Pup Vacay with a Feeling of Home

MEET + GREET: * We do require a meet and greet for first time doggy guests * We are unable to offer weekly reoccurring day care due to our schedule Welcome! My fiance, James and I have two pups. Melo is a 6 year old rottie/lab mix. He loves making new doggy friends and is sweet as can be. Lily is a 6 year old smooth collie mix. She’s full of love and does very well with other dogs. Our animals are family and we treat them as such. We understand how difficult it is to find the right place for your pup while you're away. Every doggy guest becomes part of our family during their stay. Our goal is to give your dog a fun filled vacay with a feeling of home. He/she will have free roam of the house. They are welcome on the sofa, beds and all rooms of the house. We do not use crates unless dog owner requires us to. We have a good sized fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood that's great for walks. We will love on your pup and give them the best care while they're here - cuddles, walks, play time and one on one attention will be given. We'll be sure to send text picture updates + videos as well. At the end of their stay, you'll be greeted by a happy and tired pup.

When you drop your pup off for his/her stay, it would be super helpful to know more about their schedule, any requirements or special needs they may have, allergies, health concerns or medications that need to be given. If you have specific rules for your pup, please let us know as we want to follow them and avoid creating any new habits while you're away :)
