I have owned dogs since early childhood, with experience ranging from miniature dachshunds to Great Danes! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I live in a side-by-side duplex in a fantastic neighborhood for walks and have a fully fenced in backyard. As a work-from-home mom I have full availability to keep up with frequent potty breaks for the little pups as well. What I provide when dog sitting/boarding in my home: -a safe, clean and comfortable "home away from home" -independent boarding insurance through Pet Care Insurance -lots of love and belly scratches -frequent trips outdoors -mental stimulation and playtime -a large, fully fenced in backyard -supervised outdoor time -dog treats, including frozen Kongs in all sizes (please let me know if your dog(s) have any dietary restrictions) -dog toys, including lick mats for separation anxiety -neighborhood walks (if your dog enjoys) -dog bowls and filtered water -photos and updates during your dog's stay What I ask that you provide when dropping off your dog: -dog food for the duration of your dog's stay -leash -harness (if applicable) -crate and bedding (if applicable) -a favorite blanket or toy for comfort -any medications or supplements -updated Rover care instructions, including emergency vet info. I have an 11 year old son who is fantastic with dogs and has been raised around dogs of all sizes, including giant breeds. He's always ready for some belly scratching and dog snuggling. I also have one siamese cat who is very easy-going and comfortable with dogs. If you're using Rover for the first time please feel free to ask me about my discount code before booking! -Please note that I charge the "puppy rate" for senior dogs 11+ -There is a $10 fee for pickup times after 7pm. Your dog will get lots of one-on-one attention at my house that they wouldn't receive at a kennel. Because I work from home I am almost always available to give your dog the comfort, love and attention they deserve. My yard is fully fenced in and all outdoor time is supervised. Because my fence is only 3 feet tall in some areas I am more than willing to keep your dog on a lead while outdoors if necessary. When sitting multiple dogs from different households, I provide separate areas for meal time to keep stress at a minimum. If your dog requires solo-sitting (doesn't get along well with other dogs) let me know in advance and I will do my best to work with you and book your dog alone.
