I'm a self-employed legal professional and certified mediator. Now I focus full-time on the "special needs" dog care business. We have plenty of space (4,600 sqft on 4 acres) and lots of love + attention to share. Your dog will go home happy and healthy after their vacation here! All ages + sizes may be welcome after an in-home meeting! Dogs without special needs are welcome, too! Premium sensitive food, whole-food supplements & treats all-inclusive, if desired. We have plenty of space freely accessible inside and fenced outside for cage-free doggie comfort! Food & airborne allergy friendly! HEPA air purifiers in every room plus central high-efficiency whole-house allergy filtration. Memory foam orthopedic beds in various sizes throughout the house. Blankets+mats laundered daily using the sanitize cycle. Our home is a cleaner, healthier, safer, more comfortable, home+yard all-inclusive environment that truly cannot be compared to any kennel or "luxury" boarding facility. A variety of flexible spaces exist that can be set up to suit most any special need or request. The yard is 6' fenced including a wrap-around deck for daytime sunbathing (both sun and shade areas all day long), patio, trail and wooded area. Our 4 acre property has a wide variety of terrain for exploration in both fenced and un-fenced areas (with leashes, of course). Back yard and deck can be accessed without the use of stairs for dogs with mobility concerns. >>>>> CONTACT ME FOR A MEETING <<<<< Final pricing is based on any special needs, health conditions, disabilities and/or specialized routines. We can discuss your exact needs at a scheduled Meet and Greet at my house to determine a fair price for the services you and your dog(s) require. Rates may be higher for some holidays, weekends, and last minute reservations less than 7 days. Let's discuss your specific times/dates and the specific type of care that your dog requires. I'm available most any time to meet with you and your dog(s) at my home. Flexibility and patience allow me to handle nearly any type of special care or attention that your dogs requires. Do not hesitate to contact me if your pet has extreme special need, disabilities and health conditions. I am very experienced in this area, and cater my home to the dogs that may not be a good fit for more active households or kennels. My experience administering medication: Medications are easily and happily administered along with your vet's prescription bottle and contact info. I've used many tricks over the years for pills, and really all medications are easy if you have the right way to serve it! I've had many special needs and elderly dogs myself, and have cared for many older dogs that required pills, eye drops and/or injections multiple times a day. I am comfortable administering injected medications such as insulin. ALL medications, regardless of the form or purpose, must be sent in their original container(s) with the prescribing vet's label so I have instructions and prescriber contact in case I have any issues. I am not comfortable administering pills or any medications NOT in their original containers unless you have your vet contact me in advance with instructions, purpose and physical description of the medication. We take medications very seriously and are willing to follow ANY required dosing frequency and schedule.
