Overview and FAQ’s!
With over 30 years of petcare experience, my love for animals and the services I provide have only grown :) Currently, I provide Doggie Daycare, Doggie Hotel, Pet Feedings & Drop-In’s (which can include medications), Dog Walks, and House Sitting/Plant Waterings! Here’s a few FAQ’s you may have before booking with me:
Q: Do you take cats and other small animals?
A: Yes! I also take cats, gerbils, iguanas, and more for drop-ins. Drop-ins can include feedings, medications, play, etc— whatever your pet needs!
Q: Are you able to take dogs who don’t play well with others?
A: Unfortunately, I can’t take dogs that don’t do well in group settings for Doggie Daycare/Hotel when there are other dogs booked—we want to make sure everyone feels safe and can have fun together! However, please check in anyway in case I don’t have other dogs booked for that day/night! Also, I can still do walks and other solo care like feedings/drop-in’s!
Q: How can I ensure my pet’s safety in your care?
A: It can be stressful leaving your fur baby with a new sitter! Thankfully, I’m background-checked, insured, and have lots of reviews from happy customers through Rover. I also upload pictures and videos of my client’s pets daily to my Instagram, so that you can check in on them at your convenience :)
Reach out to me (at the contact sheet on bottom of my home page) for more details, prices, and to book your next care session!
Doggie Daycare
Help your dog become more well-rounded by socializing with other pups at my daycare! They will be walked, go to the park, and then get to relax after a long day of fun.
Vaccinations (for rabies, bordetella, and parvo) and flea medication/flea collars required. Pet parents must provide me with proof of vaccine paperwork before booking.
Dog training and trick practice available by request!
If your pet needs to be fed, please provide me with their meal when you drop them off, as well as instructions about their diet and any allergies/food restrictions.
All pets will be fed in separate rooms to guard against food aggression
Bookings available for as short as an afternoon and as long as multiple months! Ask me about my special rates for long-term care on vacations, etc.
Please let me know if your dog has any quirks, special needs, or aggressions, i.e. if they’re a “runner”, are afraid of drains or men, have food or ball aggression, can’t meet other dogs on leash, etc.
Doggie Hotel
As a small business, your pet will have more personalized, one-on-one attention than at a big chain or care center.
They may sleep wherever they like in my house (including couches, dog beds, etc.)! It’s just me and your pup alone at night, but during the day they have an opportunity to socialize with the daycare pack before you pick them up.
The same requirements for Doggie Daycare apply to my Doggie Hotel clients.
Pet Feedings & Drop-In’s
Maybe your pet prefers to stay in your home— that’s ok! I will come and give them some play, bring toys, medicate them, walk them, or whatever they need. This service isn’t just for dogs! I’ve worked with cats, gerbils, iguanas, hamsters, and more! See below for details about medications.
Dog Walks
Walks can be half an hour, an hour, or whatever your dog needs! They will most likely have other dogs walking with them, but if you prefer solo walks, they can be alone.
Medications
I am experienced in administering medications to all kinds of pets, including cats, gerbils, dogs, and more! This can be a part of my drop-in petcare service, by request— just show me how you like to medicate them at my first visit.
House Sitting/Plant Waterings
Going away and want someone to check on your plant babies as well as your fur babies? As a plant parent myself, I know that leaving your plants can be stressful! You can’t always count on your friend to give the exact amount of water that you had written down ever so preciously, causing anxiety!
Well, don’t worry— I will call them by their individual names, and give them whatever they need. I can also sort your mail and bring in Amazon packages!
