FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $30/dog/day to board at my home. If a dog is a puppy, energetic, or high maintenance the rate is $35/dog/day. I will also have to charge extra for dogs that have numerous potty accidents in the house. I occasionally get requests to board cats - $10/cat/day at my home. Currently I my business is limited to my home. I do not go to another home to feed or walk. Contact me if you want me to spend the night - I do it on a very limited basis.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always appreciate new customers! I require a "meet and greet" with my new owners at my home to learn more about their dogs and see if it looks like a good fit. I'll explain my policies and what I need to ensure the dog has a great visit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Experience - I've been dog sitting since 2014. I started with my daughter Jenny when she in middle school. We both loved dogs and it was a great way to have an income and keep the flexibility we need. Jenny worked one year at Ruff Housing and got an lot of experience there. Now my daughter Emily lives with me; she loves animals and has volunteered at the Humane Society.
