Pawsitively Pet Sitting & Boarding

For as long as I can remember, I have always had an innate love for all dogs, big or small, and the feeling was always returned. I grew up with two Bichon Frises, Summer and Rosie. While you are away, I send daily photos and updates for extra peace of mind. I want your time away from home to be worry free. I believe that personal, one-one-one time is essential for the well being of all animals. While I am with your animal/s, strict adherence to daily routines will be followed to allow for an easy transition once in my care. If any emergencies should arise, I am extremely communicative and will try to reach you to rectify the situation. If you are not available, I will call your required emergency contact until the issue is resolved. I am also always available in the event you need to reach me, and will always keep you updated the whole step of the way. Before a booking is accepted, I offer a free meet and greet to ensure that all parties are acquainted and that everyone gets along. I will not accept a booking without first conducting a meet and greet, as this is essential to the safety and care of all parties involved. I look forward to taking care of your dog and making new friends :).

Sam did an awesome job caring for our pup and keeping in contact with us while we were gone. He takes her to work with him so we know she is getting lots of attention through the day! Thank you!

Sam was a great dog sitter! He watched our small dog for 4 overnights and we are so thankful he did! He followed all instructions and sent a bunch of a photos daily which was amazing! He’s super communicative and seemed to really care for our dog. His apartment complex has a ton of grass outside perfect for potty breaks/walks and he took our little guy to work with him everyday. This was our first rover experience so I was a little nervous but Sam exceeded our expectations and we will definitely book with him again in the future! ?

Schedule

I’m currently working at a veterinarian hospital. I’m allowed to bring your dog into work with me. I’d take them out every 2 hours for a potty break. I work 4 days a week. **VERY IMPORTANT** Due to recent changes at work, I'm no longer allowed to keep your dog in the front with me. They would be in a kennel, but I would take them out many times during the day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Sam can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I work at a veterinarian clinic and would ask your dog is up to date on vaccinations. Please have Bordetella, influenza, rabies and DHPP. I want to watch dogs that are friendly with other dogs, love people and is potty trained. Does your dog mind being in a kennel? **MUST BE KENNEL TRAINED and NO SEPERATION ANXIETY** I would like to know if the dog has a history of biting and if so, how serious, if they're potty trained, shy or timid, any sort of food allergies, able to go off leash or not, if they're fixed or not, up to date on shots ex. rabies, treated for heart worm and kennel trained. I would also like to know if there is a history of separation anxiety or destructive tendencies, how long your dog is used to being alone, and if medication needs to be administered, or if they have any special needs that I may need to be aware of. I also have no breed preferences. All dogs are welcome!
