I will want to know what is important to you and base the care on what is needed. Dogs will need to be potty trained, well mannered, have basic vaccinations and on flea and tick medicine. Dogs must be comfortable being crated for a short period of time when I step out for errands or in order to feed dogs on a rotating basis so no one dog gets uncomfortable with food around. Or if a dog gets to beggy at the kitchen table while humans are eating. Again, Meet and greets are very important as it is during this time it is assessed whether all the dogs will get along for a period of time. Getting along includes play and curious interest or hey I acknowledge you and I'm cool with just being in your space. In emergent situations I can also do Rover video chats under certain circumstances to determine if a dog would be a good fit but likely after the video chat an in person meet and greet will still be required. Other information: I do have experience with dogs that are blind and hard of hearing as our senior dogs before passing experienced this. Senior dogs must be mobile enough to walk on their own to get outside and must not be in unnecessary pain. I also have experience sitting a bird as long as your bird is cool about dogs in the vicinity. Staying longer than a week can be discussed on a case by case basis.

A typical day for boarding will be based on your dogs needs this can be discussed during the initial meeting . Daycare dogs will be able to enjoy a comfy snoozing spot and fun backyard breaks with playtime. I only take dogs at my discretion and certain breeds are not accepted due to my homeowners insurance coverage. A meet and greet is a must so leave enough time before your trip to schedule a meet and greet. This is the best way to make sure all the dogs are safe and your dog is comfortable in the new home environment and the resident dogs are not stressed.
