Miss Gracie is all grown up from the last time I walked her and she had a fabulous time with me today!

After a very long hiatus, this pretty girl is back on my route for as needed 30 min weekly walks. She had a lot of health and mobility issues when she started working with me and it’s so nice to see her feeling better after struggling for so long! 🥹

FYI for pet parents that use Rover to book with me!

You can finally tip as much as you want! I know folks were upset about only being able to tip so much. 😁

My rambunctious house sitting puppy, Saint, isn’t sure if he’s happy to see me or all that Friendsgiving food the pet sitter lady said wasn’t his 😆

I’ll be unavailable for additional bookings for the rest of the day to give me enough time to be a half decent friend, go to my last service, feed my critters, and make sure this silly boy is out of the crate long enough!

Happy Turkey Day 🦃

Just a FYI 🚨

We’ve seen this floating around social media platforms the past couple days….and we couldn’t agree more!! We’ve treated several cases of Pancreatitis in the last couple months so make sure those scraps aren’t shared and let’s keep our furry friends healthy! 🐶🐈🐾

I just received a last minute cancellation for 3 drop in visits on Thanksgiving and I now have scattered availability! Please keep in mind that I’m watching a puppy and have other services already scheduled and I may not be available during certain times of the day. I will not be booking services from 3-6 PM to allow me time to 1) ensure my puppy client gets outside and fed before I step out for a few hours and 2) ensure I can attend my friend’s house for dinner. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience!

BUT…

Are you planning to go away for Christmas? 🎄

Well, you’re in luck! I still have house sitting availability for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Believe it or not, Christmas has been booked twice and I’ve been cancelled on twice so let their loss be your gain! As always, I do not provide constant care and your pups need to be able to get through a full day of work in order to be eligible.

I also have a ton of availability for drop in visits and walks during the Christmas holiday! If I’m not booked for house sittings, I’ll be booking other services at high capacity. If you’re in need of a service, please plan early! Spots are first come, first served. Meet and greets are REQUIRED for new clients!

Thank you!

I’m only waiting on two more weekly regulars to confirm their bookings for this week and my schedule is pretty much made for the week.

I will not be accepting any more bookings for Tuesday, November 19th. Two of my girls will be getting their ultrasounds at some point that day and, although someone local is doing it and I don’t have to drive them to the vet, I just don’t want to overbook myself.

So sorry for any inconvenience! If you’re already booked for Tuesday, you’re booked!

If anyone is a PRIVATE client or wishes to only conduct business PRIVATELY, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not send me messages or request private payment through the rover app!

It puts me at risk of deactivation, which puts a significant amount of income at risk and leaves clients stranded when they need care.

Holiday house sitting availability ⬇️

Thanksgiving is BOOKED

✨ Christmas Eve and Christmas is OPEN ✨

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is BOOKED

✨ Valentine’s Day weekend is OPEN ✨
- I would prefer to only work with folks that are within a very close distance to Darlington, PA or folks with pets that are LOW MAINTENANCE since I will likely have as many as 2, possibly 3, goats that will be in their last month of pregnancy or within weeks of delivering. If I don’t book this weekend, I won’t be too unhappy about it.

This holiday availability is only for HOUSE SITTINGS. I’m available for all other services on a first come first serve basis. Please be aware that I will be busy with other clients if you’ll be booking a holiday! Your dog must be able to get through a full work day!

Also! I will begin blocking weekends off in 2025 for our show season once I have the full show schedule. I already have several dates that I’ll be blocking off.

Also, due to our upcoming kidding season (when goats have babies), I will not be accepting HOUSE SITTING requests after Valentine’s Day weekend until at least June (possibly May or part of May). I won’t know for sure how long I’ll be blocking months off until I know for sure if my youngest two does are confirmed bred. I will be AVAILABLE for all other services (drop in visits, dog walks, and farm care) and will be booking myself at full capacity to make up for the break from house sittings so please keep those other requests coming my way ❤️

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨

Any private client that books a HOUSE SITTING on or after 1/1/25 will owe a 50% REFUNDABLE deposit (up to 30 days before their booking) in order to be scheduled into my calendar. I will remain flexible with drop ins, walks, and farm care. Unfortunately, after losing approximately $4,000 this year to last minute cancellations (this is what I owe each year in quarterly taxes), I had to enforce stricter policies after years of “trusting” people to book the dates they requested me to hold. Sadly, I cannot operate like this any longer and deposits from private clients seeking house sittings will be required. Rover clients will still pay in full at the time they book and nothing will change for those that use the app!

Meet Thor!

I wasn’t supposed to see this boy until we ring in the new year together but I guess that was too long for this goofball to wait!

His mom is recovering from surgery so, for the next few weeks, he’ll be joining my weekly route of pups. We had our first service today and he had a blast walking with me around the farm! 🍁

I will not be scheduling any additional services for tomorrow, October 22nd.

Willow seems to have some very painful cheek swelling and chewing grain has become very uncomfortable for her, which has led to her going off feed today and feeling quite miserable. The earliest the vet could get me in is tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM and I’ve already moved my schedule around to make time for the appointment.

So very sorry for any inconvenience!

Everyone that is currently booked and/or meeting with me tomorrow is all ready to go and I’ll be in touch when I’m on my way!

10/19/2024

Hi, everyone! Once my WV house sitting ends tomorrow morning, I’m blocking off all services and taking the day off. I’m very busy today and can’t take any more bookings. Services will resume Monday! Sorry! I need a break!

Unfortunately, Buddy will suddenly be leaving my route of pups starting next week after a very long stretch of working with me. His last walk will be on Thursday.

I am going to take time today to check my rover inbox to make sure the folks I’ve recently turned away have found coverage since these weekly spots are in demand and fill up quickly. Once I make sure they’re covered, I’ll open this spot up to anyone who is interested.

He was walking with me twice a week, anytime between 9 AM and 11:30 AM, but I could probably fit in another morning walk/drop in M-F. His slot was a half hour.

I prefer to only book LOCAL pups for my route of recurring regulars since I’m booked back to back and any change in the travel time can make me late. I’m based in Darlington, PA and would like to stay within 6 miles or so.

Just a reminder for anyone interested in a recurring service. I provide pet care full time, meaning this is my job 7 days a week. Recurring services are not meant for folks that book once or twice a week and then again in a few weeks. They are solely meant for WORKING FAMILIES that desperately need care for their dogs/cats during the workday on a weekly basis. Anyone else will be booked on an as-needed basis depending on my availability.

Many dogs on my route have stayed with me for years. If you work away from the home and need regular recurring services for your fur baby, I can be contacted via email at [email protected], phone at (724)-312-1338, or messenger (this is unreliable since I don’t get notifications in time).

I’ve received an overwhelming amount of booking requests and messages this weekend! Unfortunately, I’m still packing and hauling my goats home from our last show of the year and won’t be able to respond until I arrive home and unload my animals.

I will be sending out my weekly schedule when I stop to get gas before I make the drive home!

Thank you all for your patience!

In a desperate attempt to prep 8 goats for our last two shows, I’m blocking off this weekend to additional bookings. If you’re already booked, you’re all set! I just really need to make sure everyone is prepped and my very busy schedule is preventing that from happening. I’ve desperately tried to do haircuts for days now without any luck and I still have a mountain of things to do at home.

So sorry for any inconvenience! I just need time to make them look good! Eating and sleeping would be nice too 😅

Services will resume normally on Monday! Just a reminder, I will be away all of September 27th-28th. I’ll also be away from early to mid-afternoon on October 4th through all of October 6th.

Thank you!!
