GROOMING SERVICES
Grooming services are available either in
your home or at my home.
Prices and services can be discussed at time of request.
BOARDING AND HOUSE
SITTING SERVICES
Dogs are
picked up and delivered at your convenience.
Since
boarding in my home is a small, intimate environment for
your pet, dogs must be crate trained for feeding and
sleeping times and be able to be around other dogs and cats.
AGGRESSIVE DOGS CAN NOT BE BOARDED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
Special consideration given for toy breeds, older dogs, and
young puppies.
Boarding
in my home is limited to a small number of dogs at a time so
booking early is recommended. Pick up and delivery on
holidays is available but will be charged at double the
normal rate for that day. A going home bath is always
included, Extra grooming will be charged accordingly.
BOARDING RATES
$30 PER DAY
(day of pick up and day of delivery are charged as a day of
boarding)
ANY VET BILLS ARE
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. IF GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY, A
CREDIT CARD ON FILE AT YOUR VET IS NECESSARY
HOUSE SITTING
CHARGE $ 60 PER DAY

SITTING)
