My focus is long-term relationships, where I am the primary caretaker outside of the family. Does that match your needs?*
I do take 2-4 month old puppies, to start onboarding. However, I am unable to take unfixed dogs past 4 months. Is your dog fixed? A fix at 1 year is most appropriate to join my services. I will have referrals for dogs that are delaying the fix.*
Do you have upcoming boarding needs? What are the dates including your leave and return time from the home, so I can check my availability?*
Are you interested in weekly year round 5 hour playgroups with transportation from your home to mine? If so, what days would be ideal, if I had a good grouping to offer?*
How did you hear about me?*
Have you ever used a professional animal care provider before? How did that go?*
What is your full name and address? My business model runs off your property with pick up and delivery within a 2 to 4 hour window. I serve like a house sitter and unlock and lock the home. You don't necessarily need to be home.*
What is a number or numbers I can text to get a chat going for good communication? Pictures helpful on text as a visual!*
How much does your dog weigh? My space is sized for dogs from 10 to 90 lbs in a communal group. I have referrals for larger breeds.*
Dog's name*
Male or female?*
How old is your dog? At what age did your pup start with your family? What kinds of previous history should I know about?*
What breed or mix would you say your dog is? This bred in behavior generally comes out in the in-person trial. There are some breeds I cannot take. I have referrals for those breeds and behaviors that do not work in a large pack and home.*
Tell me about the home/family dynamics - who lives/cares for your dog and does the training? Any small animals in the home? Any children?*
What training formal or otherwise has your dog had? Has this training been consistent resulting in a "trained" dog in your opinion - what are areas of work?*
Would you say your dog could safely live with a dog pack without anxiety or aggression if the pack was well balanced and gentle energy? With strong leaders?*
What experience has your dog had away from you overnight? How did that go?*
On a scale of 1 to 10 what level of anxiety does your dog have in new situations? And without you*
How is your dog in the car?*
Does your dog exhibit demanding behaviors like barking or whining outside the normal one time alert bark or playful low vocalizations during play? On a scale of 1 to 10 how extreme is the demand?*
Does your dog bark, growl, snap or lunge at other dogs? If this happens, your dog will need training off my property prior to care. This will not work in a large pack setting. I have referrals.*
Is your dog able to be left alone with no leader (outside in the yard for example) without barking, pacing, chewing, or other forms of separation anxiety?*
Is your dog crate trained? I have crates, but they are only used for puppy potty training, solitude for elderly, inability to settle with the pack or anti-social behaviors for an emergency safety net.*
Any medical issues to note? Does your dog require meds? What are the meds for? Does your dog have a vet?*
Does your dog have any feeding issues or require a special diet or regimen?*
Would you consider your dog to be low, medium or high energy? How much exercise do they need to maintain good boundaries and manners on a usual day?*
What is a negative behavior you are working on with your pup currently? I can help with certain behaviors.*
Do you feel your dog could be gentle with a dog as small as 10 lbs while in an outside yard? Does your dog have body and impulse control to accomplish this?*
Is your dog able to be safely left alone in a puppy proof room for a few hours with other dogs? Any chewing, barking, pacing, getting up on doors, inability to settle behind a door would need to be ruled out here. Ability to sleep with other dogs.*
If you have a bonded pair or multiple dogs in the home, do they all get along peacefully?*
This is a transportation model or grab and go at your home using a key or code. Would this fit into your idea of care? Referrals available for alternatives.*
What is your email address to send my booking, cancellation, refund and closure policy documents as well as a medical proxy?*
If this application is a match, please share any scheduling limits over the next 2-4 weeks. I'd like to visit your home, meet you, and pick up your pup for a paid overnight trial. A virtual tour can be provided beforehand or during the trial.*
