noice would be a bit of distraction. All in all the pups were well cared for, received all medications and seemed generally happy when we returned

Schedule

I do work part-time but there is always plenty of time to still pamper my guests. Stress free is what I aim at, especially for the pet.

Is your pet up-to-date on all shots? No preference in dogs or cats, love them all. They do need to be able to play well with others. Used to be a groomer and Vet Tech many moons ago but I do remember a few things:) I usually return messages fairly quickly unless it's after 9 p.m. and if damages occur during a stay, i.e. eating shoes or excessive peeing and pooping inside the house, there may be an additional charge. I'm also asking for the pet to be updated on their shots and free of fleas. Thanks for understanding.
