Information Amy N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if they are up to date on their vaccines (including bordetella) and provide proof. Let me know if they have a special diet or any restrictions or allergies. I don't have a breed preference. I enjoy pups of all personalities. Also, let me know if they get along with other dogs as there will be other friends here. Please no aggressive dogs or dogs with separation issues.

A typical day

I have a half an acre yard where we will have plenty of room to roam. It's not fenced but I do have a tie out on a 70 foot run. Our finished basement is their play house. There's space to run, wrestle or relax. They can run around all day with plenty of toys.

Pet care experience

Please read... There are always dogs here whether for daycare or overnight or my own dog so they MUST GET ALONG WITH OTHER DOGS. Please provide vaccine records including bordetella. Not taking vocal dogs at this time, I have a newborn so excessive barking is not ideal. If you are requesting care for a new dog I do encourage a meet and greet. I will not take a 1st time dog on the same day. I do not allow aggressive, scared or dogs with separation anxiety for the safety of ALL dogs. I love caring for my own dog as well as friends and family's pups. My husband, son and I have a black lab/ blue heeler mix that follows my every move. He is good around dogs and willing to share his toys and space with friends. My son calls him his dog brother because he's a family member. I have a very large yard so there is plenty of room to run and play! Lots of open space to play inside as well. I am home during the day so I can play more and keep you informed. I will be sure to provide lots of exercise so they will be wore out! Our home is close to 279 & 65 and minutes from downtown. I am home full time to look after pups whether it's daycare or overnight stays. I am available for daycare Mon- Fri until 5/6pm. Overnight stays I'm typically available 7 days a week. I let all dogs sniff around first to get acclimated as well as sniff any other Dog 1 at a time to introduce. All dogs are fed separately. Everyone has their own hang out space if needed. I have gates and crates with doors open and blankets and beds for relaxing. The dogs are able to roam, relax and/or play all day. They are only separated for feeding time or if I have to leave and they are not already friends ( many of the dogs here are well acquainted and I leave them together). We go outside pretty often to walk around and use the potty especially depending on water consumption. If I leave for any reason and am unsure how the dogs here will be together then they will be in separate areas. Male dogs who mark their territory will have to wear a belly band inside.

Highly recommend Amy for your dog boarding needs. She took care of our 6 year old beagle over an extended weekend and the experience was great. Meet-up, Drop-off and Pick-up was easy and communication was great. She sent us regular updates as well that’s always a comfort when staying away from our dog.

Amy was very flexible when our travel plans had to change at the last minute and kept our Lucy an extra night. She sent daily updates and I could tell that they had lots of fun playtime!

Our dog Cody stayed with Amy this past weekend while we were away. He had a good time playing with the other dogs there for the weekend and came home tired and happy. Thank you Amy!
