Your dog will be treated like one of our own at home or when I come care for him or her! I have shared my life with a dog (or two or three!) since I was a child. We have been longtime pug owners (3 different pugs over 27 years), up until a couple of yeas ago when our 17 1/2 year old pug passed away. We now have a sweet rescued Shih tzu, but know another pug will be in our future too. If your beloved dog stays with us, he or she will enjoy a quiet day at home with me and my small dog, Nicky, during the week. On the weekends and evenings, your dog will have a happy & fun time as the rest of the family are home. I’m a stay at home mom to 3 daughters, ages 12, 12, and 16. They love dogs also and will give yours lots of sweet attention, but rest assured, they are gentle and know how to treat dogs and will respect their boundaries. : ) Your dog will be taken out on leash every few hours (or as you request), for potty breaks and taken on walks twice a day for exercise, if desired. Thank you for considering me and let me know if you have any questions. *Rates begin at listed price but may be adjusted for larger breeds, higher maintenance, pick up times etc. You'll have a final quote after we talk and before booking. **Please note dog boarding rates are for a 24 hour time period from your drop off time. Additional fees may be charged for late pick-up.
