Hello, my name is Valerie. I have a passion for animals and over 10 years of experience in dog sitting. I understand the importance of finding a loving and trustworthy caregiver for your furry family members. We have a fenced in backyard that your dogs will be able to play in. Your dogs will be safe here with us! I am a stay at home mom that will be able to give your dogs the attention they will need while they are missing you! Please be aware that many times the meeting between my dogs and your dogs will be hectic, but in a good way. Dogs get excited to meet other dogs. They will run, sniff, jump and generally have a good time. Meetings are not fun if the owners are tense and scared. Your dogs will immediately sense this and react accordingly. I have been through many meetings at this point and the meetings typically go exactly how you think they will. If you are scared, your dogs are scared. If you are happy and let them be dogs, they are happy too. Please be advised that the charge per night is for a 24 hour period. If you intend to drop off early morning on the first day of the booking and pick up later in the day on the last day of the booking an additional fee will be assessed. $17.50 for up to 8 additional hours and $35 for more than 8 hours. *Please note that I only take established clients during major holidays. (Thanksgiving and Christmas) You are welcome to book a trial weekend before a major holiday booking so I can assess if it’s a good fit for the holidays. I am a stay at home mom and available for a good portion of the day to care for your dog! I accept drop offs as early as 6 am. As far as pick up goes, I will allow pick up until 9 pm. If you cannot make it by then, please book an additional night. Please ensure your drop off and pick up window is limited to a one hour timeframe. I ask that you are punctual with drop offs and pick ups. If something comes up and you will be late please let me know as soon as possible. I have a fenced yard that your dogs will love to play in. We ensure all gates are locked and your dog is generally supervised in the backyard. We are now open for daycare. Please only request daycare if you can drop off before 7:10 am. Pick ups can happen before 2:30 or after 4:10. *Please note, refunds are not given for early pick up unless the possibility of early pick up is discussed before booking. Your dog is holding a boarding spot and if they go home early, I am not able to fill that spot.
