I live in an apartment within walking distance of grassy areas and fenced dog parks, so potty breaks and short outings are easy. For longer adventures, Charlie and I regularly drive to Fiesta Island or Grape Street Park for off-leash play and exercise. If you and your dog don't go to dog parks- not a problem at all! I have a few areas close to my home that we go for laid back sniff walks. I believe the best boardings start with a meet-and-greet. Before any official booking, I'd love for you, your dog, Charlie, and me to meet so we can make sure the dogs coexist well and respect each other's boundaries. Charlie has great social skills and no signs of reactivity, and he recently shared his home with a senior dog this summer. Protecting his safe space is important to me, because it helps me keep our home a calm, comfortable environment for your pet too. Charlie is high energy and plays best with dogs his size or smaller, so I'm happy to talk through whether we're a good match for your dog. He is currently intact and will be neutered once he reaches the recommended age in a few months.

Charlie and I usually get out for two to three walks a day. Our afternoon "big walk" is the highlight: I find a good space for him to run off leash, meet other dogs, and follow his nose. While I work from home during the day, Charlie settles in for naps, so there's a healthy balance of activity and downtime. On weekends, we head out for a bigger adventure and log a few miles together. I make a point of balancing physical exercise with mental stimulation and training, and farmers markets are one of our favorite tools for practicing focus, manners, and calm behavior around crowds, new people, and lots of distractions. This is our program, and if your dog would thrive with this kind of day, I'd love to have them join us!
