Pampered Pooches Wanted

Pet care experience

Update: In February we loss our beloved pooch. He was amazing and we will miss him dearly. *We are accepting new clients * Meet and Greets for new stays mandatory. Please no last-minute request. Unfortunately, we cannot accept last-minute requests from new clients. I want to send a big THANK YOU to all of our clients!! We are über excited about how much our business has grown! We could not have done it without and you kind reviews! Please leave a review! We love to hear from you! First and foremost I am a dog lover! Cats are cool but I am a doggy gal. I love to see that wagging tail and excited face when I walk in the door. We all do! But sometimes I take a trip and I worry about the safety and security of my baby. Still, I think pets should never feel abandon, neglected and left alone or with someone who does not know how to properly care from them. I have pet sat for various friend and family member over the past 15 years. While your pet is with me he/she is in loving caring hands and will be treated as family. While I could never replace your parenting style I would like to make sure I am pretty close. That is why I require a a lot of information from pet owners. Be prepared for a 15- 20 minute conversation. :) I am a spouse of a Air Force Veteran, an Army Mom, a social worker and mother of three (including my hairy son ) LGBTQ affirming family. My family has had our dog for 17 years now he has traveled with us to various destination in the U.S. I love to travel! But my fur baby not so much ? He enjoys playing fetch, running freely, snuggling up and lots of TLC. Yes, he is very spoiled. What to expect: Your dog will go on 2-4 walks a day along with photo and video updates about their stay. Each dog gets a massage once a day and one on one time with me. A brief meet and greet is strongly suggested prior to pet sitting start date. We take the dogs to visit local dog parks to run around and play. Please let us know if you don't want your dog to visit the dog park. Please bring any beds and toys, crates, medications, grooming tools, shampoo etc, for your dog to help him/her adjust to the new environment. I live in a townhouse so I am able to care for large or giant dogs in my home. Our first floor is relatively empty so the dogs have room to sniff around and relax. Dogs that stay for 5 days or more are bathed (free of charge) if needed. Sometimes we play hard and get dirty. :) Please bring shampoo if you do not want us to use ours. I cannot sit dogs that are not house trained, leash trained, in heat, aggressive, do not get along with other dogs, are not up to date on vaccines and are not on fleas and tick preventives. Repeat customers receive discounts! Please help us grow our business by leaving a review after your pets stay. We love what we do and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to caring for your furbaby

Truffle had a great time with Rukaya! We did a pre-meet at the park, and she asked great questions to help her understand Truffle, and understand how he might interact with her other canine guests. Throughout his stay, she sent us pictures and video to let us know he was doing well. Highly recommend Rukaya!

I loved having Rukaya as Momo’s sitter. He had lots of friends to play with during his stay and he was given a lot of time to play.

A typical day

About Me: I am an active, friendly, and pet-pampering city chic living in the 'burbs. Growing up my grandparents raised Pomeranian and Rottweiler (Weird mix? I know!) I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! Me, I have always had an affinity for dogs. I wish I could have more but for now I will settle for dog sitting. It is a fun way to earn money and be around animals I adore. What kind of dog do you have? I have a spoiled Yorkshire Terrier that I have had now for 8 years. I absolutely adore my "little monkey". Fun fact, he loves to eat cucumbers. My little monkey is very playful and loves to go for long walks with his dad. He loves to snuggle in smalls place and will cuddle with you any chance he gets!. He gets along well with other pets after the initial " hey who are you?" but he doesn't do well with small children. Do you crate? I do not own a crate or cage since I never had to crate my little one. However, if crating if something you prefer I have experience with crating and can crate your baby as requested. I provide 2 daily walks, outdoor play ,indoor cuddle time & can administer medication ( if needed). When your love bug is with me you may receive daily photo updates( if desired) Dogs may be walked with my dog or separate depending or needs and preference. I'd love to welcome you snuggle buddy into our home or come to yours depending on your to ensure there is no gap in loving and hugging for your furry baby!
