Hello! 👋 I want to note my prices are low because: a) This isn’t my “business,” so no need to break your bank... b) I love dogs, and I know times are tough, and I know a lot of dogs don't do well in kennels, so I thought I'd help others who need a wonderful home-away-from-home for their dogs (one family at a time) at a rate I think is fair... c) I recently lost my dog as I note below 😢 and I’m not emotionally ready to adopt or foster yet…but from childhood till now, I’ve always had dogs by my side, and I love the energy and spirit of having a dog around. 👉 NOTE: I am looking for the right fit. Unfortunately, I am not open to high-energy dogs that need a lot of exercise or constant play. A nice dog that needs a comfortable, safe, calm, caring place is ideal. I am also not able to care for dogs that aren’t house broken or dogs that pee on pads in the house. I know accidents happen, especially in new places, but if they have any issues with controlling their bladder in general or understanding that the bathroom is outside, then it won’t be a good fit. Any questions, please let me know. All that being said, I think local kennels are great, but I understand a lot of dogs don’t do well in them, get anxiety, don’t get attention, don't like nonstop barking, get sick, are forced to hold their bladder for long hours, etc., so I’m happy to provide a safe, comfortable, beautiful, and loving place for your family member(s). My house is spacious, comfortable, clean, stress-free and 100% dog-friendly 🐾 -- plus I always keep it perfectly cool, even when it’s 125 outside! ☀️🌡️ I have a real grass yard for them, waterproof laminate wood floors and pet proof carpeting — so while beautiful, I have NO worries about inevitable mishaps 😅 — and all dogs have always been welcome here and on the furniture, including couches and beds. 🛋️🛏️ My yard is fully walled from front to back so there’s no worry of an adventurous dog making an escape (or coming in). I have a pool, but it can be completely blocked off if necessary. I will only take in one family's dogs at a time, so there are no issues, and they will receive all of my attention. 🧡 I work from home and am my own boss, so I’ll be here for your dog and make sure they’re happy, cared for and comfortable. I am able and willing to FaceTime, send pictures and videos while your pet is here as well so you can rest assured while you're away. 🐾📸 The Collie in the photos was my most recent dog of 12 years. She passed away earlier this year and I’m not ready to commit emotionally to another dog of my own or foster yet. So, I thought this would be a win-win situation as I love dogs and would love to help others who are looking for a great place to let their dog enjoy when they can't be there. 🤗🐶 I know how hard it is to leave your dog and I want to give your dog a wonderful home-away-from-home when you can’t take them with you. 🏡❤️🐕
