House Sitting in Winslow

“Christianna was so great with my babies. We have a usual dog sitter but he was unavailable due to a family issue and I was so nervous to try someone new but knowing she has animals of her own and has been doing this for so long, really helped ease my anxiety. She came to do a meet and greet and right away they loved her. She sent pictures and updates the whole time we were gone and they looked so relaxed with her!”

“Brittany was fabulous and even my Lab who is afraid of everyone accepted Brittany pretty quickly. She was great with pictures and updates!! Highly recommend!”

“Andrea is absolutely amazing! We have a fairly big farm with lots of different animals. She took great care of everyone and made sure they had everything they needed and more. We’ve already booked her for our next two trips away from the farm. Thank you, Andrea!”

About: == FULL TIME DOGGIE DAYCARE AND BOARDING! == Thank you for stopping by! Please read on to learn more about how we got started in the pet care business. == ABOUT US == We are a military family full of dog lovers (who isn't) and have been since we were children. This journey started after volunteering for a few months at a local humane society and wanting to spend more of our time with dogs. Since starting our Rover journey, we have been trusted with the privilege of caring for many of our friends' and family's dogs. With us, you can be sure that your dog will be in the hands of someone who enjoys dogs and their loving nature! == MEET AND GREETS == We personally do not require meet and greets but are more than willing to accomodate your request to have one, as we understand and value a mutually harmonious fit between all parties. Meet and greets will take place in the front yard and be limited to 10-15 minutes. Also, please know that we do not give tours due to liability reasons, however there are pictures on our profile to reference if needed. Our home is spacious, safe, secure and clean! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Daycare rates cover up to 12 hours ( pricing can be adjusted for half days etc) Boarding rates covers 24 hours *If a daycare stay exceeds 12 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. **If a boarding stay exceeds 24 hours by more than 2 hours, additional rates will be automatically applied. ***A convenience fee of $10 will be applied to any drop off or pick up prior to 7am. Please note that any photos and updates will be sent between the hours of 9am -9pm. If you have any further questions that were not answered here, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for reading and we hope to meet you and your best friend! == SCHEDULE == Our family is are full time dog sitters (spouse, mother in-law) and Eric still works his full time job in the military typically 8am-2pm. We are committed to have a dog loving and caring life while balancing our "weekends". We are typically able to accommodate changes in your schedule/needs to adjust pick up and drop off times. Please let us know as soon as possible about any adjustments needed. == DURING YOUR PUPS STAY == Upon a dog's first arrival, we strictly monitor their interactions with any other dog to be aware of any dynamics we need to be concerned about. We do not hesitate to separate dogs into different play areas if anything seems off. Our property is fully fenced on all sides, and we have gates to keep even the best escape artist pups safe. Dogs have full access to our entire downstairs which open up to a well-maintained fenced in yard. == FEEDING == During feeding time, your dog will fed in their crate or a play pen area to prevent food aggression and upset stomachs caused by consuming foreign dog food of other pups. == SLEEPING == Crate-trained dogs will sleep in crates (please specify if your dog is used to a certain size, as we have a wide variety of sizes available. Dogs who are not crate trained will sleep in a pen. Special accommodations can be made for dogs who are not able to do either of those. == WALKS == While it is our goal to make sure each dog get proper exercise and socialization, we do not provide walks during boarding due to liability and risk factors involved with walks (dogs escaping from harness, eating something off the side walk, coming into contact with an unfriendly dog, etc). We do, however give them plenty of outdoor time with the other dogs or solo to socialize and play, which we find is ample exercise for the pups that stay with us. REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PET Prior to dropping off, please fill out your dog's bio as much as possible. == THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG == -Is your pup sick and/or contagious? -Quirks or habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking, etc). -Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers. -If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions. -Is your pup up to date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication. We understand vaccines are not bulletproof and that some illnesses may have an extended incubation period but we highly recommend the vaccines to create the safest experience. *Please know that we are unable to care for sick/contagious dogs. If your pup shows any signs of disease or illness, please let us know beforehand so we can make sure you receive a proper refund. If we discover that your pup is exhibiting obvious symptoms of disease with the first 12 hours with us, your dog will need to be picked up and no refund will be issued. I work 2-3 days a week. Spouse is a stay at home mother. One of us is always at home and available to give your fur baby all of the attention that they need! Trustworthy military member (20 yrs of active-duty service). We can provide care in our home or come to you. I also work as a full-time volunteer for Chesapeake Humane Society helping with dog care team and enrichment.

“If I could give Vanessa more stars I would! The house was in great shape. She straightened and vacuumed the house. Piper and Dilly seemed very well cared for. We trust our girls instincts and they both warmed right up to Vanessa when they met her. I would highly recommend her!”

“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of Apollo. We came home and it was like we never left. She went above and beyond what was expected of her. It’s always nice to not have to worry about your animals while being away. Thank you for being awesome Lisa.”

About: I have taken care of several dogs growing up. I always hit it off with pets from the first time meeting them that people say “Have you met them before?” I love the good energy dogs always give off. I am a healthy active person so I will be able to keep up with energetic dogs but I’m also a laid back person so if you dog just wants to chill k can do that too!! I currently work part time on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I am active and work out 5-6 times a week so if you want your dog to get a run in I can do that as well. Anyway they need it. Rather it be playing or walking or cleaning whatever. I will stay in designated areas and will not over step any boundaries set

“Trez’Sheer did an excellent job watching my dog. Moose is complicated; he is a senior dog with many special needs. He is a fully blind, partially deaf dog with anxiety. He also takes nighty medication. Trez’Sheer handled all his needs well. She communicated with me daily and quickly whenever I reached out to check in. She stayed in my home, kept my house tidy, and treated my home and dog respectfully. I’d use Trez’Sheer’s pet sitting services in the future if she is willing to put up with Moose again. I was anxious about leaving Moose for eight days, but he was in good hands with Trez’Sheer.”
