I have been brought up around dogs my whole life. I left school and worked in my local boarding kennels and loved meeting all the characters of the doggy world. I was very fortunate to purchase my parents 6 acre small holding 10 years ago which is fully fenced with a beautiful lake which our own dogs and guest dogs use to swim. All dogs are welcome into our farmhouse with stone floors and log fires . I can accommodate and understand all varied diets and have large freezer space for frozen dog foods . I understand dogs on a natural and alpha level and my calm and holistic approach as did my mother and grandmother who passed on her advanced knowledge to myself. I ask that previously to your dogs stay you take the time to meet and greet so the dog is familiar with their surroundings when they are left for a smoother transition while your away . I try to accommodate everyone's wishes and understand that life throws us obstacles so good communication is important if timings need to be changed . It's in the best interests for the dog that they have their own bedding and bowls , so familiar objects help them settle. Offer picking up and dropping off service at an small extra cost.
