Hi There, I have had dogs in my life since I was born, and have always loved them. I've taken care of family member's dogs as a younger person, and helped to train dogs including helping my aunt with her show dogs. I care for my client's dogs in my home and give them the attention and exercise fit for them. I live on over 40 acres of oak studded hills located a convenient five minute drive from the south end of Cloverdale, Dry Creek Valley, and Geyserville and a 15 minute drive from the North end of Healdsburg. I have one sweet rescued Hound X named Lexy, for over 5 years. She is 10 and loves to have dog friends to come stay, relax on the deck and wander in the garden with her. As a former preschool teacher and senior caregiver, I'm educated about and believe in Positive Reinforcement for Dogs as well. I'm also able to follow your customized directions for the best experience possible for your dog and yourself. Although I selected the no child option, I have a nice 17 year old son who loves dogs and is sometimes home. There is no teenager option. My goal for your dog's stay is to provide an environment where they get to relax in the Sonoma County Country with a customized experience. All for your comfort and theirs. NAPPS Certified!
