Let your dog spend the day with me in my large, securely fenced yard where several mature trees offer some much welcome shade in the summer! We’ll play fetch, tug, scent games, or just chill in the breeze. If your dog likes, he can join my dog, Chester, in a game of chase! Toy boxes both indoors and outdoors will help keep your dog occupied while he's here. I have fostered many dogs for the Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue over the past 14 years, and I will care for your pup as I would like my own dog cared for! If you'd rather have your dog stay home in familiar surroundings, I can come to your house for a 30- or 60-minute drop-in visit and give your dog a potty break, meal, short walk, play, and love. (Over 30 years working in the public safety sector means you can trust me in your home!) I am retired from full-time employment and I offer daycare too!! Don't have time to drop off or pick up your dog? I offer both pick-up and drop-off at a small additional fee. I try very hard to have no more than two guest dogs in my home at any given time, however, I will on occasion book up to two overnight guests at a time if I know them well and believe they will do well together. This in addition to my daycare guests means I may have three guest dogs during the daytime. This is a rare occurrence however. I require all my guests to show proof of vaccinations (including bordatella or "kennel cough") or titers , as well as current flea/tick prevention, prior to booking their stay. Please bring your dog's blanket/bed or a favorite toy to help him feel more at home while he's here. No need to bring bowls--I have plenty--and they are washed daily.
