1)Do not begin boarding your dogs with the dog sitter during the night. They may find lesser time to adjust to the place before bedtime. Trying boarding them in the early afternoon.
2) Do not bring too many doggies' stuff like toys,those huge beds etc. Reasons are other dogs may pee on them and besides your dogs would hardly play with those toys.
3) Supply dog sitters with pee pads if your dogs are pee pad-trained.
4) Make sure the collars,harness and leashes are strong and in good order because your dogs may run away should any of those stuff failed during walks.
5)Do not bargain over the boarding fees especially if that particular dog sitter's services are in great demand. If you think his fees is too high and you can't afford to pay,check your pet into a pet hotel or some 3rd graded partime dog sitters.
6) Be nice to your dog sitter and do not give too many instructions. Please write down your instruction if you consider them improtant.

It's alright to ask for discount?
A few dog owners asked for discount when boarding their pet dogs with us. It's perfectly alright to ask for discount but over here we are not selling a commodity. We are devoting our time,care and love to the pets,24 hours a day,7 days a week (24/7)and this sort of thing cannot be measured in monetary terms. If one feels the fees is too high, it is best they put their dogs with friends,relatives or a cheap kennel.
We dogsitters sometimes are awake the whole night because some newly boarded dogs cannot adjust themselves here especially the first night. We understand their emotional state and even cuddled and put them in our bed to sleep with us. These dogs need alot of love and reassurances. We strive to give our best and that's why many of our boarders want to come back here over and over again.
Many dog owners have told us that each time when the vehicles turn the corner to our place,their pets would be wagging their tails,knowing they would be showered with love at our house. Some don't even want to go home when their owners came to fetch them after their vacation. One owner even told us she was very jealous because her Yorkie preferred us to her. She later corrected herself and said she was very happy because she knew her pet would be in extremely good hands when she and her family are away.
We have to admit that not all of our customers bargain nor ask for discount.
