Is there anything extra I can do to help your pup ease into his/her visit with us? Would you like to arrange a meeting for a walk and greet? Does your dog(s) have any special needs or behavioral traits that I can prepare for ahead of our visit? Are there any situations I can avoid that may make him/her feel comfortable? Likes or dislikes? Is your dog up-to-date with shots and other wellness vet visits? Rabies, kennel cough, and monthly flea & tick vaccine (oral, topical, or collar) For puppies sake - DHPP vaccine (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus). Is your dog(s) aggressive towards other pets, people, children? I will always have other dogs here, my cat, and occasionally my 6 year old niece visits. Does your dog have some basic training? Boarding: I request one overnight trial run for dogs who have never boarded with me. This allows us to introduce pets to each other, see how the dogs play, eat, and sleep together. It's best to be sure everyone is happy and comfortable before committing to a several day stay. Dog Sitting: I highly recommend a meet and greet prior to all day stays. We love puppies so much! For now I am only taking puppies for daytime doggy-sitting. Please let me know where your pup is with potty training so I can continue a similar training plan while they are staying here.

We will take walks in our neighborhood and rides to a park 5 minutes away for longer walks and visits with other pups. We will hike together on trails in our town and surrounding towns to explore and get our toes wet in the streams, ponds and lakes. Roary and I love to play games with our guests in the backyard ~ he's more likely to chase and play keep away than actually fetch a toy or ball :) Roary is a huge fan of splashing and finding toys in our shallow cement pond. He also loves to show off his trampoline skills (only when supervised). We are forever filling in holes because he's looking for treasure with his friends!
