Insured • WFH couple with flexibility • Senior, medical needs, & rescue experience • Child free, smoke free home w/ small fenced yard & nearby park • No off-leash, no dog parks • One family at a time 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Shai and my husband is Norman! We’ll care for your pet like they’re our own. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry family member is our top priority. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates so your pet is well covered. I’m the primary sitter, but Norman helps out with care in our home. 🏠 We offer individualized dog daycare and boarding in our home in University Heights, San Diego. To be able to provide personalized care, we only host 1 client at a time (up to 2 dogs from the same family). Please note: Early drop-off before 7am and late pick-up after 10pm will incur an additional $10 fee. The booking amount will be modified depending on the times requested. ☀️ We also offer dog/cat drop-in visits (open to other animals!) and dog walking in University Heights and areas within a 10 minute radius, which may include: North Park, Hillcrest, Normal Heights, Serra Mesa, and Mission Valley. 🐾 EXPERIENCE: 1. PERSONAL: We adopted our two rescue pomeranians Waffles and Toffee in 2018 and 2020. We’ve looked after pets for family and friends, including a young high energy goldendoodle, a senior deaf and blind shih tzu, and two slow-to-warm cats. 2. PROFESSIONAL: I worked front desk at a dog daycare facility for over a year. I handled dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and learned how to stay organized and safe within a pet care environment. We also have been providing pet care through Rover and privately since 2024. 3. VOLUNTEER: We have been volunteering with various animal rescues for the past 6+ years, which has brought us experience with medical needs and behavioral quirks. We’ve spent time with plenty of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, goats, and even an emu. SERVICE DETAILS: 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 MEET AND GREETS: We require a meet and greet for potential clients prior to first booking to ensure we’re all a good fit for one another. It will also give us the chance to chat face-to-face about your pet and any care expectations. If it’s last minute or you are only vacationing in the area, we may allow exceptions depending on the request and after speaking via phone call or FaceTime. For longer boarding stays, we may require a one night trial at a discounted fee. 🐶 DOG DAYCARE: A day at our place includes: a clean dog proof home environment, lounging cot, small private fenced yard, semi-private unfenced yard (we always supervise and leash up), walkable neighborhood with a park less than half a mile away, and two furry hosts Waffles and Toffee. We can keep your dog engaged with walks, playtime, and command practice or just keep it chill and have them enjoy TV time with us. We sometimes go out to dog friendly places such as Liberty Station or Balboa Park, with your permission if your dog is comfortable in those environments. If your dog has physical limitations, we have a stroller for those under ~20lb. 🧳 DOG BOARDING: All the amenities of daycare, plus a safe home to rest at night. We ask that our boarders be house trained or crated trained so we have the ability to step out (no longer than 3 hours). We have a Petcube camera with sound and movement detection to monitor them while we’re out. If your dog needs human company for the entirety of their stay, we may have flexibility and are happy to discuss during the meet and greet. Please bring your dog’s crate, bed, and/or anything else to help them feel at home. We have extra beds for small dogs. 📝 DAYCARE/BOARDING REQUIREMENTS: 1) Must be neutral, indifferent, or friendly with both humans and dogs. 2) Must be potty trained. We may make exceptions for senior/medical incontinence if you can provide supplies — disposable diapers, wipes, etc. 3) Limited barking (to keep our neighbors happy). 4) Up to date on vaccines and flea prevention. 🧸 DOG/CAT DROP-IN VISITS: We offer feeding, playtime, water bowl refills, litter box cleaning for cat households, and will ensure your home is secured when we leave. For dogs, we’ll also take them out to potty in your yard or on leash outside. If you prefer a proper walk, please book our walking service instead or book a drop-in and walk service back to back. 🦮 DOG WALKS: We’ll check your dog’s harness/collar/leash for safety and walk them around the neighborhood at their pace. We’ll refill their water bowl and ensure your home is secured when we leave. 🌟 DROP-IN VISIT & WALK NOTES: Our main requirement is that your pet is not aggressive with humans so we can safely visit/walk them. We understand some animals need a slow introduction, which we can all gauge during the meet and greet. Please note we do not intermingle pets from different households. We look forward to hearing from you and your pet! ♥️
