***************Temporarily suspend all services. Unable to care until further notice*********** Please read through before contacting me to make sure it is a good fit. HYPOALLERGENIC I only take care of hypoallergenic dogs or dogs with very little shedding because my family has allergy. MY RATE You may have noticed that my rate is LOW in the DMV area. It may not be the lowest, because I only take TWO dog. Although there is a steep cleaning cost, I still let dog out 5+ times in a day. With your permission, they also can enjoy all organic and human grade treats. For new clients staying of two nights or fewer, if stay exceeds 48 hours, may charge extra upon agreement. NOT apply to repeated clients or longer stays. SCHEDULING I do meet and greet 4-6pm everyday except Sunday and if the above time frame does not work, please let me know so we can work something out. Meet and greet is required for new clients. For repeated clients, if you find I am unavailable for the time you need care for your dog, please contact me. I will try accommodating because dogs already know each other well so they don't need adjustment. BOOKING I don't ever cancel on my clients, so I won't be able to commit for the date too far along. Ideally, it would be at most 1 month or so. CRATE Dogs are never crated in my house. The reason of requiring crate-trained being in case they get too excited, they can go to their crate to quiet down. However, if they have severe behavioral issues, they might be segregated for other dogs' safety. Safety is always our top priority. Also, for puppies (younger than 2 yrs old), please bring the crate. Puppies tend to be curious and like to chew stuff especially in a new environment. HOUSE TRAINED I understand accidents happen and that is totally ok! Unfortunately, I can't take dogs that are not house trained. Also, I prefer them to know to use pee pads which I usually lay out around the house just in case. MY LOVE FOR DOGS I have a small maltipoo whom I adopted from a mutual friend. The reason I was on top of their adoption candidate list is that I had been taking care of their dogs and they knew how much I love them. To me, Dog is divine, with the healing ability and the precious quality for forgiving and unconditional love. So I do the best I can to cherish and return their love. My dog came as a Christmas miracle in 2012 to me and we are besties ever since. He is the best gift I have ever had. I have a Ph.D. in Marketing, and I even study dog and pet owners in my own research!
