Among my friend group, I am the go-to animal sitter. I board and travel to take care of friends’ cats and sit their dogs when they are out of town. I frequently donate to local animal shelters and have hosted a 'Dog Day Out' program with local shelters at my place of employment. I have organized two TNR programs for feral cats. I have a lovely 8 year old lab mix and a 3 year old tabby cat. I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of greenery and wooded areas. The following information applies to those interested in boarding their pooch at my home. My back yard is not fully enclosed fencing: however, there is a fully enclosed, smaller side yard leading out from my den for early morning / late night / quick visits. Visitors receive no less than 3 walks a day. If you are comfortable with your pup on a longer lead, they often spend more outside time with my dog while doing yard work in my unfenced areas, hanging out on my back patio, and - in cooler weather - sitting around an evening fire pit. I spend a lot of time outdoors. Dogs are never, ever left unmonitored outside. Boarding visitors must be friendly with other dogs and acceptable of cats (I have one indoor / outdoor tabby cat who is very tolerant of dogs, but does not typically want to be up close). I also have a 98lb big boy lab / hound mix who is 8 years old. He usually likes to sniff other pooches and take walks with - then keep to himself otherwise. I only allow one visitor for boarding or doggy day care at any given time unless I have previously hosted your dog, in which case I sometimes allow overlaps of two guests.
