My grandparents were always rescuing strays, having up to 10 dogs and 2 cats on their property for some time. They treated every single one as their child and this was heavily instilled in me growing up. I've been around animals my whole life, even being nicknamed Snow White because I always had them following me home. Taking care of dogs is my passion, it is what I'm studying and want to have as
a full time career.
I worked in a daycare/boarding facility just over a year and it was probably the best job I've ever had. We usually cared for about 100 dogs in a day, all breeds and sizes, and knew each one by name. It may seem difficult, but once you understand that just like people they have their own personalities, it's actually very easy to tell them apart. There was some basic grooming taken care of there as well so I'm capable and happy to provide that service if desired. (see information below)
Personally, I am a pet parent of two. I refer to them as puppies, even though that stage passed a long time ago, because that's what they are to me. It's the same affection I will provide to every dog in my care. I have a cozy apartment not far from a small dog park. If you're comfortable I can take your baby there. If not, that is ok, I'm happy to accommodate my care to your preferences within reason. Working at the daycare I understand and strictly adhere to any dietary or medical needs ( allergies, pills, schedule, etc) I have a bin full dog toys of all sorts and my pups are happy to have company to play with them. All areas and furniture is open to your fur babies. Any questions or concerns please let me know.
I do have a part time job so there may be times that I will be gone for about 4 hours. This is during morning hours only (usually starting after 5:30a) but unfortunately I don't have set days. So for any services please reach out so we can schedule accordingly and I can best make myself available to you and your pup.
With that in mind here are the hours:
Daycare/Overnight stays
-Pick ups/Drop offs no earlier than 5am or later than 8pm. I understand that there are unforeseen circumstances and I am flexible but please communicate that with me.
-On working days Pick ups/ Drop offs cannot be accepted from 5:30am-12pm (noon) I do require that you have provided your dog/s a bathroom break if they are being dropped off before I go into work.
Pet sitting and Check ins
-The schedule is more on your terms just keep in mind that it is possible between 4-6 hours in the day I will not be available due to work. I will communicate that schedule as needed. Check ins are from 30min - 2hrs max
Baths
FYI: I only utilize organic products meant for animal use but you can provide your own if preferred. Prices listed are the total per dog. Please keep in mind I am not a professional groomer but I do have professional experience with the services I am providing. I want this to be a pleasant experience for your pup. If you are aware that your dog is scared of any of these steps and wish to exclude one from any of the bath options please let me know. I am happy to discount the price if that is the case, but I have to made aware prior to the bath.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:The safety of your dog and myself comes first. Professional groomers are equipped with tools to assist fearful or bath aggressive dogs; I am not. I work in a very calm and loving manner, and will do my best to ease your pup as best as I can. I love animals and their well being is most important to me. Unfortunately, if your pet freaks out, attempts to bite, or does bite me the service stops ASAP, I will contact you to pick up and there will be no refund.
