Most if not all of my proceeds from Rover will go to covering the costs associated with my own animal Stella, she has had allergies for years and requires a medication regimen that is not exactly affordable. Excess funds will go into an account for future vet costs. I have no breed preferences, I will however always want to meet your animal and walk with them first, this must be at least one day prior to official boarding stays. I will probably always have at least one animal with me on Meet & Greats so please be aware of that, even though I will absolutely inform you of that in advance. I usually use at least my own animal for meet and greats as she is excellent in giving me a good first impression of another animal. All animals should be: Neutered or spayed (some exceptions may apply - i.e. dogs in advanced years or in reduced mobility state), current on all vaccinations, on regular flee medication (as well as being free of fleas or mites), and lastly they should posses official vaccination tags. If any of these criteria are a concern I will ask about them prior to the stay and we can discuss it at that time, however I am firm on these issues. They are important to me as an individual, a professional, a dog owner, and especially for the health and safety of my guests. Animals with (serious) aggression issues, signs of neglect or advanced behavioral issues, unfortunately do not fit with my boarding model. There are however reputable sitters available that are equipped for animals that require that level of specialized care. I am still happy to offer walks, drop ins, in house sitting and other services for animals that do have behavior issues, I just cant put them up as a boarder.

We will be going on long and frequent walks, running if full of energy, rope play if allowed and safe to do so. Playing fetch on a long leash, maybe some Frisbee or whatever your friends like to do when outdoors. Most walks may occur in conjunction with my dog allowing for a good sense of domestication with an animal who is well trained and good with all breeds and sizes. My animal is a Great Pyrenees, historically well know for even temperaments and incorporating other animals into a herd like mentality, with a protective disposition towards those in the herd. I could not ask for a better animal to engage with your animal/s. I also like practicing obedience training and can incorporate it into walks and schedules if requested. I can provide some conditional grooming service as well they are listed in the next section.
