Hello! I’m Phoebe. I am living in a 4rm HDB flat in the Tampines. I have volunteered at a shelter and have experience with dogs of most breeds, size and age. Prior dog training classes have helped me interact better with pets that may be abit timid or shy with new individuals. I grew up with a lovely Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Our resident pup is a 11-mth old female Malshi named Peach. Peach is well socialised as we've been sending her to weekly puppy socialisation classes since she was 3mths old. She loves having both doggie and human guests over and you can trust her to be a great host.
My husband, Max, will also be involved in the dog sitting. He also has experience with caring for dogs as he grew up with a Singapore Special. Both of us currently work from home. We have a helper to ensure the cleanliness of our place. At least 1 of us will be home at all times during daycare so you can be sure they will have our full attention.
In consideration of Peach, we are currently only accepting:
-dogs less than 8kg
-dogs fully vaccinated (please send me pics of vaccine records)
-dogs on fleas and ticks protection
-neutered male dogs
-dogs okay with being in a playpen
-non-aggressive doggos
-puppies older than 5months
A typical day with us starts with breakfast followed by a pack walk; be it 5 min or 45 min we will be able to accommodate to your request. My 4rm apartment is air conditioned. Your pup will have free roam of the house except the Master bed room. In the afternoons, the pups can nap to soothing music after a fun game of fetch. I have abit of a shopping addiction LOL so Peach has plenty of toys to share. Unless weather forbids, the pups will go on a late afternoon/evening walk before dinner.
For boarding pups, they will be allowed to sleep in the master bed room with the humans. We have plenty of doggy beds and also blankets for them.
I will update you with photos and videos to know they are in the best care. At the moment, I only dog sit up to 2 dogs at a time so your dog will get plenty of cuddles and love!
On weekends, we will most certainly take Peach outdoors (swimming/hikes). If your pup is over at daycare on Sat/sun please allow consent for outdoor activities. I can socialize your dog not only with mine, but other dogs in my social network. For paid activities eg. Mutts & Mittens swimming, we will gladly bring your pup there if you are willing to pay for the session.
Daycare: drop off will be at 8AM and pick up will be at 630pm.
***I charge a early drop off fee of $10 for any drop off before 8:00AM and a late pick up fee of $10 for every hour after 6:30PM.***
Prior to daycare, I will arrange a session to leave your pup alone at my place for 15-30min to assess for separation anxiety. Please understand that this is necessary as I only want the best experience for your pup. Would also appreciate if you share with me some behavioural issues your pup may have.
I also offer pick up and drop off transport at a fee.
I’m STRICTLY not taking any boarding requests unless your dog has been over for daycare and is good buddies with Peach :) such requests will be ignored.
If you are interested for your pup to hang out with us, feel free to drop me a msg!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) Owners have to take full responsibility if your pup bites or attacks humans/pets during their stay.
2) Dogs with SEVERE separation anxiety (Howling, barking or whining non stop for hours, destructive behavior) should seek professional corrective help. These behaviors are out of my control to rectify and take a long time to correct.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
I had my Malshi boarding for 2 nights at Phoebe’s house and she took great care of my puppy with frequent updates in texts, videos and photos. My puppy played well with her Malshi too and saw that he enjoyed himself with a playmate. Phoebe even brought my puppy to swim and shared tips on food for my puppy as he has not been eating well. Thank you so much for your help and will definitely look for you again.
Phoebe has been a responsible dog sitter and has been constantly updating us on our dog. She includes playtime, training and sleep time for our puppy.
