Availability

I work from home four days a week making it easy to let dogs out for potty breaks and provide 1:1 interaction. My boys also provide play time before and after school. During the summer months, they are often in/out of the house all day. My boys are used to dogs that pull on leashes and/or may be anxious about boarding.

Information Christine L. would like to know about your pet

Please share if your dog has any health conditions or special needs. Also, let me know if he/she has never stayed away from home before. Is there a fear of meeting new people? Do accidents sometimes occur. Does your dog interact well with other dogs? Is there a preference on which dogs? All information ensure that your dog will have the best possible stay.

A typical day

After owner consultation, we do walk dogs 1-2 times a day. We have taken dogs done to the splash pad on warmer days. If approved, we also take dogs with us on rides to the park or dog parks. We have indoor as well as outdoor toys for any dog staying with us.

Pet care experience

I have had a dog since I was a toddler. Dogs are treated like family in our home. We do not believe in keeping them outside. The backyard is for restroom breaks or chasing balls. Crates would only be used per owners request. Dogs are like children and thrive with positive reinforcement, love and lots of play. I have owned docile dogs as well as one fairly territorial. Both did well with lots of attention and frequent walks. Any dog staying in our home would be free to lay around, receive lots of tummy rubs and lots of love. Please feel free to ask any questions in order to feel reassured that you dog would be well taken care of - no questions are silly!
