Information Skarlett V. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing for me to know is if your pet has anxiety. Please let me know in detail what your pet’s personality traits are, their likes and dislikes, day time and night time routines. Are they okay sleeping on their own? Do they get along with other dogs, people, cats? What are their quirks, favorite toys, whether or not they enjoy playing in water, what they are afraid of and so on. I’d especially like to know about their past if they’ve had a history of trauma or neglect, as well as how well the dog gets along with other new dogs we may encounter on our walks. Each dog has their own story and personality. I love getting to know their unique traits that make them so special! Please also let me know ahead of time of any and all security cameras you have, as well as if there will be anyone in your home at the time of my visit.

A typical day

My favorite place to walk with dogs is Pequonnock River Valley State Park in Trumbull where there are no city distractions. It’s a trail surrounded by nature including the Pequonnock river where puppers can get their paws wet on a hot day! I also like to go to Lake Mohegan in Fairfield for the same reasons. Beardsley Park is also close by where we could get in a quick walk or run around.

Pet care experience

About my services: • For multi-pet homes: If the base price for your drop-in or walk service exceeds $45, it will be $45 for the hour and not 30 min. (excluding pet care services on holidays) • I am located in Stratford and have more space for your pets to run around. The neighborhood is also better for walks! I will not accept requests to walk dogs around certain areas of Bridgeport, especially if it is past sun down or in the evening. I may also not accept last minute requests for service without having met prior to this. Thank you for understanding and making this sustainable for me, I truly appreciate it! PLEASE let me know if your pets have severe anxiety prior to services as boarding may not be a good fit. Any form of overnight care or day care does not include 24 hour service and care! - House sitting: overnight house sitting does not include 24 hour care such as drop in visits from 12pm to 9pm or multiple walks throughout the stay. Additional rates can be found on my page. If you’d like for me to drop in more than once a day, additional drop in visits are at a discounted price. If you’d like me to drop in more than three times a day, perhaps day care in your home or mine may be a better option we can look into. • My services come with light cleaning and tidy ups of common areas of home which include dishes and laundry. I will wash the sheets I sleep on before I go so you have a fresh, clean bed to come back to after your trip (time permitting :) -Boarding and Overnight Stays in My Home • At the time of your pet’s stay I will have three playful Cocker spaniel toy poodles and a cat also in my home • PLEASE let me know if your pet has severe anxiety prior to services as birding may mot be a good fit • If your pet does not do well with cats I can keep my cat separated and nails trimmed Quick background about me: • LGBTQ+ friendly space • Fairfield University graduate • Hablo español • Dog mom of 5 so your pet babies can have plenty of socialization and play time • Cat mom of one • I’ve raised two litters of puppies from newborns, having helped give birth to one litter • Senior care experience - Boarding & Day Care in My Home • At time of pick up or drop off please have your pet’s food and bed or blanket ready. Also have your pet ready to go with their harness / collar and leash for safety of transportation. The more tired your pet is prior to boarding or day care, the better. CBD products are also recommended as pets will often be very anxious in a new environment, and I want them to be as comfortable as possible so we can both have a great experience together! • Overnight boarding does not include 24 hour care such as day care • I will only board and take in small / medium socialized pups. In my home they will enjoy running around, playing, socialization, mental stimulation, attention, exercise, pets, cuddles and naps! All of this all day long in a group setting with my three playful Cockapoo’s • I love taking photos and videos to send to you so you can see what your pet babies are up to! • In pet boarding facilities your pet will not have the same care and attention as I can provide. Additionally, they are not left completely alone or unattended as they may experience at a pet hotel.

Skarlett was the best! The first time using her services and was extremely grateful for her attentiveness to detail. She was great with Finn with her calmness and sweetness. Very responsible and trustworthy.

Skarlett was so thorough, consistent, and genuinely caring for our kitty. She handled giving our kitty her meds perfectly, played and engaged with her, and even went so far as to clean up messes. Highly recommend.
