I grew up with Labs and Boxers, and have a lifetime of experience owning and caring for dogs of my own. I work from home during the day, so I am around to take frequent potty breaks and daytime walks. I prefer to do a meet and greet at least one day in advance of your reservation to make sure we are both comfortable with the stay. I generally take dogs out for a short potty break first thing in the morning, then a late morning potty break, and a longer walk or hike in the afternoon. Other times we will do two short walks per day with a potty break in between. It varies dependent on your dogs needs, but I aim to stay as consistent to their regular schedule as possible. My goal is to make sure that any dog staying with me feels safe and comfortable, has a great time and is spoiled with lots of love and treats! My cat Oliver is 10 years old and has always had dogs around so he is mellow, and likes the company.
