I understand your pet is truely a member of your family and leaving for work, travel or life it's hard to leave your pets. No one likes to leave their beloved animals at a kennel so matter what fancy name it has. Your dog like mine doesn't buy into the fact a "spa" is a kennel. Your animals need and want attention and deserve it. I have had a wonderful Labrador retriever that I hunted with and inherited a jack russel terrier and meshed them well with a new family. Currently I have an Australian Labradoodle and a Golden Doddle. I work from home so if you want your dogs to have some friends or if you want me to come walk them and get them outside I love to exercise and walk dogs. I'm very patient and very loving person who would send you pictures, play and generally make your dog feel at home
