ROVER RULES
Due to COVID-19, the following changes will be made to follow CDC safety guidelines for all services. We are practicing social distancing of at least 6ft, will use our supplies whenever possible, and require guest dogs and their belongings to be freshly washed when they show up for daycare and B&B. Please be sure nails are trimmed as well. A bath will still be given prior to check-out as needed or requested. Please see the updated supply list below.
For visits and stays in your home, we will follow the same hygienic practices that we always have, adding the use of disinfectant, hand sanitizer, and anything needed to keep you safe.
Thank you for your support. As always, I am here to help in any way that I can. ❤
Meet n' Greet
Our first meeting is a casual get together for us to get to know each other and talk about your pets and their daily routine. Initial meet is free. Subsequent visits are charged at regular rates.
Please allow time for a walk as needed, and have a key or entry instructions ready, otherwise a travel fee may apply for pickup and return of your key.
For the safety of your pets, keys are not left in the home after service as there would be no way to provide care if you're unable to return home as scheduled.
When meeting in our home, please be sure your pup has a potty break and is brought in on leash (unless they do better meeting new dogs and people off leash). Please let me know before we meet. Thank you.
Supplies
Required items include a collar or harness with current ID (we attach ID as well), enough food for the stay, and medical records to view.
Along with the above, please provide cleaning supplies and items needed for the care of your home when in-home services are requested.
Food, treats, and toys are given with supervision (some exceptions apply).
Services
Services include consultations, in-home visits, hotel/vacation rental stays, extended daytime stays, overnight stays, vacation care, special occasion pet nanny and handler, and on-call care for families with pets.
On-call care can include pre and post pregnancy, illness, surgery, caring for a loved one, long work hours or delay keeping you from home. Please give as much notice as possible.
If there's something that you want me to do, please ask. I'll do what I can to make it happen.
