About: Hello Rover Family, I just made a big purchase of a farm to let all our fur babies roam around freely without having to worry about other dogs causing issues. It’s over 1 acre! I’m in the process of remodeling, adding kennels, and installing secure fencing. Once this is all done, I cannot wait for boarding to begin and all the fun and exciting adventures that await! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside time each day to play with the dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Feeding times are consistent, and I always keep an eye on their health and well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to grooming and cleaning their living spaces, making sure everything is comfortable and hygienic for them. My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or extra attention they might require. When it comes to safety, trust, and environment, I take several steps to ensure pets are well-cared for, whether in my home or a client's home: Safety: I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, removing any hazards that could harm them. This includes securing loose wires, keeping toxic plants or substances out of reach, and ensuring all doors and windows are secure. Trust: Building trust with pets is crucial. I spend time getting to know them, understanding their behavior, and being consistent with my care. This helps them feel secure and comfortable around me. Environment: I create a comfortable and stimulating environment for the pets. This includes providing cozy sleeping areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space for them to explore and play. I also maintain a clean and hygienic space to ensure their health and well-being. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that pets feel safe, loved, and happy in any setting.
