Dogs who stay at my house enjoy access to all rooms except the designated bird room. Those who know how to use dog doors can enjoy free access on demand to the 100+ square meter covered pool deck during daylight hours, with further access to a securely fenced yard. Dogs who are not comfortable with dog doors will enjoy hourly access to the outdoor areas, however they will be restricted indoors while not directly supervised (Florida is hot!). While indoors, dogs are encouraged to enjoy couches and beds unless otherwise instructed (I will keep dogs off of couches if you follow a 'no dogs on couches' rule at your house). Furthermore, I will overnight your dog in your crate if that is your preference. Alternatively, if your dog is used to a bed or a cool hardwood floor at night, they'll be snug as a bug at my place. I have experience caring for large breeds all the way up to Great Pyrenees and small breeds all the way down to Chihuahua. I do not discriminate against dogs based on breed or size, however I reserve the right to weigh risk VERY carefully when considering clients. Dogs enjoying the outdoor areas have access to a filtered water fountain, and dogs in-doors are provided reverse-osmosis water. My dog is fed ration-style and in private, and guest dogs can be fed as-preferred by the owner. Private feeding is available, as is open-feeding (your dog's food will need to be segregated to prevent my dog access). However, I prefer ration-style private feeding if your dog is compatible. If owner-provided food is not preferred, I can feed my preferred diet: Equal parts size-appropriate Royal Canin™ kibble, a NomNom™ fresh mix, and an egg scramble from my chicken coop. This will incur an additional fee, or you can buy me a bag of Winry's chow and we'll call it even. All dogs visiting my home who do not have a gps tracking collar will be fitted with a Tile tracking device on their collar during their stay. You will have access to the tile's location information so you can check on your fur baby during their stay. I will also have access to the location information in case I need to quickly locate your dog. In addition, video calls to check in on your fur baby are welcomed and encouraged. Finally, my dog has a Fi™ collar - if yours has one as well, you are encouraged to add me as a dog walker and add my base station to help keep the battery full! Birds visiting my house are somewhat more limited than dog guests, as I do not permit them to interact with either my bird or my dog. The risks of birds spreading contamination are too great, and the risk of birds being injured or killed by a dog are even further too great. Therefore, my only two considerations while hosting your bird are HEALTH and SAFETY. As a bird owner myself, I understand how challenging it can be to keep a bird safe and healthy. I feed my bird Beaker a highly specialized diet including a scientifically formulated cold-pressed pellet, fresh vegetables, sprouted beans, and protein supplements including fresh eggs from the chicken coop and mealworms. You can choose to offer a similar diet while your bird is visiting, with a similar additional fee to the dog food fee above, or buy a bag of Beaker's food. I am well-versed with parrot meal conversions, and while I cannot guarantee success (I prioritize health over any training goals while hosting pets) I will help with attempts to move birds to healthier diets. Remember folks, parrots can't survive on only seeds! Alternatively, I am happy to follow your preferred diet to the letter. I understand the challenges you face as a bird owner - I am lucky enough to have a friend who understands my preferred diet for my bird, and cares for my bird enough to ensure that diet is followed to the letter. I know many people aren't that lucky - Let me be that friend for you. I follow a 12-hour day/night cycle for my bird - during the day he receives 6-8 hours of partial sunlight and fresh air in his back-porch cage, as well as 4-6 hours of social time in/on/around his living room cage. When the sun goes down, I move Beaker to his night cage in the hall closet so he can get a full 12 hours of quiet time. Unless you prefer otherwise, I can follow a similar schedule with your bird - this will likely involve moving their cage from room to room, as I do not allow guest birds 'out of cage' time. Exceptions can be made by owner request at my discretion, however exceptions will NOT be made without owner request. Note: I PRIORITIZE BIRD HOSTING!!!! There are many services and even companies dedicated to boarding of dogs and cats. There are no such services easily available to bird owners. This is made even worse by the fact that birds are, paradoxically, usually more difficult to keep safe and healthy. Therefore, I try to prioritize clients with birds who need boarding. I appreciate your understanding in this matter!
