Before boarding a dog overnight in my home, I need to know their age and energy level, if there are any other pets in the owner's home and how well the dog and other animals get along. I will also need to know how much time the dog usually spends alone during the day, a rundown of the dog's normal daily routine, and if the dog is crate trained and how often they are crated. I only crate dogs if it is the owners standard routine to do so. Finally, I will need to know if the dog has been sick recently or takes any medications that I will have to administer, and if the dog has any spooks or triggers I need to be aware of.

I am lucky to live in a brand-new, gated housing community that sports several lakes, grassy fields, and trails to take dogs on walks and to play. There is a local dog park a five minute drive from my home, and living in the East Bay Area, we are spoiled with many hiking trails in the area. I love to go on long walks, explore the countryside and the delta, or just relax outside at the park where your pup can run on the grass or play with other friendly dogs in the neighborhood. Dog walking and sitting is my priority and only obligation, so your dog will never be left unattended for long periods of time!
