Information Debbie K. would like to know about your pet

Socialization is very important for your dogs contentment, however we will do all we can to ease any anxiety. The more we know, the better we can tailor your pets canine-cation! We currently have 2 cats and can accommodate no interaction if needed. -Be sure to let us know about any special dietary and medical considerations. -Crates are not necessary but if your dog uses one, please provide. -No history of past aggression towards people or other animals. -Be up to date with flea and tick maintenance. -Please be sure to provide your dogs food, medications, and leash/harness and other items from home he/she may like. -We do not have a fenced yard so dogs will need to be accepting of being on leash for outside activities. At this time we are unable to sit for the following breeds: Akita, American Staffordshire Terrier, Cane Corso, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, American Pit Bull Terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Rottweiler. Meet & Greets are required and enjoyed. Availability is: Monday - Thursday between 5pm - 7pm and Sunday evenings between 5pm - 7pm. Glad to discuss other options. Additional fee may be added to overnight boarding fee if stay is lengthened, example-drop off 7am Saturday morning with a Sunday night pick up at 7pm will incur a boarding fee plus 50% reduced daycare fee. 30+15. All fees will be discussed at meet and greet.

Pet care experience

We offer daycare dropoff or boarding (overnight care) in our home to meet the demands of your active lifestyle. Meet and greets are required. We are an animal loving family and have had many including dogs, cats, a rabbit, chinchilla, bearded dragon, birds, hamsters, and too many fish to count. Ozzie, our golden retriever, and Duke, our beagle, were part of our family for 14 years. We currently are family to 2 felines who are brother and sister and do well with dogs. We've raised them since they were kittens. We do not have a fenced yard so healthy walks will be provided ensuring your dog gets plenty of outdoor time. You can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. We look forward to meeting you!
