We have an open yard on the water so if your dog likes to swim they will be in their glory! Good recall is important if you want me to allow them to be out off leash, otherwise if you are more comfortable I can keep them on a lead and provide as many walks as needed for their specific energy requirement. We do not feed our dog people food, and she generally grazes, but I will follow whatever feeding schedule you request. We do not have children, it is a pretty quiet environment. In the summer we do love to take the dogs for boat rides and sunset cruises!! I have a medium and large crate if you would like to have them crated at all and sleeping can be whatever the dog prefers. We have had lots sleep right with us, and others who prefer the living room or to be crated- so we are easy for whatever makes the dog more comfortable. I prefer that whenever possible we arrange a meeting for you to bring you pet here prior to boarding dates for a meet and greet so that you can see where we live and we can ensure the dogs are comfortable together and you can put your mind at ease!
