If you were to need extended daycare time for longer than 12 hours, it is $10/hour per extra hour. If you were to need care BEFORE 8am or AFTER 8pm, it would be $10/hour outside of my regular 8a-8p schedule. I also offer custom packages for long-term daycare or odd situations, feel free to inquire and I'd be happy to try and help you! Thankyou so much for taking the time to read this! :)** If receiving in-home care from me I have a very friendly puppy who will keep your baby company. I can assure you your child will be treated as one of my own! Also if they are not pet friendly you can request one-on-one time and I can easily make that happen too. Im all about everyones comfort. :) If providing care in the clients home I will ensure your baby is safe, loved and comforted at all times, I will also abide by all house rules and make sure they're happy, fed & walked!

I am detail oriented and am dedicated to the safety of the pets & overall cleanliness.
About: I have had a dog since I was 13, and more recently a cat. I raised my dog from the age she was a puppy until now. She is fully potty trained along with being well trained in many commands. My cat was a stray rescue, and is well behaved and is fully trained to use her litter box. I have never had an issue with either of my animals! I am currently a photographer, leaving plenty of time for me to care for your sweet baby! I am hoping to lean on Rover as my full summer time job, but if this is not possible, I will be getting a part time job that will still leave me with plenty of time! I am willing to make an effort to crate train your pup, or teach them any commands! I also love to go for walks and I would be more than happy to walk your dog once or twice a day depending on their energy needs!
Stratford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sunny took good care of my older dog and endured that she took her pills with treats, even when it took several tries. I had a specific concern involving my dog and she kept me updated with detailed Rover cards. I was able to relax on my vacation without any worries.
Maddie was great in being responsive on short-notice and taking my dog for walks in hours when it was still dark outside. She followed the feeding directions and medicine administration that I had set out. Reasonably flexible and made changes due to weather without a problem.
Caitlin did an amazing job with our golden retriever. She was prompt, communicated in a timely manner, and our dog had a great time. It definitely gave us peace of mind, knowing someone who actually cared for animals was caring for hours. We highly recommend her to others.
