I have a very large backyard for lots of playtime and exercise. I DO NOT offer walking. I board multiple dogs with a maximum of 5 spaces per day. Please check my calendar for availability. Drop off and pickup times are from 7:30 a.m - 6:00 p.m. This are scheduled in advance as soon as booking is finalized. Please take this into consideration when scheduling a new booking. I require all customers dropping off their dogs to text me thru the Rover app once they arrive and to have their dog(s) leashed. No refunds/credit for early pickup. I schedule a meet and greet for new customers and their pets. A meet and greet is very important to determine if this is a good fit for both parties. About this sitter: I am retired so this is my full time job. I initially started out as a petsitter for my friends and family and later decided to focus on this work fulltime. Unlike a kennel, your dogs will not be in an enclosed cage unless the owner specifies it and requires their dog to be in their own personal crate. I leave it open and give the dog the option to get out of their crate when they feel like it. They will roam free and run around my very spacious fenced in yard. They are free to sleep anywhere in the house, including the couch except the bed. This is their "home away from home" and will be treated like a member of the family. The basic duties include feeding, oral medication when necessary and lots of playtime. Petsitting is not just a job - it's a great way to bond with the animals and give them the love and attention they need while their owners are away. Comfort, lots of TLC and safety is a priority! My own personal experiences with all my pets since childhood is testimony to my love for animals. I feel very comfortable taking care of their everyday needs, administering oral medication when necessary and playing with them in my spacious backyard and experiencing the pleasure of seeing them have a great time playing with other dogs or chasing the squirrels! Why I love dog sitting I grew up with multiple dogs since I was a child. We always had pets and they were just part of the family growing up. Taking care of their daily needs and spending some quality playtime with them just comes natural. About my yard I have a very large fenced in backyard. This is a secure fenced in backyard with lots of room for dogs to run around and get their proper exercise. I DO NOT offer walking as part of my service. My backyard is their "dog park" ! My experience administering medication I have administered oral medication with my own personal pets and my other clients when necessary. Please note that I do not administer vaccinations. The daily schedule would start with feeding time at 7 a.m. for breakfast. Dinner time is at 4:00 p.m. They are all fed separately. If a dog does not eat, I will feed him/her an hour later. Fresh water is always available outdoors/indoors. Lots of playtime and snacks are provided mid day/afternoon. We do a lot of playtime in my backyard. This is captured thru videos and pictures and sent to the owners daily. For added security, I also put a couple of dog gates by the front door for anyone coming in or leaving the house so no pet can escape accidentally.
