I would love to watch your pets! I am very passionate about animals and dogs are my favorite. Being a single mom, I can not afford a dog of my own, but I love taking care of other’s pups! My son is 1.5 years old, loves all animals, and knows to be very gentle with them. This is important for you to know, because if your dog or cat is not good with small children, or you are not comfortable with a small child around your pet, I will not be a good match for you. EXPERIENCE: I have 20+ years of personal experience owning 4 different breeds of dogs, but I have >1 year of experience dog sitting other peoples dogs. I am experienced with all types of dogs ranging from puppies to elderly dogs. I am very loving to dogs with special needs such as separation anxiety and special health needs (administering medication). I also know CPR for dogs. I have very little experience with cats, but I am willing to accept them conditionally. PRICING: Dog Walks: $10/30 minutes Day Dog Boarding: $15/day (<12 hours) Day Cat Boarding: $25/day (<12 hours) Overnight Dog Boarding: $25/day (or >12 hours) Overnight Cat Boarding: $35/day (or >12 hours) MULTIPLE PET PRICING: Multiple Dogs: $10/day per dog Multiple Cats: $15/day per cat Cat/Dog Combo: Will be charged for the cat rate plus $10/day extra per dog DOG BOARDING/SITTING: If I am watching your pet at my home during the work week, I can stop home to let your animal out for potty breaks often. Also, during my lunch break, I’ll snuggle your pet and take them for a walk. My house is very pet friendly and I will allow them on my furniture, as long as you are okay with it. Also, if your pet is kennel trained, let me know beforehand and I will be happy to accommodate to your individual needs. I don’t want to start bad habits if your pet is already trained. If you need care for more than 12 hours, you will be charged the overnight rate. Currently have a client who drops off at 6:30AM and picks up at 8PM. Considering my son and I usually go to sleep at 7PM and don’t wake up until 7AM, this is disrupting my personal schedule to accommodate for my clients. I am not comfortable doing overnight at my customer’s houses since I have a child, but I can do multiple daily checkups if you want your pet to stay in your residence for an extended period of time. EXTENDED BOARDING DISCOUNTS: If you need care more than 8 days, I will reduce the price $5 a day. For example: my normal rate is $25 a day for one dog, and I will reduce the price to $20 a day. CAT DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I have a bad experience with cats harming my son. Because of this I will only accept cats conditionally, and I require a meet & greet beforehand. If your cat is fine with small children, they will be free to roam the whole house. If they are not good with children, I will still accept them, but they will be limited to one level (I have a 2 story house). MULTI-ANIMAL DISCLAIMER: If I have been booked for a date, and another owner requests the same date, I will check with the first owner before committing to a second dog or cat. Also, if a dog or cat has already been booked with me, I will only accept the same type of animal for an additional booking (Dogs only with dogs and cats only with cats). I do not want to overwhelm myself with multiple types of animals at one time. The exception to this is if one owner needs me to care for two pets and one is a cat and a dog. I will not make you split up your pet family. SPECIAL NEEDS PETS: If your pet needs additional attention and care please let me know in advance before booking. I want to be fully informed before making a commitment in case I cannot accommodate to your pet. This includes, but is not limited to: food allergies, medications, severe separation anxiety. DAMAGE DISCLAIMER: If your pet stays at my house, I expect accidents to happen. A new environment and a new human can cause additional stress. However, if your pet spoils (poop or pee) my carpet/furniture, I require payment to rent a steam cleaner. If they spoil ONLY the couches, it will be $19.99. If they spoil ONLY carpet, it will be $34.99. If it involves BOTH the carpet and couches, I will charge a flat rate of $34.99. It’s a biohazard to my son who frequently eats food off the ground that he drops. I also want to maintain a clean and healthy environment for other pets. I want to prevent multiple animals from marking their territory in my home. The steam cleaning is non-negotiable and must be agreed on if you book with me. In addition to potty accidents, I expect pets to cause physical damage. If it is a small item that gets ruined (toys, remote, toilet paper), I am extremely forgiving. However, if your pet ruins large or expensive items such as my couches and electronics, I will need to get a quote for the repair. The maximum I will charge for repairs is $200, regardless of the damage. All the damages will be documented and you will be notified immediately. If you cannot afford to pay up front for damages, I am flexible and I am willing to do payment plans with a minimum down payment of $50. If your pet is notorious for ruining items, let me know so I can keep a closer eye on them. SAFETY DISCLAIMER: My son will always be my #1 priority. This being said, I have a no tolerance policy when it comes to your pet harming my child. If your pet bites or scratches my child, the injury will be documented and I will politely ask you to make other arrangements. Exception: my child initiates it (tail or fur pulling) and the pet’s retaliation is a minor injury. My child will never be left alone with your pet. My customers choose me because they trust their animal will be well taken care of and safe. If your pet is aggressive or hurts another animal, you will need to find other arrangements. In addition, if your pet causes an injury to another pet requiring an emergency vet visit, you will be held liable for the vet bills. I will not be held responsible for your pet injuring another owners pet. This is non-negotiable. If your dog has a history of aggression, please donot book with me. I am not willing to put my child or other animal’s safety at risk. I do have an indoor security system that records the common areas. If your pet is injured and I am found to be negligent, I will take full responsibility for your vet bill.
