Why board? They can stay with me!

Hi! I was a "foster" parent for dogs who had run out of time at the shelter for 10 years! I fostered & successfully rehomed 23 dogs. I LOVE animals. Your fur baby will be treated like my own. I currently work part time from home and homeschool. So your fur baby will not spend a lot of time alone or without any company. Both my front yard and my back yard are 100% fenced. I treat all animals in my home like they are my own! They have as much free range in my home as they would in their own home.

Janelle took great care of our two dogs while we were on a trip in Virginia Beach when our air bnb didn't alllw dogs. We were nervous at first about leaving them with someone new because one of them is a rescue but we felt very comfortable with Janelle and saw that they felt right at home. Will seek out Janelle again when we are back!

Janelle is cool under pressure and when travel plans go sideways she’s got you covered. My pup loves staying with her and runs to her front door for every visit.

As a former dog trainer and foster parent please let me know if your dog requires any special accommodations for their stay. For instance since I have a front fenced yard, do they get stressed out by skateboards or loud noises, etc? Where do they usually sleep at home?
