🐾 Dogs — Safety, Trust & Environment My home is a lived-in, dog-friendly space — not a sterile setup, but a real family home where dogs are genuinely welcome. We have a secure yard, two dogs of our own who love meeting new friends, and kids who know how to respect animals and give them space when needed. For boarding, I keep a close eye on how dogs interact, especially during introductions, and I never leave them unsupervised until I'm confident everyone's comfortable. My two are social and easygoing, which makes the settling-in process a lot smoother for most visitors. I follow your emergency vet information and will always contact you before making any medical decisions. For walks, I stay on leash in unfamiliar areas and only let dogs off leash in designated spaces if you've explicitly okayed it. I know the neighborhood well and stick to safe, dog-friendly routes. Your dog won't just be watched — they'll be included. 🐱 Cats — Safety, Trust & Environment I have cats of my own, so I know how to create a calm, low-stress environment for a visiting kitty. We also have two dogs in the home — but cats who board with us have a completely separate, dog-free space where they can eat, sleep, and decompress without ever crossing paths with them. No shared zones, no surprise encounters. For boarding, I give new cats time to settle into their space before any gradual introductions are considered — and only if you're open to it. No forced interactions, ever. I keep windows and doors secure, know the hiding spots to check, and never leave food or anything potentially harmful within reach. Medications are given carefully and on schedule, documented so nothing gets missed. For drop-in visits, I treat your home exactly as you'd want it treated — tidy, secure, and undisturbed. I do a quick walkthrough each visit to make sure everything looks right before I leave. Your cat's comfort and safety isn't an afterthought. It's the whole point.
