We, (Anne and John, both RNs) live in North Raleigh/Wake Forest, near Falls Lake and LOVE dogs. John is now home full time. Both of us have had dogs essentially our whole lives,I guess we are just "dog people". We would love to host your dog for their vacation! Our own pups (Tarfu, Makeda, Atlas, Hallie, Titan, Ellie Mae and Louis) are very socialized to other dogs, as we have been hosting dogs in our home for several years now. Tarfu and Makeda have earned AKC Canine Good Citizen awards. Atlas has achieved his obedience rally certificates. Hallie is just happy to meet everyone and Titan Ellie Mae and Louis) are natural born clowns that just want to play and entertain us and their friends. We are both RN's and are comfortable with physical ailments if your dog should have special medical needs. If your dog has been trained with an e-collar please share that information with us. We require that all our guests be house trained and non destructive. Also, your pet will be sleeping with us in our bedroom, so kindly bring your pup recently bathed. Our guests play well together but sometimes play hard. For the safety of our other guests, we respectfully ask that your pups nails are trimmed and smooth so they do not cause injury to another dog during play. Unfortunately, we are unable to host certain breeds. This is due to insurance reasons. Breeds that we cannot host; pitbull, Rottweiler, any bully breeds, boxers, and other breeds that are considered aggressive. Things to bring... 1) Food, labeled and feeding instructions 2 Sturdy leash Note: Less is better!!! No toys, crates, bed , Bowls, food scoopers. Please have nails trimmed as short and smooth as possible We DO NOT board "aggressive breeds" or any aggressive dogs. All our guests must be spayed or neutered, and friendly with other dogs. If you have previously boarded your pet with us, and we are marked as "booked", please contact us and let us know your needs. We have multiple dogs at a time (as shown in the photos) and most are repeat customers that have been here enough that we know their personalities, and behaviors. Most of the dogs even know each other. We strive to make our home your doggies second home. Previous guests that socialize well are considered VIP guests and are welcome in addition to other guests we may have already booked. We are proud to say that Rover records indicate that 99 percent of our doggie guests are "repeat boarders"!!!
