We are a family that has both cats and a dog. We do not believe in crates or kennels but will use it for the protection of all if needed. We will keep animals separated if boarding or care is short term (1-3 days). For dogs, we have 10 acres naturally fenced area as well as a pond so they will get a lot of exercise and playtime. We allow for potty breaks frequently, since we are often outside. The pets usually have free rein of the house, so if there are any habits, we need to know about them. We know what it means to be separated from a pet since we experience three months boarding with our cat, Ricky. We will provide daily updates for your pet, so you know they are ok.
