Tail Waggers Welcome!

*Re-opened: 06/25/2022* *Pick-up/Drop-off available, however, you must provide the rideshare expense (Uber/Lyft) to and from. As far back as I can remember I've always had dogs. They are the best fur buddies! Dogs are free to roam my home including being up on the furniture (if you allow it at home). There are large grassy areas (unfenced) that we can play in and exercise around on a leash! Every fur guest is treated like family. Special needs dogs are welcome! Any type of medication given (oral, topical, injected); no additional charge. *Dog preferences are preset to specific weight limits; I will board dogs up to 40'ish pounds. I must be able to carry the dog if an emergency situation occurs, ie. tornadoes. Please bring their specific food, and special toy(s). No need to bring a crate. Puppy rates only apply if they are not yet house-broken. If they are house-broken please let me know so I can adjust your rate before booking.

Boarding • Dec 12, 2019

I would have told people that you live on the 2nd story and have such steep steps for sure. My dog was so scared she would not go down them even to go home much less to go potty. Do she used potty pads the entire visit. My wife had to carry her down the stairs. Then she ran away from the apartment. My dog NEVER runs! I was given half a bag of dog food back. In which it was measured exactly four the visit. The shouldn't have been any left. I don't know what she was feeding her. I got her home and she had the runs and it was bright yellow! It took almost week to get back to normal bowl movements. This when I need a sitter for the Christmas break as well! What to do now???

House Sitting • Jan 02, 2019

Winter did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about how our dogs were doing with pictures and comments. She is great at communicating, and is flexible and accommodating for special needs. Our dogs were calm and happy when we picked them up again.

When I have to go on a trip wether planned or unexpectedly I can always count on Winter to help me with my fur babies. They actually enjoy their time with her and I never have to worry how they are doing. I would definitely recommend Winter for all your fur kids needs, they will be glad you let them stay!

Winter is amazing! She took care of Bella like she was her own! I recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her more in the future.

Winter was great! She agreed to watch Tyler on short notice and was very flexible on drop off and pickup. Tyler seemed to have a great time.

Safety, trust & environment

Fur babies have always been part of my family and I will treat yours as if they were my own. I will care for an additional dog from the same family if needed. However, I do not mix dogs from separate families unless both parties can provide a written statement that the dogs are well known and behaviorally tolerant of each other.

Pets

A typical day

Outside for 'business trips' at least every couple hours with at least one daily walk (usually two) around the perimeter of the complex. Lots of playtimes outside, weather permitting. Meals and medications, if applicable, per your instructions.

0 to 15 lbs
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Winter can host up to 1 pet per night
If your dog requires frequent incontinence briefs or female britches, please provide them. Dogs must be well-mannered. I do not have breed restrictions but I will not tolerate dogs with aggressive behavior issues including being food defensive (I feed them all separately and I'm present at all times while they eat).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
