I have been a professional pet sitter, dog walker, and have been providing boarding in my home since 2009. I love animals and being around them everyday is truly a pleasure. I have clients that I've been boarding since 2009, many several time per year, continue to come back and allow me to care for their dogs in my home. I am truly grateful for their trust. I love what I do! In my home we are all huge dog lovers. Our doggie guests have access to our entire home, they are never crated, unless a crate is part of their normal routine at home. We want them to be as comfortable as possible without disturbing their daily routine, so unless you are already using a crate at home, I will not use one. Your dog must be up to date on all vaccines, house-trained, and get along with other dogs as well as children. All pups have access to our big backyard to run around and you can be sure they will have tons of fun! While you're away on your vacation - your pups will be having a fun vacation of their own!! My experience administering medication: Pill form only.
