Please keep in mind if you have a pending request for daycare or boarding. Please understand that if that request is not booked and another client books, it is first come first serve basis. If I have spots open then it won’t be a problem. **PLEASE READ** *If your dog is aggressive, if you’re unsure how your dog is with others or if you know your dog doesn’t get along with others, we won’t be a good fit. If any super aggressive behavior is displayed, I will have to ask for your dog to be picked up. If you or someone else is not able to pickup your dog they will remain separated / crated from the others until you return. However they won’t be playing with the others, and will be taken outside to potty seperatly. That’s not fair to me or your dog. *Not referring to resource guarding as I feed the dogs separate every time they eat, so that’s easy to manage.* We do recommend a daycare stay prior to your stay, If your unsure how your dog might but with others. If you’re planning a stay over 5 nights. We do recommend 1 night of boarding as a trial. To insure we have a successful visit for your pup/s. If you need a last minute stay, we can discuss that on a case by case basis. Thank you for understanding it is my job to keep mine and others dogs safe in my care. We take that very serious. We have a fenced yard with two friendly fur babies, that love to play with friends. We’re able to crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on couch and bed. Home is very animal friendly. We clean the yard daily, and sanitizing it weekly. We also walk the fence and yard daily to insure the pups are always in a safe environment. If your baby likes to dig, that’s perfectly fine. We just fill any holes at the end of the day. To prevent any issues, we do prefer you don’t bring any toys, it’s kind of hard to have a few dogs around with toys, as they’re not very good at sharing toys all the time. They spend most of the day playing together and will be plenty busy. If you would like to bring anything else that you feel will make your fur baby more comfortable, feel free to bring Beds, blankets, treats etc. We do have beds and blankets, if you bring your own, we do keep them put up when not in use, but there is a chance if another dog gets a hold of it. It could possibly get ripped. If your dog is crate trained and you prefer they sleep in a crate. We do have a few crates in different sizes so you don’t have to bring one around. ***Your dog with NEVER be placed in a crate without owners permission/request.***. Unless they show extreme aggression. If you’re leaving your baby for the first time, we know how stressful that can be. We can assure you the dogs adjust just fine, we know from experience the first time I left my babies. It was very stressful for me. I definitely think we stress more than they do. I have watched many first time borders and so far they’ve all been perfectly fine. Feel free to bring anything from home that you feel will make their time here more comfortable. Your baby will get plenty of love and attention. We’re always open to meet & greets. We leave that up to the owner, I’m ok with either choice, if you want to do one or not. They can be a little exciting for the pups. Meeting new friends for the first time. We’ve actually had first time boarders and return boarders/ daycare pups that didn’t want to leave, or get in the car to go. They loved it here. We do separate the dogs when they’re eating, for everyone’s safety. I know some dogs don’t like others around them when they’re eating. We feed all the pups at the same time 8:30am and 6pm. If your pup free feeds, they will be on this same schedule as the others. We don’t have the ability to free feed… If your pup eats 3x a day we can accommodate. If your dog(s) eat raw as long as the food is prepared and in containers for each feeding I don’t mind feeding raw. We do wash everyone’s dog bowl after each feeding raw or not. I wouldn’t want to eat out of a dirty bowl and neither will your babies. We also make sure there is plenty of fresh water at all times.

Debra was great. Bambi is very shy but she understood that and gave Bambi space to just be Bambi. Thank you

We were very happy with the care Gwen and Daisy got while we had to travel. Responses were quick and reassuring. We got pictures daily. Our girls were happy when we picked them up and you can tell they were playing because they came home and crashed. We will definitely keep Debra in mind for any other needs we have for our girls!
