I am an avid animal lover and have had dogs & cats all of my adult life. My two dogs Hazel and Olive are happy, social dogs. My cat Louie would prefer cat-friendly dogs only (but definitely no cat killers). We have a huge fenced-in backyard and a kiddy pool for splashing. Well-behaved dogs are invited inside through the dog door. My pets are spoiled rotten and I would be happy to spoil yours as well! I am selective about the dogs I host. Is your dog a good match? -No aggressive or destructive dogs or those with severe behavioral problems. -Must be housebroken. -No cat killers. -Must have flea/tick prevention on board and be up to date on rabies vaccine. -No constant yappers. Of course, dogs will bark when they see a squirrel, person/dog walking in the neighborhood etc, but if your dog barks constantly for no reason, this won't be a good match. -No excessive droolers or stinky dogs (please bathe before bringing). The reason for this is I allow dogs free run of my house, on my sofa, etc. -I only accept spayed female dogs and neutered male dogs unless there is an age-related medical reason as to why this procedure is being delayed. -No puppies under 6 months or dogs weighing over 100 lbs (my Olive is scared of them, and they won't fit through the dog door). Please ask if you have questions or need clarification!
