We will love your dog as if it were our own. I am an attorney who works from home. This provides me the opportunity to give lots of potty breaks and play time and of course lots of love. We have a huge toy box for our guests to dig through, and lots of beds to choose from. Pups are also allowed on the furniture if their parents allow it. While we do have two cats, they have been raised since birth with our dogs and are VERY social and laid back. Additionally, they generally stay upstairs when we have puppy guests unless they feel comfortable coming down (they are "cats" after all :) ). The upstairs is gated off to prevent accidents on the stairs, but the pups have free reign of the downstairs. We appreciate and understand that some dogs have a little more anxiety than others or that some require medication. We have experience in both areas and truthfully have a soft spot for those fur babies with any type of special needs. We are attentive to each dog as an individual and will treat him or her as one of our own. We are an open book and want to address any and all concerns up front to ensure a good fit for all--especially your little one(s). The best part of this job is watching happy puppies and when their stay comes to a close knowing that we did everything possible to ensure our guests had a safe, fun, and relaxing visit! We have two dogs who are "rescues"--Moose and Eddie. They are just like our children and the light of our lives. We have had dogs in our lives since we were kids, and have always welcomed the opportunity to care for animals. Moose and Eddie relish the opportunity to make friends. We have a large fenced in yard for them to play and they just love it! Everyone always has access to water as well. I'm constantly cleaning the bowls and changing the water since there is nothing better than fresh cold water. We have a pool. If your dog likes water, he or she is more than welcome to jump in (if you give the okay beforehand). A lot of the time my wife is even in the pool with them. We sit outside with them to prevent accidents (we have watched several blind dogs for example) and ensure the safety of our guests. Please note that while we strive to be extremely flexible, late pickups may be subject to an additional charge. We are more than happy to discuss this with you prior to any confirmed booking. Also, large breeds and/or those babies which shed a lot may be subject to a slightly higher rate, but still well below average rates.
