Minimum of two nights for boarding to book, please! I'm a Certified dog trainer and visit clients at their house or do boarding training at my place.I'm often at home during a day time during a week.

Ekaterina did an amazing job with my girl, Bailey. I went on a last minute trip and she took her no questions and received numerous photos and videos of my girl enjoying her time. She always kept constant contact and Bailey was even to meet some new friends!

Excellent care. My dog always comes home tired and relaxed. I appreciate the photos she sends while we’re away as well. It is comforting.

I have no breed preferences. I will not board dogs who do have severe separation or fear anxiety and who can bark for hours or destroy the surrounding area.I do need to know if pet need medication and what kind?special diet? Have allergies? crate trained?like to bark or howl if crated for a night inside house or in a big kennel in a barn?escape artist? people friendly or aloof? I do Not require spay or neuter dogs,but will not board females in a heat.
