Where your pets are our family too.

Pet care experience

I feel my many years of experience with dogs allows me to provide high quality care to your loved ones. I have always had animals in my life so I am experienced in many breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am experienced in caring for multiple dogs, and take all necessary precautions. You can rest assured your dog is in a loving and caring hands while in my families care. I am married and my spouse is very involved in helping me care for your pets. BOARDING: Your dog must be crate trained, house trained, neutered/spayed, not aggressive. Must get along with other dogs and cats. My cat normally stays in my room, but I don't want to put her in any danger with a dog that isn't cat friendly. DROP IN: For dogs - must have fenced in yard. Dog must not be aggressive. Cats - no fenced yard required. Cat must not be aggressive. WALK: Must be leash trained, specially if they're over 20lbs. Not aggressive with people or other animals. Must live in a walkable neighborhood. HOUSE-SITTING: Pets must not be aggressive. If you need them walked on a leash, they must be leash trained. Meet and greet is required before booking. I thank you for entrusting me to care for your loved one. I look forward to meeting you and thank you so much for your business.

Information Vanessa & Mailyne R. would like to know about your pet

I know it seems like a lot, but it is important you take the time to read through this, and answer the questions below (ONLY REQ. FOR BOARDING). Copy & Paste this section into a message and answer these questions please and thank you: QUESTIONS 1. Is your pet used to/ok with being in a crate while no one is home, and sometimes at night? (I do host pets from multiple homes and no matter how good your dog is with other dogs, I wouldn’t dare leave them all home together, unattended & unfortunately, I cannot sleep with all of our guest at once either, so sometimes I do have to crate.) 2. Does your pet chew on random household items? This is for your pets’ safety mostly. 3. Does your pet have separation anxiety or any other health related issues (such as allergies or sensitive stomach), or unique personality traits? It’s best if you are upfront about these things, rather than wait until they become an issue. If I know about things beforehand I can better prepare myself for providing excellent care to your pet while you are away. 4. Does your pet have a “Happy Bladder”? 5. Is your dog up to date on shots/flea prevention? 6. At what time do you need to drop off on drop off day and pick up on pick up day? Please keep in mind that rates are based on a 24 hour period for Dog Boarding, GUIDELINES (please read) 1. You must provide 30 minute time frame when you plan to drop off and pick up. Punctuality is VERY important to me, my time is valuable. 2. Dogs must be house trained. 3. Flea prevention is required. 4. Please make sure your pet is bathed/clean at drop off. If you drop off a dirty dog there will be an extra charge for the bath (see rates in extras below). 5. Please provide 2 emergency contacts. 6. Please bring your dogs crate, bowls, bed/blanket, toys. EXTRAS * Bath - $40-$80 (rate depends on size, coat, difficulty)

A typical day

Lots of belly rubs, and cuddling. Never ending love and attention. Peanut butter filled Kongs, and lots of treats. Outdoor fun in the dog park. Family time indoors, so they don't feel sad while you're away. See more of your pets by following "Happy Tails Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Services" on Facebook.

Your pets will not be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I sleep in your home, unless you request otherwise.
