Dogs should be well-socialized with no aggressive behavior toward other dogs or children, as well as show proof of up-to-date vaccinations. We are a cat-free home since Hoss is not cat-friendly. All breeds welcome for walks and drop-ins but small dogs greatly preferred for boarding.

All dogs staying in our home are welcomed as another member of the pack. Everyone goes out to the secure, fenced backyard first thing in the morning, before leaving for work, before dinner and before bedtime. Meals are served twice per day. All dogs sleep in pet beds in our bedroom or the living room, whichever they prefer. While we are away from the house, the kitchen and living room are open areas for dogs with comfy beds, toys, plenty of water and potty pads. They have a view of the front and back yards. Video monitor and weekday lunch visits help me watch while I'm away. We are within 15 minutes of Hillside Vet Clinic on Mockingbird Lane, a 24-hour emergency facility, as well as a neighborhood dog park.
