I have a German Shepherd that is 6 1/2 years old who is well trained and obedient. She loves all her dog buddies! My dog gets really excited at first when she has company over. But after she got all the attention, hugs and kisses she needs, she calms down. She definately can be loud and is an attention seeker!? I have 20+ years of dog experience. I have flexible hours depending on what dog care is required/needed for each family. I know how to administer basic medication, if needed. I have unconditional love for all dogs/cats that come through my door and treat all pets like my own. I provide a couple walks during the day around our acreage. Lots of attentive play time and lots of different smells on the property during their stay...rain, snow or shine. Ofcourse, some needed down time. I potty train and do basic training commands for puppies, if required. I provide small basic grooming to all dogs if they need a quick ear/teeth cleaning, nail trim and/or a quick brushing. At the end of their overnight visit, I can provide a free bath for the dog after overnight boarding (upon request only).
