In my home you can expect your pet to be cared for in a fun, safe, relaxing, and spacious area to roam in! // DOGS // OUTSIDE: Nestled in a cul-de-sac, you can expect your dog to be safely protected from cars when playing in the front yard. It is also a relatively quiet street with the occasional dog or walker passing through, so they won't ever be bothered if your dog prefers quality time in a peaceful space that's their own! INSIDE: Indoors, you can expect your dog to be greeted by four additional pet-loving members of my family: my parents and my brothers. We LOVE having pets around and welcome any who walk into the door as if they're family! Additionally inside the house, is a spacious and quiet environment. You can expect your dog to have a stress-free and relaxing place to stay while here with lots of attentive care by myself (and love by my family). On top of that, they have the freedom to roam wherever they please with little to no restrictions on where they can go, so they won't ever need to be quarantined to a specific part of the house unless requested to by you the owner! SCHEDULES & CARE: Since I work from home, you can expect your dog to be under my watchful care and supervision all day long! FEEDING: I am regimented in feeding your dog at the specific given times provided, and the specific amounts they're allowed to eat. Specialized diets and food restrictions are also considered here! If your dog is not allowed certain foods, or must eat a certain prepared diet, you can expect me to adhere to those rules to ensure your dog is supervised and cared for under those conditions! WALKING: Expect them to be walked three times a day (or as many times as required for their schedule) in rain or shine and at varying distances (depending on their size and what's needed) ensuring that they get to do both parts of their bathroom business, have plenty of time to sniff and explore, and get enough exercise to provide happiness and personal enrichment! ATTENTATIVE WALKING CARE: For dogs that need special care when it comes to walking-- say they're anxious or don't like to be around other dogs, children, people-- you can rest assured that they will be kept at a safe, and respectable distance while being closely monitored to judge their reaction and temperament, and be safely maneuvered if ever encountered. If they are best walked in areas where they encounter little to no other dogs then careful route planning will be set in place to do so. Whatever considerations are necessary for your dog, know they will be treated with the utmost care and patience! ADDITIONAL WALKING/OUTSIDE CARE: I also like to ensure that your dog gets the opportunity to experience fun places to visit such as a park, or a visit to a lake, so they're not solely confined to one routine area. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CATS REQUEST: please bring their litter box, litter, & litter scooper as I do not own one! INDOORS: If your cat stays here, you can be assured that they will have a safe, quiet, and stress-free environment to call their own! They are most welcomed to stay in a private room where they can take all the time that's needed to be acclimated and accustomed to the house and new environment. There are no other animals that live in this house, so they will never be disturbed here. Only my family lives here to whom of which are very open and loving to any pets that walk through our doors. If they like to play with toys, I'll make sure they are given plenty of time and hours in my day to have this enrichment. You can expect them to be well-monitored, cared for, and loved while here! They are also welcome to explore different parts of the house as long as they aren't destructive! FEEDING: Once again you can expect your cat to be fed at regimented scheduled times provided by the owner. Special dietary restrictions are considered and can be set in place if needed to ensure your cat stay happy and healthy while here. LITTER BOX: a LITTER BOX, LITTER, and SCOOPER are a MUST to be provided as I do not own any here. PLEASE make sure this is accounted for during their stay here! ADDITIONAL CARE: if your cat requires any specialized care, please do let me know! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT YOUR HOUSE: REQUEST: A list with care instructions, walking times, pet habits/things to know is greatly appreciated for this!! Any and all care provided at your house will be met with a strict adherence to the rules you set in place for when I enter and leave your house! I make it my absolute priority that you feel comfortable with me in your home and that when you return, it will be left exactly as you had it. WALKING & FEEDING: I can ensure your pets are both fed with the proper amounts of food needed for them, and that your dog(s) is(are) walked three time a day, or for however many times is needed for their schedule. Cats will have their litter box cleaned out 2-3 times a day (or however often needed) too. ADDITIONAL CARE: Again, any special care that is needed for your pet such as a preference to avoid other people, dogs, or children while out on walks because your dog gets anxious or defensive, a senior dog that needs more time on walks, a dog that prefers to wear a rain coat or booties, etc. can and will be considered upon request! Just make sure to inform me what these needs are.
