Hi. My name is Dara, and I with my husband Rick have loved dogs all of our lives. Currently we have in our country home a Toy Poodle, Emma Joy, that loves to play with other dogs that we board. We have no kids and welcome pets of all backgrounds, though we do prefer small to medium sized pets that are well-behaved, house-trained, kind and loving and are neutered, if a male dog. Boarding dogs is all that I do so I can fully devote myself to the care and fulfillment of your precious companion. I also limit the number of dogs that I take in at any one time so that your pet gets personalized attention and all of the love that we have to give. I provide around the clock care, and the comfort and safety of your cherished pet is my top priority. We have an expansive yard, and in the warmer months my husband and I love to sit on our backyard swing and watch our furry friends explore and play under our supervision. Be sure to bring your pet's favorite food and toys, and prepare to receive pictures of your beloved pet every day. It is so fun to watch Emma Joy play with her new-found friends. Please ensure that your pet is up to date on its vaccinations. I am able to administer oral / injected medications and flea/tick preventatives for those longer stays. I am also a registered nurse that understands the benefits of healthy living. I am looking forward so much to your pet's stay!!
