Note: I have my own dog, Terrina, who has joined me in the past whenever I'd make house calls, however, she will not be doing so for any short-term Rover services. This way, my focus will be only on my client's pets. For simple breaks, I check the house for any accidents (for indoor pets) before taking the dog(s) out for a light 15-35min. stroll followed by filling up water bowl(s) if necessary before I leave. -walk can be substituted for at-house playtime. -if you prefer I let pets out in a backyard/patio instead, I will do so and make sure that "business" is taken care of. -waste will be disposed of in proper bin. -depending on my available time, I will extend the walk for higher energy dogs. Combination feeding and bathroom drop-in visits will start with letting pets out (if indoors) to relieve themselves, then playtime, or a walk, followed by feeding them per owner's instructions. -I would like to know details such as designated bowls, quantity, and eating locations or any other relevant info. (e.g. "Fluffy cannot stand eating next to Princess, so please place them at least 3 ft apart") -I can administer tricky medicines and navigate some nipping, however, will not deal with overly aggressive does exceeding 40 lbs. Baths can be given after the second house-sitting reservation (or third day of the initial one) on Fridays or weekends only with prior agreement. This is to allow time to build some rapport with a pet. -Clients must have their own supplies such as brushes, shampoo, and designated doggie towel. -up to 2 small dogs or 1 large one per day. -will not do outdoor baths in the evenings or when it's cooler than 60F. -Please do not ask me to bathe an aggressive dog of any size, water + soap makes for an accident prone environment. -I would recommend indoor bathing as dogs have the tendency of rubbing themselves on "unclean" surfaces like dirt or grass when cleaned. To avoid wetting furniture, I towel blot and blowdry afterwards. -NOT a pet stylist, but I can trim moderate matting Overnights/House-sitting stays includes all of the services above (given that conditions for bathing have also been met). I would require access to the kitchen for heating/cooking my own meals and a small bit of fridge space--I bring my items. This would vary depending on how long I am house-sitting and whether or not I am staying overnight. While I would prefer a bedroom to stay in, I would be able to manage with hunkering down on a couch for a night or two given that clean bedding has been left for me. I would also like to have clients close all rooms before leaving their home. It minimizes potential pet mischief when they are sometimes home alone. I will not be opening any unless instructed to do so, such as my designated room/bathroom or if the pets have a specific room they are allowed to stay in. Finally, I will require the wifi password as I will need to do work on my tablet/computer. You can expect to hear back from me through text within 2 hours if not within 5 min during the week. I do take calls from 9am-11pm unless there was a previous arrangement to do so earlier/later. If I can't answer, I will text you when I can. In this service, pets will get: -2 walks a day -2-3 meals -grooming (basic brushing/deshedding can be given when the bath option is unavailable) -playtime and cuddles! -for sickly dogs, I can cook pet-safe bland meals given that the owner leaves supplies. A note regarding COVID-19: I have been vaccinated and taken a booster. I don't have a problem wearing a mask for short services but would not do so throughout the overnight ones. My clients' safety is also important to me so I will not risk accepting services if I do feel ill. I understand people have different sentiments about the pandemic, so I would like to make it known that I will do my best to accomodate to best relieve any concerns.
