My husband and I currently have a 2 year old dog, and I have had experience (along with my more experienced husband) raising and training three will loved dogs (a Great Dane, a chow-lab mix, and our current border collie-German shepherd mix). Our home offers a medium, sub-divided fenced yard where dogs can run and play on good-weather days, and plenty of nice trails in wooded areas very close-by for walks. We love pets, and know the need (and concerns that come along with it) of finding someone else to look after ours while traveling. We'll look forward to meeting your pet, making them (and you) happy and relieved of stress while without them, and making sure we understand any and all of your concerns regarding his/her care. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER ADVANTAGE Francis has been trained in fine arts and photography and has the professional equipment to back him up. He has photographed for weddings, newspapers, and fine art and he happily brings his talent and enthusiasm to all of his photographic endeavors including that of photographing the pets under his care. With 100% photo rate, pet owners can be assured they will receive photo updates. These updates typically are of a resolution sufficient for small prints. If you are interested in receiving full resolution digital images (24 Megapixels), you can request them for $10 for an individual photo or $50 for full resolution photos of the entire stay. PS: Please note we also have a small indoor-outdoor cat, Sylvia, at the house, who generally tolerates our dog visitors fine ;), and also that our nightly boarding rate is calculated based on a 24 hour period of time - If you'd need to leave your dog with us much more than a time frame that covers 24 hour "nights," (ie early drop offs, and late pick ups) we may incorporate our dog daycare rate into a custom quote. SPECIAL NEEDS As for dogs with special needs such as oral or injection medication. We are experienced in delivery of medication. If medication requires more than simply being included in the food during meals, we ask for an additional $3 per oral or $5 per injection.
