🐾 Rates are flexible, especially for multiple pets❣️ See below 👇 My full time work is partially remote so that enables me to be available more often as well as provide extra security for your home😊🐾 I will generally adjust rates based on your needs & the number of pets in the household. So for example, I will often discount kitties when combined with pups or in multiples😻 Do your pets give you the guilt face when you leave home? Are you just a bit overwhelmed as a new pet parent? Maybe you have pets with challenging manners or older pets in need of extra care? Got big dogs? That’s my specialty!

Please see my five star reviews and I can provide excellent references from clients. Your peace of mind is my top priority! FAQ: WHAT SETS ME APART FROM OTHER SITTERS & KENNEL SERVICES? Please see some of my 5 Star Reviews! As a fellow animal lover I fully understand how hard it is to be away from your pets & find someone who will care for them with true love! Unlike most "sitters", I am trained & certified in animal behavior & welfare from The Humane Society of The U.S. & Animal CPR Certified. Providing very personal service is something I take seriously, therefore; I am conservative in the number of new clients I take on each year. WHAT IS MY ANIMAL CARE EXPERIENCE? I've owned a variety of animals, usually in multiples, most of my life, but took their care far more seriously once I experienced adopting dogs with behavior & health issues. Without that experience, I may have never pursued the specialized training from The Humane Society of The U.S. that helped me to become a serious canine handler. Working as a volunteer in kennel environments as well as one on one with many different breeds of canine, feline & exotic animals has been truly inspiring & educational! GOT BIG DOGS ? Although I truly have no breed preferences, my specialty is large & giant breeds. I've owned & am extremely confident in my ability to handle what some think are "dangerous" animals & often discriminated against such as: AMPB/AMS (Pit Bull) Terriers, German Shepherd Dogs, Rottweilers, Chows, Doberman Pinschers, as well as many other large & giant breeds. WHEN AM I AVAILABLE, WHERE & FOR WHAT SERVICES? Last minute? Life happens, no worries! I am available throughout the Portland & surrounding areas within a 50 mile radius. I am happy to discuss fees in detail prior to any booking. DO I CARE FOR PUPPIES, SENIORS, MULTIPLE PETS, KITTIES or EXOTICS? Yes. These each have their own set of special needs & it's best to have someone with experience. I recommend overnights or multiple check ins for puppies & seniors as it's perfect for their extra needs. I have owned exotics such as reptiles. I also offer a multiple pet discount & generous rewards for frequent guests! CAN I ADMINISTER MEDICATION? I am confident in administering medication in all forms, including injections. I would appreciate any details that seem to work with your pet to maximize dosing & minimize stress. WHAT EXTRA STEPS DO I TAKE TOWARDS YOUR PETS SAFETY & YOUR HOME SECURITY? Of course just being at home keeps them comfortable & more content, but your home is also kept safer by being monitored by me & your pets! There are no chances of picking up viruses, etc as can happen in kennels. I also take an extra precaution of attaching a temporary tag to each pets collar that provides my immediate contact info. DO I OFFER ADDITIONAL HOME SERVICES? Yes. I would be happy to arrange those as you need. I will treat your home and pets with respect and dignity. Besides the duties for your pets, I always keep things tidy in general, pick up your mail/newspapers, sign for packages, water plants & take out the trash. No one wants to come home to a mess & this increases the property security. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR PETS? I'd love to know anything you feel is important & unique to your pet(s) such as: daily schedule, medical needs, behavior triggers, commands, feeding schedule, daily grooming needs & special personality traits. I will have a questionnaire for us to go over together so that we cover every detail. I will ask that you provide details including additional contacts, medication directions, personal Vet info as well as the nearest 24 hour animal hospital HOW DO BOOKING FEES WORK? “Overnight” stays are a 24hr period. “Doggy Day Care” is an 8hr period. I generally give a 2hr grace period window for free in between. For example: You drop off your pup on a Friday morning at 8am to be picked up at 8 am on Sunday. That is equal to 2 overnights. If you were to need to pick him up after 10am, I would then charge pro rated Doggy Day Care fees based on just how long you need in time beyond the booking window & grace period. This prevents confusion for everyone & keeps rates crystal clear while fully compensating me for the constant care of your beloved pets.
