Let’s work together

Interested in working together? Fill out some info and we will be in touch shortly! We can't wait to hear from you!

Please be advised that, due to the nature of this work, more than one client/household may be taken at a time if dogs are calm and compatible.

A reservation deposit of $200-$500 is required to secure your dates, depending on the length, location, and scope of care. Deposits are applied toward your total balance and are non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.

Travel & Destination Care: For bookings outside the local service area, the client is responsible for all agreed-upon travel and transportation , and other necessary travel costs. For destination stays where CDG travels without a personal vehicle, a suitable vehicle must be available for use throughout the day, ensuring reliable transportation for the pets’ daily care and immediate access in the event of an emergency.

Local Service Area: (Defined as drivable from the CDG home base in Metro Denver, CO.) Due to the private, in-home nature of overnight care, CDG requests that one garage space be made available for a mid-size vehicle for the duration of the stay. This helps ensure safe, secure interior loading/unloading of the pets and CDG personnel eliminating theft and vehicle break-in potential, and protects all from Colorado’s ever-changing weather… snow, hail, summer sun and everything in between.

Holidays & Peak Dates: Holiday and peak-period bookings are subject to premium rates.

Day bookings (prices depend on the nature, size, and needs of the dog’s).

Overnight stays - again depending on the nature, size, and needs of the dog’s.

Rates for additional animals are determined by number of animals and their individual care needs per day.

Medication application, prescription pick up, veterinarian visits, etc. are customarily an à la carte add-on to the daily charges.

The CDG reserves the right to apply best judgment regarding animal medical care and making any determinations to take an animal to veterinarian care as deemed warranted.

The Dog Guru understands that the dogs are more than just pets, they are beloved family members that deserve the best of care. Safety is always first and your dog is monitored to insure optimal tail wagging.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Jayme has been involved with animals and house-sitting for over 30 years.

Typically, the preference is to have the pets stay in their own home environment, however Jayme does board at her family’s home in certain circumstances. Jayme and Tim do not own dogs, but will happily provide socialization for dogs who respond well.

The first step to securing an assignment with The Dog Guru is an in-home interview. During this interview Jayme and her husband Tim, a local businessman that accompanies Jayme on all overnight assignments, sit down with the pet owners and the pets to get to know each other.

Jayme is selective during this screening and is very thorough in all forms of due diligence ensuring that the arrangement will be a good fit for everyone involved. Comfort is the key - pets are already stressed enough when their humans are away… keeping them calm, safe, secure, and confident are Jayme’s specialties!
