My daughter has walked dogs for years and we started dog boarding about a year ago and the entire family fell in love with the experience and dogs. There is usually someone home to let dogs out and for companionship but if not, they won't be alone for too long. My daughter is home most afternoons and only has class in the morning Tuesday and Thursday. Her name is Lily B and she has a Rover account also. My son is 10 and great with dogs. We love dogs that like to cuddle! I live in a tri-level home with my family of four and my parents live downstairs in a mother in law apartment. We have a large completely fenced-in yard. Let me know if you have any more questions! We can’t wait to care for your precious furry-friend!
