If you’re new to Rover, remember to apply my promo code to your first booking with me for $20 off! ROBINW45690 --- I cannot wait to hang out with your pet - we're going to have so! much! fun! I was born into a home with a menagerie of pets, and I've been (joyfully) surrounded by animals ever since. Never have I ever met an animal I haven't loved, truly! Even if you bite me, I love you. Please don't bite me again, but I do love you. Biting aside...my point is that each animal is unique, special, and deserves endless love and respect. I love cats just as much as I love dogs, by the way. Equal Opportunity Petter. --- **For boarding - When staying with me your pup gets (what I like to consider to be) a boutique doggy hotel and spa experience, like my own dogs’ experience daily. Your pup joins our cozy crew for the entirety of their stay and will be integrated into our routine - lots of walks, treats, toys/fetch/tug-o-war, sleeping on the bed (unless you'd rather they not), full couch and lap access, endless pets and cuddles, the works. Because I have 2 dogs of my own, a meet and greet before accepting new client boarding requests, in-person (this is key), with you and your dog at least a full 24 hours in advance of your dog's stay with me is necessary. We'll both want to be sure our dogs get along and are generally a good fit to stay in close quarters with each other. --- **For walks & check-ins - There is some wiggle room in my per visit/per walk rate depending on how far you are from me and how long it will take me to get to you (i.e. slightly less if we're literal neighbors and slightly more if it'll take me more than 10 min with traffic to drive to you). We'll discuss! After walks I always give a little quality pet time/play time to wrap things up as I know pets get lonely when their people aren't around. I want to leave them in great spirits whenever possible. I'll also refill their food and water bowls, administer any meds, per the owners instructions as needed. No additional $$ necessary for these extra tasks, all a standard part of keeping these angels comfy/happy. For those clients that live in an area of Austin where designated guest and/or free street parking is not available or scarce, we may need to add in the cost of what paid parking is available near you to the booking rate per visit. --- **For doggy daycare - I work from home most days of the week. Because I am watching pups in my apartment home without a yard, we take many walks throughout the day, and usually a long one once a day through the Barton Creek Greenbelt/Zilker Park. Lots of one-on-one attention for your pup guaranteed (versus a doggy daycare facility servicing many dogs all at once). The quieter environment is great for shy or less socialized pups, too. I have 2 small, super chill dogs for your dog to socialize with if/when they want, and a meet and greet with your pup and mine will be necessary to make sure they're a good fit. Lots of toys to play with, treats to eat, and private areas for your pup to nap/have time to themselves when/if they need it.
