Experienced dog lover on 2.5 acres!

Pet care experience

**Please note that we require a meet & greet for all new clients to ensure that we are able to keep your pet safe and comfortable during their stay.** My husband and I both permanently work from home, so pups in our care get consistent care throughout the day. No long days stuck in a crate! Lots of time to play, explore outside, and of course, snuggles. Our pups are great with other dogs and LOVE having friends over to play. After a long day of playing and exploring, we typically end the night watching a movie with the pups in bed before bed time. I have 10 years' experience working in rescue with animals of all shapes and sizes - first as the assistant manager of a kennel, and then as the medical coordinator for a bully rescue. We are an approved foster home for several reputable rescue groups. We have experience with a variety of health and/or behavioral issues and are comfortable with special needs dogs (including blind, deaf, special diets, and allergy or insulin shots). Behavior modification and introduction to obedience available as well. Price structure may vary if additional services are required. Our client pups bring so much fun and dynamic energy to our home, and it is always an adventure. Our pups love having slumber parties with all of our client pups and get so excited when their friends come back for another visit! About our yard: We have a 2.5 acres (approximately 1 acre fenced) of property for lounging in the sun or a rousing game of fetch. Dogs are never left unsupervised in the yard. We love hosting families for meet & greets in our home so that you can be comfortable that your babies will be cared for just like furry members of our own family! Additionally, we are happy to accommodate pick up and drop off times between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. We are pleased to offer the following add on services: Bath - $15 Furminator deshed - $10 Nails - $12 for clip only, $20 for clip & Dremmel (Receive a $2 discount when you combine any 2 or more grooming services) Pick up/drop off within a 30 minute drive - $15 each trip Our mornings start at 8:00 A.M. with a walk and outside play before breakfast. Dogs typically go out every 3-4 hours with playtime in between and a midday nap/snack/decompression period. As both work from home, someone is almost always home. Daycare: any time between 8:00 A.M.-7:00 P.M. on weekdays and 9:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M. on weekends Boarding: any time between 8:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. on weekdays and 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. on weekends Each dog has their own designated "room" during their stay, based off the needs of the individual dog. Dogs that are crate trained have their own crates of course. For dogs that are not crate trained, they will have their own space separated by doors and/or baby gates. Dogs are not left unsupervised together for any length of time, so they will each sleep overnight in their designated space and eat their meals there (to prevent resource guarding, etc.). Your pup’s well-being is our number one priority. We are happy to administer dietary supplements, insulin injections, and daily medications. We do ask that all supplements and medication be provided in the original bottle with clear dosing instructions. If you feed a raw diet, please pre-package each meal in tupperware to ensure that your dog’s nutritional needs are consistently met. We will wash and return the tupperware to you at the conclusion of the stay.
