We have a large fenced in area with a sand pit and a wide variety of dog toys. The yard is large enough for extra runs and playtime! We love playing with Maggie and Chloe outside with catch and their other toys. Both our golden retrievers love socializing with other dogs as well. We travel with them frequently and have been to many out of state dog parks. Both Maggie and Chloe are also up to date on all their vaccines and are on flea and heartworm prevention. They go to Kind Animal Care Veterinarian Clinic in Spring Hill, FL. Both gates have an extra lock on them, and are high enough where the dog cannot jump over and cannot dig under either. We always have an eye on our dogs when outside. We also live in a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic, which is helpful with dog walking. My fiancé, Brian, will also be here helping attend with your dog. We can’t wait to meet your fur baby! For boarding, it would be important for you to bring your dog’s bed and food. Some toys would also be important and maybe, a blanket with your smell on it, so they can be comfortable! It is like they never left home!
