In my home for boarding I have a room specifically for my doggie guests! You can bring your kennel, food, toys, water dish, and anything your dog needs, that room is where that will be stored. This room can be used for separation or just a little more security at night depending on what your dog needs. Your pup could be just completely free in my home, it really depends on the dogs behavior and how well your dog gets along with my dog. I typically do a evaluation before any dogs sleep at my house. I do have a fenced in patio where the dogs can relax and get some sun but I do walk the dogs for every potty break. When I do dog walks I typically show up, get the dog for the dog walk, do an hour, return the dog, do any special requests owner asks, lock up and leave. Same really goes for if I am watching your dog at your own home I would do minimum 3 dog walks for a day or I would sleep at that person's house depending on what the special needs are for that owner and dog. I'm pretty flexible and will do whatever the owner feels more comfortable with. I do require your dog has rabies shot and bordatella shots. No un-neutered males for sleep overs thank you!
