Safety,Trust and Environment Safety: We understand how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pet while you are on a trip. Thats why we put safety as our number one priority. We have taken coursework through IBPSA(International Boarding and Pet Services Association) in dog behavior, dog temperament, and sanitation/prevention of canine diseases. As well as been CPR and First Aid trained for Canines. We also never leave pets unattended since we know that a pet can be injured within a matter of minutes. Trust: We believe that it is very important for you and your pet to trust us. We require meet and greets for all first time clients so that we can answer all questions and be able to meet your dog. This gives your dog a sense of familiarity and comfort once they return for their stay. Environment: This is big for us, we are not a large scale boarding place but instead a home focused one. Our home is comfortable and safe for the pups. We have designed it to be open and have plenty of cots and dog beds. We also have large stainless steel bowls of water for the pups at all times. Your fur babies will have access to our main living areas and rooms during the day (excluding our bathrooms/laundry room/kitchen) and will be crated overnight. We have found that using a kennel over night rather than nightly free roam provides the most security and safety for yours and our fur babies. Some clients prefer to not crate due to their home routine and/or crate anxiety. We need to make sure that all pups boarded are crate trained and are not prone to severe separation anxiety as this may lead to overnight injury. We also have a HUGE gated backyard where the pups have potty breaks. But we also have playtime and love sitting out on the patio with the pups. We enjoy playing fetch with the pups and on warm days having a water day.

Typical Day: We are up with the dogs each day by 6am unless it is the weekends then we are up by 8:30am. Then we will do walks for our clients that allow us to take their pup on a walk. Then we usually feed the dogs however we try to keep all our clients dogs on their specific schedule so that they don't have an upset stomach. Then we have playtime and usually some of the pups nap around this time. I also do playtime and regular potty breaks outside and in the summers we may even do water activities. Then I normally do an enrichment activity in the late afternoon. During the afternoon I will make occasional calls since I work from home (Only half days) but I have my office desk set up right in our dog play room so I will be in the same room with them. Then by evenings Zach is home and we sometimes do an evening walk and dinner time for the pups. As well as potty breaks. And we wrap the evening up by 10/11:30pm.
