Safe Home & Experienced Dog Handler PLEASE HAVE DOGS GROOMED AND NAILS DONE BEFORE STAY they are NOT in a kennel but in my house. They do get brushed here too! Please do not waste my time my reviews are the truth. I am very busy with pets all the time my concern is that all dogs are safe, so many come for meet and greet only to say after their family will watch them ask family first. Meet and greets helps your pet get a custom to new surroundings and myself access them for a good fit. It is NOT a time for play group, dogs here will be put away, so your pet is only one checking out the back yard and for myself to make connection with your pet. I just need their food marked with name and amount you feed in a Ziplock bag longer stays just check with me. I have bowls. I have been working with dogs for over 50 years. When I was a young girl my father who was a police officer at the time let me help him train a working Shepherd Lab mix named Blackie. Blackie was an unbelievable learning experience for me and started my love for dogs. Blackie was taught to be a protection dog; alert dog and she could do many useful tricks. Since then, I have had many of my own dogs from Goldens that I trained for obedience and Field, to my now two little rescues. Over the years friends would come and ask me for help training their dogs and to board overnight. It something I have really enjoyed my whole life. Now that I am retired, I am finally doing what I love! I am open to take up to 4 new dogs I try to save space for my repeat clients or emergency drop offs with that said I have had up to 6-10. Book well in advance especially school vacation weeks and summertime. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or send me a message I understand leaving your fur babies at someone's house that you do not know is very difficult. I'll look forward to meeting you at a Meet and Greet. If you are wondering if setting up your own Rover is right for you, I can even answer those questions. My oldest son Shawn is back home to help me when needed, At my place in Easton, I have two large fenced in yards! Daily activities include just hanging out together to ball chasing and if needed working on commands. I find that most dogs love learning, working on commands and the one-on-one interaction. Our activities are done on my property in the fenced in areas. To enter my house from the front you have to enter through two doors so there is little chance of your dog being able to get out the door accidentally. If you don't allow dogs on furniture, I respect those rules. If you are ok with dogs on furniture that's ok with me too! I have crates in house just in case uncrated dogs need alone time you be surprised how well they relax in their den! One most asked question is, I don't crate my dog so where will they sleep? Pretty much where they are comfortable, in the living room, kitchen floor or in my bedroom. Thank you for your consideration. We are up around 5 or 6 we go outside soon after meals are provided after a short break we are outside again in summer until noonish when it gets hot, we come inside for napping. back out around 2:30. We have small pools out in summer and a bigger pool and plenty of water.
