Updates!
I have had a tremendously difficult summer in regards to pickup and drop off times. Lots of late arrivals, early arrivals, no ETA’s, no updates for late arrivals, and showing up at your own discretion.
Whenever you schedule your dropoff/pickup times, I schedule the rest of my day around that. I schedule others around you. I schedule the dogs day around that. Whenever I prepare for your arrival, I secure the dogs in advance. So to put in perspective, what should have only been 15 minutes, has now turned into 30 minutes of the dogs being kenneled and secured, because you were 15 minutes late. I secure the dogs 15 minutes in advance based off your ETA in order to have them kenneled for the least amount of time possible, without rushing an arrival, and causing chaos and stress amongst the dogs.
If you arrive early, and I have dogs out, they are too exited to want to come inside and therefore cause a distraction, and chaos. Also some may be surprised by this, but 99% of the dogs in my care, are protective of their yard. They consider my home their home, and their space. So when a stranger is at the gate, half the time all they think is “stranger danger.”
All of this has to come to an end, in order for me to continue managing everything smoothly. Although I do have assistants, I do everything from scheduling, managing, and making sure the dogs are cared for. My assistants are solely here to help me care for your dogs, and assist in arrivals if I’m unavailable. I hope you can understand why it is important for you to arrive at your scheduled time, I understand that things happen, and all I ask from you in those situations is communication.
Some other things to note:
Vaccine Reminders: please send your records in. If you have an account with paw partner, the site automatically sends you vaccine reminders.
Reservations: Boarding runs in 24hr periods starting at the time of service. I’ve always had it this way. Please respect my time, and schedule accordingly. If you schedule pickup anytime after the 24hr period, the additional care will be charged.
Updates will be sent as I am able. I have a high demand for responses and I get back to everyone as I can.
Many know I take intact pets! I respect your decision to not spay/neuter, at yours and your vets discretion. Although I allow intact pets, restrictions will start being put in place.
A lot of intact pets create behavioral issues amongst groups of other pets. For this reason, to prevent unwanted behaviors like hu***ng and aggression, if your pets display any of these behaviors, they will be removed from play groups, and put on one on one care, or with other pets from your own household.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.
Open communication is the best way to work with me.
I will be sharing a few more updates soon.
