Hi I’m Silver! I am a full time pet sitter & animal rescuer offering a wide range of services. Please look below for how I operate and what makes me different from other sitters! Please read my current Rover policies (at bottom of profile) to ensure I am the best fit for your fur babies! * Very experienced- I currently do Rover on top of operating my licensed & insured pet sitting business (Cadence Canine Care) and animal rescue (CCC Rescue & Sanctuary). *Dog training & grooming experience. *Pet cpr and first aid certified. *Experience administering medication (both oral and injections). *Experience with all dog breeds. *Experience with all ages- puppies to seniors. *Experience with other pets including pocket pets, reptiles, aquatic pets and livestock. *Slow dog introduction process when introducing new pups to my pack. *Daily reports and pictures sent home to families every evening between 6-8pm. Check out our Facebook @CadenceCanine to see what a typical day looks like for our pups! My home and how I operate- Commercial kennel meets rover sitter! On a normal day, I watch 10-15 fur babies. During busy periods (holidays), I am able to accommodate up to 25 pups. I have employees who come over daily to help me keep an eye on the group. We have temperament tests in place prior to introducing new pups and take dog introductions super slow to avoid conflicts. I do a lot of dog rescuing, and therefore always have great playmates for all breeds/temperaments /ages! New clients are always introduced to my "pack" first. My pack consists of very stable tempered pups of all ages/sizes. If a new dog doesn't get along with my pack, they will not be allowed to meet other guests- no exceptions. This is a safety protocol I have in place to ensure the safety of my guests. Pups are allowed to play in my home throughout the day but are separated for meals, at bedtime and any time we can't directly supervise. We like keeping pups busy throughout the day on our 13 acres- kennel time is very limited! When pups are put away they relax in our "doggy room" complete with string lights, comfy crates, bones(if allowed) and a tv. We provide lots of walks, outdoor playtime and indoor playtime/ cuddles throughout the day. We also have a 6ft privacy fence on 1.5 acres that the dogs can enjoy with puppy pools and sprinklers (in summer)! Due to our small dog to handler ratio we are proud to provide our boarding/daycare guests with lots of one on one time, group walks, photoshoots and fun activities. We also spoil them with monthly barkbox toys, homemade doggy treats, and an unlimited supply of tennis balls! We guarantee they will come home happy and tired after the doggy vacation! Daycare and Boarding requirements- *Dogs MUST be crate trained. It is essential due to the number of pups we watch. We separate via crates at bedtime to prevent conflicts, during meals to prevent food aggression and throughout the day as needed (if I need to run an errand, do a meet and greet, etc). We do make exceptions for some of our regulars and senior pups, who we know will not get into things overnight. However, this is solely up to our discretion. *Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations (Dhlpp, Bordetella, Rabies). Must be on flea and tick preventive in warmer months. Negative fecal test. *Must be non aggressive (both to dogs and humans). At times, we can make exceptions for moody pups. If you have a reactive pup, please reach out and we will let you know if we can accommodate during your desired dates! *We prefer pups over 1yr old to be fixed. We can make exceptions, however please note that due to unfixed pup tendencies (marking in house, moodiness, etc) along with not being able to be with other unfixed pups, their playgroup during their stay will be limited. We are currently unable to accept dogs with the following behavioral issues-severe separation anxiety, fence jumping, door opening, excessive barking, un-house trained (with the exception of puppies currently potty training). As much as I love any and all dogs I'm unable to accommodate these pups in my home. I suggest my drop-in service or finding a house sitter for these types of dogs! Grooming services: Please note, although we have grooming experience, we are NOT professional groomers. Our grooming service includes a bath, blow dry, a nail trim and brushing/de-shedding. We can do a hair cut or shave on certain breeds/coat types. Please ask us for availability (other charges may apply for full groom). We can not provide grooming services to reactive pups at this time. My policies- *My hours are 7am-7pm for dropoffs and pickups. I allow early dropoffs/late pickups 6-7am and 7-8pm for an extra 20$. Absolutely no dropoffs and pickups out of these hours. *I require no more than a 30 min window for all dropoffs/pickups. I am typically on a tight schedule so I rely on these windows so I can get to the rest of my clients in a timely manner! Failure to come in your 30min windows will result in a $5 fee per occurence. Please be on time or if you are running behind/running early let me know asap. I may or may not be available due to my other bookings but will do my best to accomodate. Please don't show up unannounced! *I send one daily update per doggy guest- between 6-8pm. My updates include pictures from the day as well as a description on how your pup did. At this time I do not have time to send everyone multiple updates per day. Please know your baby is in good hands! *I do accommodate meet and greets for new clients however due to my busy schedule I can not accommodate meetings for last minute bookings. During meet and greets I show you the main areas of my home and will answer any questions you may have. Please respect my (and my doggy clients) privacy. I do not give full house tours or let people meet any of my guests.
