My fiancé and I have loads of experience with dogs of all kinds. Our home tends to be a comfortable, safe place where dogs feel at ease. Our interests include playing with toys, petting friendly pups, lounging sometimes, and having dinner! I have a feeling your little guy or girl might share some of those likes. Your pet's specific needs and likes will be important to me and well followed. We've had all sorts of sizes and ages each having their own personality. My fiancé enjoys keeping our fenced yard clean and healthy so we'll have plenty of space for play. I'm looking forward to meeting new pups and keeping them safe and happy while you're away! Our goal is to mimic the comfort of home to ease the dog and owner as well. Smooth transitions! I politely ask owners to be clear about drop offs and pick ups. 11am turns into 11:45. Or I've put our dinner on hold for a drop only to be waiting and hungry because I had no notice. Chris and I are a functioning family with schedules and routine, which is actually a benefit to your dog! We all run late sometimes; I'm realistic. I can't imagine owners expecting to drop off at a formal boarder after they close! And honestly, if it were my family, I'd insist they let me watch their dog rather than put him in a kennel! We really, really enjoy the company, walks, and playing. Please treat time as if I'm a business, because I am! Thank you.
