QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What services do you provide?
Dog walks, fur babe check ins, puppy playtime daycare, overnight sleepovers, and wedding bundles. More information on all services can be found on the Services page.
What is included in the walks?
Walks are all 30 minutes. They can follow a pre-determined path if necessary. The only time a pre-determined path may be changed is due to my safety and comfort. This is not a common occurance.
What are the hours for daycare?
Daycare is at my house generally from 8a-5p, but alternate times are available on a case to case basis. Drop off is from 8-9 AM and pick up is from 4-5 PM. Early drop offs and late pick ups are available for an upcharge unless otherwise agreed upon.
Do you have insurance in case anything happens while my babe is in your care?
Yes. A copy of the current year's can be found here.
Do you only have dogs stay overnight?
Yes.
How do you keep an eye on the babes at your house when you're not at home?
I have cameras inside and outside my house. All have the speaker feature that allows me to talk to the babes.
How much is everything?
All prices can be found on the Services page. Some services have additional up charges or are determined on a case to case basis.
What is the general layout of Puppy Playtime Daycare?
All pups have free access to specific rooms in my house and my backyard. I have a 6 foot privacy fence with a locked gate. This fence is CricketPearl proof. She is my Houdini of darlings. Continuous access to the yard is given through a dog door. Any rooms that pups have access to is baby/fur babe-proofed and all other rooms are unaccessible to pups.
Are pups from multiple families mixed for daycare and sleepovers?
Yes. Only under specific circumstances is a pup or single family of pups cared for without other pup families. The mix allows for a more enjoyable puppy playtime.
Who are you?
I'm Susan or SuMac, whichever you prefer. You can find information about me and how I got to where I am on the About Me page
How do you access the home for walks or drop in visits?
I go with whatever the parent is comfortable with. I have several families that give me a copy of their key or code for the door or garage to use when needed. Other parents either hide a key for me or we meet up before trips for a key exchange.
Can you stay overnight at my house if I have a bb that's not a dog?
Yes. Overnight stays at the fur babes' house have an additional upcharge.
Do you have cutie fur babe photos?
Yes! Photos available for the general public can be found on the Gimme them bb pics page. Parent-fur babe photos are given personal links.
Do I need to send toys for daycare or sleepovers?
No. A plethora of toys and bones are available for all bbs.
What is included in the wedding bundle?
Prices and services are determined after meeting with the bride and groom.
How do you determine safety of pups and mixing of personalities?
The initial determination is based on my interactions with the pups and matching of personalities. Once that is determined, the pup is first introduced to my babes, Homer and CricketPearl. They are then individually introduced to all pups that are at the house. If there are any issues, I have specific rooms available for separation of any pups. A rotation of rooms and outside time is then implemented. This is not a common occurance.
How can I pay you?
I accept cash, check, Venmo, ApplePay, Zelle, and PayPal.
I'm an anxious nelly; how can I see that my bb is taken care of?
I take SO MANY photos of all the babes I take care of. I create shared albums through my iCloud that show updates on iPhones or can be accessed with a specific URL. I generally try to update the albums every day, but I don't always manage to stay on schedule. I never mind texts asking how your bb is. I am the *exact* same way when it comes to my babes.
