I love watching dogs while their owners are away. Why? Because they make me happy and bring joy to the day! I offer a CLEAN, non-smoking home with a quiet atmosphere for a peaceful experience. Dogs are walked on a leash between 3 large lots. They enjoy lots of sniffing and lots of exercise while on the leash. We live near a park, so sometimes, we'll walk the big dogs to the park with the owner's permission. Our house is huge. Since I work from home, your dog will see me (and hear me) all the time. I have a living room that is outdated and was never upgraded. I love this room because it reminds me of my grandmother's house. It's just peaceful and relaxing. I use this room to meet and greet new dogs, so I can get to know them and their personality. Once they adjust, they earn privilege's into the rest of the house, one room at a time. I do this, so that your dog doesn't get overwhelmed with lots of smells, sounds and the new territory. One room at a time is my strategy. Dogs normally sleep on the sofas in that living room. (Not in kennels, unless the owner request a kennel) Convenient location on Cardinal Drive in Wilson. I also have a large deck, where your dog(s) can hang out, under a canopy, for some R&R and Vitamin D. Note: Puppies are welcomed here. I'll do my best to help with house training and leash training. Or, whatever you do at home, I'll do here. My day starts with walking your dog between 6-7am. Then, we enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck and play fetch. Every morning, I am able to spend approx. one hour of personal one-one-one time with your pet. Then, it's off to the home office, I go! Your pet will enjoy quick belly rubs, pats on the head for confirmations, a few fetches and sometimes they can lay under my desk for foot touches. I try to stay on schedule with potty breaks (and walks), but I'm always here to take them potty if they let me know. Preferred potty schedule for an adult dogs is: 6-7am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 9pm. LOL, though. Most of the time, the dogs love to go outside, so I listen to their command. Puppies go outside every 2-3 hours. Doggie Daycare is 'up to 10 hours.' After 10 hours, it's $2.50 per hour.
