My Carolina Dog, Diego loves going to Chris and Jim's, three days a week for Doggy Daycare while I am at work. They are both Awesome with Diego as he developed separation anxiety recently; they have shown Diego great kindness, compassion and calmness as Diego works on his counter-conditioning program at home. Diego loves all his new pup friends that he has met at Chris and Jim's home and I can tell he looks forward to going to their house. When his counter-conditioning program is over I know Diego will love to still go to Chris and Jim's once or twice a week for some great fun with his pup friends!

I have a very hard time leaving my dogs and when I do I usually leave them at a boarding place near my house. I decided to try Rover for the first time and came across Chris and her family. We did a meet and greet with my three pups and they had their first stay this past weekend. Chris's daughter Dawn eased my worry by sending me lots of pictures or video. I felt so much better after seeing that they were having a great time. They came home happy and exhausted from all the running they got to do on their couple of acres. I will definitely be rebooking with Chris again:)

Information Chris O. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing to know since we have animals is that they are current on all their shots. Whether or not they bite. Whether or not they get along with other animals. Are they afraid of thunder, loud noises, uniforms, etc. Also, do they have any limitations(physical, diet, allergy)

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Even though we have an enormous yard to walk around in, we also live next to a circular road that does not get thru traffic so it is perfect. On the other side of our property is a 20 acre field that we can take the more energetic types to run around. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your pet will sleep almost anywhere he wants to. It can be in the living room, in our bedroom, in the walk in closet, on the couch, or in some cases, in our bed. You should provide a bed if they sleep in one to make them feel as at home as possible. Time I'll spend with your dog I will be home all day with your pet. If I have an errand to run, then my husband or my adult daughter will be there in my place.
