One of the dogs brought me a present this morning. It's still alive. Took it back out to the garage.

Made my first zero emission customer service calls this week. An electric bike that I charge with my solar system. Felt good and good exercise.

Happy dogs, happy home.

I've heard from more than one person who tried to contact me here. Apologies but I rarely check this page and don't advertise anywhere. Easiest way to reach me is to search Pawsatively Las Cruces on Google.

Summer rates are still in effect, though do be aware the entire month of September is already booked. October is filling up fast but I'm reserving an owner's weekend off to make a trip to Tombstone, AZ.

Due to the high temps I've had to make some changes to the routine here. I'm letting the dogs outside starting at 5 am and wrangling them back into the A/C between 10 and 11. Keeping the pool full and a water bowl by the front door.

Also have emergency power in case of a power outage. I've got two generators and two window A/C units in case of an extended power interruption. Those can be used here or at a customer's home if I'm providing in-home pet care. They're whisper quiet 2,000 watt generators so the neighbors won't complain about the noise.

Until the temps come down a little, no late afternoon pickups or drop offs.

Here's the current holiday schedule:

Memorial Day: Booked solid. Sorry.

4th of July - Dog party. This house has high thermal mass that dampens the sound of fireworks enough that it doesn't really bother the dogs. Plus we have treats, toys, calming music broadcast throughout the house and a lot of play time. Get a low dose of anti-anxiety med from your vet if your dog really freaks over fireworks, but not the kind that knocks them out for two days. A few reservations left for the weekend of the 4th.

05/20/2023

For the last minute callers...I'm sorry but Memorial weekend is completely booked, both in-home care and pet sitting in the customer's home are full. Unless there's a cancellation, we have no availability until the third week of June.

Just a reminder that Pawsatively doesn't really have holiday hours here. We're open pretty much all the time, unless I'm out on errands or closed because I'm out of town. When it comes to picking up your pet, that can be arranged 24/7. Travel has been a nightmare lately and, if your flight is delayed or you get held up by construction on the road, there's no reason to worry about picking up your pet by a certain time. You can just call me on the way over, even if it's late (or early), no problem.

I always want Pawsatively to be the one bright spot in your travel experience. The one thing that goes right. The one place that doesn't hit you with a raft of niggling fees or stop returning calls at inconvenient times. I intentionally keep my customer base small so I can provide the kind of personal service you can't get anywhere else. Most of my pet guests think of this as their second home. You can't enjoy your vacation if you're worried about your baby.

A couple reminders for anyone shopping for a pet sitting home. We can only accommodate small and medium size dogs that are social with other pets for overnight stays here at the house. We do accept the occasional large dog if they're exceptionally friendly. There are no cages or kennels here, all the dogs play together inside and out. Most of the dogs that stay here are well socialized and play together both here and the dog park.

For larger dogs or families with several pets, we can provide pet care in your home. That is the fastest growing service we offer and we have cared for dogs, cats, horses, pet birds and a variety of reptiles. Prices vary by how many pets need care but most fall into our standard rates of $60/day.

Summer is filling up fast and we just had our first booking for September!

01/20/2023

No rest for the wicked. Vacation has been rescheduled for February but I have someone here to cover for those who are already booked.

01/14/2023

We will be closed the last week of January for vacation. Boarding and in-home pet sitting will be unavailable from Jan. 18 to Jan. 31. We'll resume regular operations on Feb. 1.

Thanks for making 2022 a pawsatively awesome year. We've grown so much and we're due a little time off.

A little humor for our customers working on getting home.

12/28/2022

We currently have customers stuck in other states with no way to get home. This is why we never book completely to capacity. We always have a backup plan.

Just so you know, if there's ever a power outage or other emergency, we have generators and supplemental heat in the winter and AC in the summer for our fur friends.

12/28/2022

Any of our customers who are stuck due to a Southwest flight cancellation there is NO CHARGE for the extra time. You have enough on your mind without worrying about running up a bill with us. Get home safe and your babies will not be left without care under any circumstances!

You have to be careful when you open the car door here.

11/16/2022

Due to unusually high demand for in-home care, we've had to implement blackout dates for the holidays. There's a one day, non-refundable deposit required for bookings Nov. 19th to the 28th and December 16 through Jan. 2nd. That's in-home at your home only. For our dog guests staying here there's still no deposit required.

I've hired a sub-contractor to help with the in-home stays and she's booked almost the entire month of December. That just leaves me to split between here and any additional in-home care customers.

10/29/2022

We still have open slots for the holidays but don't wait to schedule. November is filling up fast. We have a few boarding slots open but the in-home care options are filling up fast.

If you're planning on holiday travel, book early.

Too funny not to share.
