Please read through my profile before reaching out to make sure we sound like the perfect fit. I require a meet and greet for all new clients! Sometimes it’s hard to find time between kids/dogs/life so I recommend reaching out as early as possible. I think it’s very important to make sure everyone is comfortable before booking! Hi! My name is Jenn and I am a stay at home mom with two daughters. I want to share a little about our family and what your pup can expect during a stay in our home! I have always had dogs and after recently losing our beloved dog Kenzie we cherish our time spent with your pets. Leaving our beloved pets in the care of someone else can be stressful. I have definitely shed a few tears when leaving my dogs in the care of someone else! I take this into account when caring for someone else’s pet. Your dog will receive a warm and happy welcome into our home as I treat each and every doggy guest exactly how I expected my dogs to be treated. Take comfort in knowing that I will care of your dogs as if they were my own. They will receive as much love and attention as they want or need. I am home most of the day with the exception of a few dogs walks and driving my children to their activities. My husband works remotely and is typically home during the day. Your pup will never be left alone for extended periods of time. We have two daughters aged 10 and 7 who are dog lovers and big helpers! They share a love of animals with their Mama. There are a few important details to read over. I love all dogs but not all dogs are the perfect fit for our home and vice versa. Please read below. 1. Your dog MUST like children. As previously mentioned I have two daughters who are excited to snuggle and love your dog! If your pup isn’t a fan of kids then our home will not be a good fit. 2. Your dog MUST like dogs. We often have a few boarders here at a time and we will be picking up a new puppy in the summer of 2025. If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs then our home will not be a good fit. 3. I require a meet and greet before any stay. I want you to feel at ease when leaving your dog in my care. 4. I only accept potty trained dogs and offer many potty breaks/walks throughout the day. If your dog is a marker then they will not be allowed to roam free in our home and I will need to use a belly band. I take pride in our home and want it to stay clean and comfortable for my family and our doggy guests. Accidents happen but consistent marking is not ok. If use of a belly band/doggie diaper is necessary I will of course let you know. 5. Crate trained for overnight sleeping is not required but preferred. We have crates here or you are free to bring your own. I have found that most crate trained dogs prefer their own crates. I’m sure it smells like home for them. If your dog does not do well in crates (I have many that do not) we can work out a plan. Many of the crate free dogs enjoy sleeping with my girls. 6. We DO NOT have a fenced in back yard. We take take the dogs on frequent walks and and they get many potty breaks throughout the day! My husband loves hiking and enjoys taking the dogs on his adventures. The dogs play with one another and my girls love engaging the pups in play! You may end up with a picture of your dog dressed in a princess dress or attending a tea party. 7. Please make sure your dog is utd on all shots and flea/tick prevention. If you can send me copies of their vaccination records that is most helpful. 8. Please take note that my holiday rates are higher than my nightly rates. I fill up quickly for holidays as I only take 1-2 dogs over major holidays. 9. I’m flexible with pick up and drop off times and will ask the day before or day of for an estimated time of arrival. I have found it’s easier on the dogs if drop off is earlier in the day. That way they can spend time acclimating to our family. Promptness is appreciated. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I want your dog to be comfortable in our home. We truly enjoy spending time with all different dogs and they will love being with us!
