** I will be ceasing my Rover activities effective August 20. My profile will remain live until then as I finish up some final boarding and walking stays. Thank you so much to all of my wonderful clients that I have gotten to know and love over the last two years! You all have been amazing, and I will miss all of you very much! I have multiple years experience working in a dog kennel and as a groomer's assistant, and I have watched other people's dogs for the last ten years or so. That's not to mention the years of experience I have had with my own dogs! Requirements for Boarders: -- All dogs prone to destructive tendencies when left alone need to be crate trained. -- All dogs must be potty trained -- All dogs must be social with fellow canines and also people -- All dogs must be neutered/spayed With each dog I care for, I try to really get to know them and learn how they are unique, what their preferences are, and how they like to be loved. Whether it's spending time cuddling a pet or throwing a ball for a tireless fetcher, I'll do everything I can to make sure your dog's care is incredibly personalized! Taking care of dogs is what I do full time, so aside from a couple of hours in the afternoon when I am out walking dogs, I will be home with your fur baby all day :) I do have two dogs of my own, a Lab/Doberman mix named Cletus and a Shih Tzu/JRT mix named Arabella. Both of them are friendly with other dogs and cats. Both of my dogs are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. I do ask that any dog staying at my house be on a flea preventative and be current on rabies vaccinations. I also have an indoor/outdoor cat that occasionally comes around to meet new dogs if they are up for meeting her, but she knows to stay away from dogs who aren't as thrilled about felines. -- Because safety is my number one goal, I do have to turn away dogs that show signs of aggression towards people or other dogs. Even though it kills me to ever have to do this, please understand it is just as much for your own canine's happiness and safety!
