Your TRUST and your dog's HAPPINESS are the most important aspects when leaving your best friend with someone. I work for a popular Pet Hospital in Flower Mound. I have passed a background check when I became a volunteer at The Lewisville Animal Shelter & Lewisville Citizens Police Patrol, so you can rest assure that you furry friend will be safe with me. Let's get together and do a Meet & Greet with our pups in a neutral location. We want you & your doggie to feel comfortable with being with me. The first day with their sitter is the most important to make them feel safe and secure and loved. I observe their body language carefully and will console if the doggie experiences separation anxiety. ****I will request your email address, upon contact for a Meet or Stay Request, so that you may review my Host Questionnaire Form, completion only required upon booking. The Form answers questions that help me know what you & your dog's needs are so that I may provide the best possible care for your pet. **** -OVERNIGHT IN YOUR HOME PET SITTING SERVICE: I can pet sit at your home. An example of a schedule for your dog(s) for “In YOUR Home” schedule would be: 1. Letting them out in the morning for potty break & giving breakfast if your pet is fed twice daily. 2. A late afternoon check-in for dinner & potty break and walks if needed. 3. Returning in evening for the overnight stay, potty break, play time, and then bed. If you are needing a sitter to stay/visit your home instead of boarding at my house please let me know when contacting me. A personalized quote will need to be prepared if your home is more than 5 miles from my home there will be additional gas expense. Also, if you would like additional services such as light cleaning, mail retrieval, etc. This service is a minimum of $50/night up to 3 dogs, each additional dog is $15. Holidays & additional services are extra, ask for a quote. (If on a holiday + $20.) Example: 4 dogs on Thanksgiving Eve/Day $50+$15+20=$85.00 -CHECK-IN SERVICE: Check-In Services is usually 3 times a day. Once in the morning, late afternoon/early evening, and then close to bedtime. At each check in a potty break & a good petting will be completed. Your schedule can be customized to fit you and your pet(s) needs. This service cost is based on the number of check-ins required & up to 3 Dogs. 4 or more dogs / more than 10 miles from my home / holidays are additional & will require a personalized quote. 1 Check-In (within 10 miles of my home) = $15.00 (if on a holiday, +$20.) 2 Check-Ins ( ") = $14.50 * 2 = $29.00 (if on a holiday + $20.) 3 Check-Ins (") = $14.00 * 3 = $42.00 (if on a holiday + $20) -PICK UP/DROP OFF YOUR PET BY HOST SERVICE: I can pick up and/or drop off your pet(s) if you need. I have clients that love this service & ease of planning for their trips. This service makes the transition less stressful for owners with a lot of "to do's" before vacationing and easier for the pets because they are usually very excited about taking a ride in the car. **STAYS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. ** I apologize if I have had any correspondence with you & then my booking became full. Please understand, as Hosts, we get a lot of people saying they're going to book a stay & then don't. Financially, we cannot hold a spot if someone else is willing to confirm. Nothing personal, I wish I could keep all the doggies but then they wouldn't receive the best care & attention they deserve if I had too many dogs. ***Stays over 24 hours, would require an additional fee. One day of booking is calculated in 24 hour periods. If it's within one hour late/early for pick up/drop off that is perfectly acceptable, no charge, just notify the host please. Hosts have families & plans outside of our job as hosts please be considerate and keep in contact if you anticipate early/late arrival. For Example: If an owner drops their dog(s) off at 6:00PM on Monday day for a 24 hour stay, then it is expected that the owner will pick up their pet between 5:00PM & 7:00PM the following day, keeping in contact with the host on anticipated time changes is appreciated. If you need to have additional time added to your stay but not a full 24 hours, then please expect 50% charge for the additional time over approximately one hour. Such as... If your stay of one dog is $25.00 for one day then you need additional time (over 1 hour) $12.50 needs to be added to your quote.*** HOLIDAYS: I'm available most holidays but booked quickly and will require an additional fee. Some of the holidays are: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, Easter, Memorial & Labor Days, July 4th, etc. Some of the holidays I will only board in my home 2 guests, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Usually the holidays are $20 additional per day for Check-Ins & Your Home Sitting. Boarding at my home is $20/per dog additional cost. My Host Questionnaire Form has a little more detailed Policies and Procedures and will be e-mailed to you as soon as you have made a request for a Meet & Greet or a Stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s). Thank you for considering BLAZE'S FRIENDS for the care of your special furry friend! -Tanya Volunteer at The Lewisville Animal Shelter. Why I love dog sitting All my life! I experience with different breeds, sizes, and ages. I volunteer at the Lewisville Animal Shelter. Meet my pets Blaze is our 2 year old Aussie. Bentley is a new 4 month old pup. They boys are altered & get along great with each other and other dogs. I can walk your dog once a day for 15 minute included in their stay. Additional walks or dog park trips are extra. Blaze is very easy going, acts a little older than what he really is. Bentley is very playful. He doesn't know he's a big puppy, so if he tries to play with your small dog & they tell him no, he will back down. Sadden but will not be aggressive towards them. About my yard I have a medium sized backyard with a 6' privacy fence on all sides. Large Doggie Dog access open all the time. My experience administering medication Yes. I am a Mom and I have a loving and confident personality. This personality means, I can take care of your furry friend in the event of an emergency with patience and dedication.
