I want to know your pup's favorite game, toy, and/or trick. It would also be helpful to know your pup's triggers and vices. These details will allow me to manage the environment and experience to the best of my abilities. With your consent, photos and videos of your pup will be available on Abbey Rose's Instagram: @abbeyroseruns. Either way, I will send a daily update with photos through Rover.

My goal is to ensure your pup has a fun, relaxing, and safe Staycation while you are away! What to Expect - Property and Accommodations*: We are located in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood, which allows for safe and peaceful walks around the block. Our street has a trailhead that provides convenient access to parks and the lake. Our typical neighborhood and lakefront walks are 1-1.5 miles. Our property boasts a fenced 3,000 sq ft backyard with a 200 sq ft covered patio. We have a 6 ft wood fence topped with an angled mesh barrier to deter jumping. Our landscaping includes grass and plenty of shade trees for playtime and cool down. After rainfall, our yard has its share of mud, and I find the pups typically enjoy playing there the most! We also have a 300 sq ft tiled bonus room that is dedicated entirely to the dogs - I call it the dog room. It has both backyard and garage access and is equipped with heat/AC and a baby monitor. When the weather is nice, I leave the door to the yard open so the pups can come and go as they please. They are allowed to jump, wrestle, run, snuggle and sleep on the couch and rug to their heart's desire. The dog room is where the pups sleep and where they hang out if I need to pop out (2 hrs max). Our main house is a pet-free zone. This might seem like a turnoff, but it actually helps ensure your pup does not get into anything poisonous, toxic or otherwise dangerous. If your dog suffers from severe separation anxiety and cannot settle, we will have a dog room slumber party. I did this with Abbey during her first few thunderstorms and it helped immensely. *see profile photos Meet&Greet and Drop-Offs: For Meet&Greets and Drop-offs, AbbeyRose and I will meet you out front on-leash. Abbey is an excited lunger, so I’ll have her in a sit or on a short leash as you and your pup approach. Once the dogs meet on neutral ground, we will proceed to the yard so they can play and interact off leash. At Drop-off, I will pop out alone to grab your dog’s food and then return with Abbey. I find a walk around the block helps distract from your departure and get the pups primed for playtime. So we will wave you off from the driveway. After our walk, I will keep my full attention on the dogs to ensure your pup settles in nicely. As the initial excitement wears down I will introduce toys for more interactive play.
