I need to know ahead of time if they have any sort of health concern, physical ailment, and their level of socialization around people and animals. I also need to know how long they can go between visits during the daytime. For all pets I would also appreciate having general vaccine information so I can make sure I take them to appropriate environments. This is especially important for puppies and dogs under the age of 2. I can also administer medications so any of those required I need to know of.

It’s my opinion that dogs need both mental and physical stimulation to have a fulfilled day. Such activities include walks to local parks or play areas, allowing the pet to smell and possibly interact on leash with other dogs (with both owners explicit permission), and stimulating toys and treats at home such as puzzles or hidden treats With me, you can be rest assured that they will be in the best hands. For longer scheduled days/overnights, dogs will be let out to go to the bathroom every 45-60 minutes, have plenty of play time and be given lots of hands on attention. They will also have access to fresh water and food - following owner instructions. For cats, they will have their litter box checked and/or cleaned every 1-2 hours. They will also have access to toys, fresh food and clean water. For rodents/rabbits that stay in kennels or cages, they will always have fresh water, fresh food (pellets, veggies, etc) as well as clean bedding material. Unless they have a medical necessity, these pets will be mostly done on a drop-in basis 2-3 times a day. I also offer at-home nail trims for cats and dogs that are okay with being handled and held. Those would be on a cash/direct payment basis and prices would vary based on the size and temperament of the pet(s). I also offer drop-in appointments to give medications for more independent animals
