Pet care experience

TWO DOG NIGHT BOARDING KENNEL We are located less than 1/2 mile from town, directly across from The Windham Path, on route 23, on the east side of Windham. Find the Windham Path... and we are across the street. We have 50+ years of dog breeding, training, grooming, and loving care. We host no more than 2 dogs at a time in our home. Pick up and return at the end of your pet's stay is generally done by you, the owner. If you need our help in coordinating your schedule, just let us know. All reservations are made through our rover web site., During the day, we operate two separate dog runs that are clean, private, secluded, and sheltered. With your (the owners) permission, most dog guests will ride around with me in my car AS I RUN MY DAILY ERRANDS. My daily Windham Path walk is additional but very popular. I grew up with Dachshunds. Later on, Airedale Terriers, and then black and chocolate Labs were in our family. 'Have bred Dobermans and German Shepherds. Our canine guests are brought in to our "Windham Cabin" home every night. We feed your dog on your requested & regular schedule. We feed the food/diet that you bring to us divided into disposable bags, one for each meal please. Bringing your own dog bowl helps, but is not required. A good customer for us is one that is very reliable, timely, and punctual... as well as a good communicator. We have over 50 years of canine experience, As former breeders of both German Shepherds and Dobermans, we can gently and lovingly build a positive relationship with your pet, whatever the temperament, size or breed. Popular ski weekends fill up quickly. The same is true for all holidays and World Cup mountain bike races too. We strongly advise you to make your reservations early (on Rover.com) as we are open all year. I do charge ($5) to walk your dog on our Windham Path. We always have a good time. I formerly did this for free, but all the "pros" tell me that I need to charge for this service. Before your appointed reservation, we desire to introduce you and your pet to our home. Therefore it is our desire to arrange a "meet and greet" appointment with you, in our home, prior to your reservation date. At that time, we will talk about our "Safety Plan" -and if you want dog walked along "the path." Additionally I offer grooming on pet stays of 3 days or longer. GROOMING - yes, by special arrangement, I offer grooming. Pricing on grooming is not fixed... as it depends of several variables. DOG VACATION - speak with us about an extended vacation in Windham for your pet. This is a new and growing aspect of our love for dogs which includes a completely private, remote, fenced, wooded, exercise area, with refreshing and secluded kenneling, and more. This is a new aspect of our business that will initially only be available for our New York City customers. To put it another way... my New York City customers have top priority as far as vacationing their dogs are concerned. VACATION PICK-UP AND PET RETURN AVAILABLE Primarily for our New York City Customers, we can pick up your pet and return him or her by preset arrangement. ____
