I live with my heinz57 cat, Summer, who loves to investigate new visitors but sometimes chooses to retire to the secure basement when they they are too energetic. My yard is not fenced but the Watson UV dog park is just a few minutes drive away for off-leash energy busting. I'm a big fan of packing everyone up and heading out for a long leashed walk on one of the many local hiking trails! Because I have pets, my home is already mostly animal-proof. Please let me know any peculiarities of your pet so that we can make sure everything is safe for them too! I cannot offer boarding services to any dog who is cat aggressive. Cat-chasers not desirable, but we can discuss because she does have a safe basement to hide in. Boarding dogs requires a prior meet-and-greet to make sure that we will get along well. I do have the space to separate dogs who are food aggressive, but we would need to discuss this beforehand to confirm if the behavior is reasonably manageable. Nightly brushing provided free-of-charge to those pets who adore it. Plenty of soft surfaces for hanging out: at least one large dog bed and one cat bed in every room and even a large dog couch in the living room.
