I have raised dogs of all sizes and breeds especially puppies most of my life. I grew up on a horse farm in upstate N.Y. so I'm familiar with working with many animals. Dogs have always been my favorite. I treat them like small humans because to me they are. I always try to understand what the dog is feeling whether it's separation anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or just playful. I know being in an unfamiliar place away from there owner can be scary at first so I only board one dog at a time. This way I can give your dog the care and all the attention they deserve. I would only leave my dog with the best and all dogs are treated like my own. I am home all day and am very flexible with hours. l have a large fenced in yard that my own dogs love to play in with dogs I watch. I live near two parks one of which is off leash. Your dog will have plenty of play time as well as belly rubs. I love what I which shows with every dog I watch.My main goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as possibe in a loving environment. I realize each dog has their own unique personality but that's something I love most about my furry friends. I range from taking care of puppies to elderly dogs. I'll work with your schedule at your house or mine. I know everyone has hectic schedules and worry about the care there animal will have. I enjoy hiking with dogs, taking them to parks, playing fetch in my backyard or just snuggling on the couch. I know routines are important especially with puppies as they're learning so I always adhere to the owners wishes. Your dog's and I will have a great time and I'll always send you photo's and updates on how they're doing..
