We have a fun and caring household that includes me, my husband of 10 years, and our high school aged daughter. Our wire-haired dachshund JoJo (11 y.o) is a sweet, and very mellow tempered old gal. She loves to sun bathe and burrow in a blanket. She LOVES to kiss!! Tryp is a 6 year old mini long-haired doxie who stole our hearts. He does well with our guest dogs but he will make a loud production when he first meets you. It sometimes takes him a minute to settle in, but more often then not it's because he needs to sniff out the newcomer and then its all fine. He is soft like a chenille blanket and loves to be with a person, he will nose you until you hold him. He is our playful one- ready for a game of chase with all furry friends. We have a doggy door to access the fully reinforced fenced and locked back yard anytime. Upstairs rooms enjoy having guest dogs sleep with them and keep them warm. I also have fluffy dog beds and plenty of couch space for them to enjoy naps in the sun from our front windows. My whole family is dog lovers. We enjoy bringing in new friends for the dogs, and we would love to cuddle and play with your furry family member while you're away. We prefer small dogs. Clients who bring their smaller dogs to stay appreciate that there will not be larger dogs in my home- even though I love all dogs of all sizes, I respectfully cannot make any exceptions to this restriction.*** I also wish to indicate that we can only accept dogs OVER 2 years old.**** Your dog(s) must be up to date on shots and please make sure they have been treated for fleas 24 hrs before their stay or they are on a flea regimen. We can handle various personalities and needs and I have senior dog experience. Note: I have stairs in my home, and no carpeting in the main rooms. Please indicate if your dog will need help on stairs or need a mat to stand on while eating. ****COVID update**** I am not doing initial meetings in my home. I can do a virtual tour of my house, and a meeting out front with your dog and mine. I no longer require a mask at meetings or drop off, and pick up. My entire family is vaccinated, but we respect the safety, choices, and privacy of others and their needs- so please let me know if you’d like for masks to be worn during these times. No questions will be asked, and we will oblige. For detailed instructions, please provide this on your pets profile. I must be texted/messaged from your car upon arrival to let me know you are here for meetings or bookings. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or concerns. *****No pick up or drop offs after 9pm: due to early and very busy mornings we ask that you pick up before 9pm or add a night and pick up anytime the next day between 8am- 9pm*****
