Dogs are free to roam around our house. I ask that proper bedding, crate, leash and any other comfort items are provided by the owners. I don’t allow visitors in our home while petsitting in order to minimize the stress and anxiety on the guest pet. Our backyard is big and is fenced in. Dogs are allowed to play outside for as long as they want (weather permitting). I keep fresh water on our deck for hydration during playtime in the backyard. Potty breaks are every 0-2 hours, or whenever the dog feels like it’s time to go outside. During the night I prefer to keep the dogs in our bedroom for their comfort and for rapid response in case there’s an emergency. I have two animal hospitals within a mile radius: Youngsville Animal Hospital and Heartwood Animal Hospital. Both places are wonderful! Pet parents will receive daily updates about their furry babies and will be kept informed of their activities via text message. Pictures included. I can provide dog food unless the owners prefer to bring their own. Medications and allergies: please let us know in detail about your pets medication regimes or allergies we need to consider. I have a small terrier who’s very sweet and friendly. He gets along with other dogs without problems.
