⚠️ BOARDING & DAYCARE ⚠️: Due to my apartment setting and work-from-home setup, I only host dogs under 25 lbs, do not bark excessively, and do not have separation anxiety. I only make exceptions for dogs exceeding the weight requirement if they are gentle and low energy. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, my place is best suited for low-medium energy dogs who are fully potty trained and prefer a more peaceful environment. I require dogs to be crate trained for their safety when I can’t supervise them. I can host unneutered male puppies under 6 months old, but any older must be neutered. I require dogs to be up to date on vaccines and flea/tick preventative. My rates are subject to increase for clients requiring a higher degree of care including young puppies, high energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs needing constant care. Unless constant care is pre-disclosed and agreed upon (e.g. for dogs with separation anxiety), I cannot host dogs that loudly and incessantly vocalize (mild, once-in-a-while, controllable occurrences are fine). My place is not cat-proofed so I will not be able to host cats in my home, but I'd be happy to do drop-ins and house sitting for them. HOUSE SITTING/DROP-IN/WALKS: I'm happy to house sit and drop-in for all kinds of animals, particularly those I usually cannot host at my place. Because my work schedule can vary day-to-day, I would appreciate flexibility in the times you want me to come. The difference between walks and drop-ins is that the walk would take the entirety of the time spent. Key pickup and drop off beyond 2 miles from me will be charged $10 each way; I would highly suggest a lockbox. For full-day and overnight house sittings, I would need to bring Pearl along. She's been a very polite and quiet guest and I can keep her separate if need be. I value cleanliness and respect and will strive to leave your home in the same or better condition than I found it. All pets must not have any history of aggression/biting and must not have any contagious illnesses. I require in-person meet and greets for new clients; this is extremely helpful for all of us. Your dog will be acquainted with me and my home and we can see how our dogs get along. I would like to know about your pet's temperament, daily care routine, feeding instructions, favorite activities, any behaviors to look out for, and any other special care instructions. Of course, you’ll be able to ask me any questions you have and make a well-informed decision about trusting me with your beloved pet. Before booking, it would be helpful to have your pet's Rover profile with care details fully filled out. Please pay attention to the pick-up and drop-off times as I will plan my schedule around them and any significant deviance may incur extra care time charges.

My goal is for your pets to feel as close to home as possible by following their daily care routine that they're used to and treating them as family. I will provide love, play sessions, and mental enrichment as well as meeting their daily exercise needs in the expansive natural environment of my complex. They will be taken out as often as needed for potty breaks. Guest dogs as well as Pearl naturally settle into a pattern of playtime/free roam time➡️nap time➡️potty break➡️repeat throughout the day. I’m also happy to keep up with your dog’s regular grooming routine.
