I have had pets since I was a kid (cats, dogs, even rescued a baby squirrel once) and love taking care of them. We've got a 8-year-old pointer mix named Bailey (adopted 2/12/23); and he LOVES playing with other dogs - especially the little ones! He's very friendly and cuddly, but can be timid and anxious around dogs bigger than him due to some traumatic experiences he's had in his past. Bailey got 2 sister kittens, Hazel and Willow, in October, 2025 and is so great with them! They're used to having dogs over and it's so fun to watch them attempt to play. Sometimes I think Willow believes she's a tiny dog herself; she loves playing fetch and trying to get dogs to chase her with her little cat toys! I also have two children, Aurora (17) and Jude (14) who both LOVE animals and help out quite a bit with caring for our furry guests. I keep extra supplies, like bowls, treats, toys, etc., so the only thing you should need to bring is your dog's food and anything from home you think would make them more comfortable. I have 2 extra kennels, one big (36") and one small (24"), but I prefer not to use kennels unless your doggo needs it. You can use my kennels instead of lugging yours around as long as they're available during that stay (their use is on a first-booked first-served basis). We look forward to watching your furry friend!
