I would want to know the dog's responsiveness to answer / return when I call, or whether the dog has a propensity to run off -- the nightmare scenario is if a dog in my care would accidentally run off or get lost! I would also like to know how energetic or "skittish" or nervous around strangers a dog is, and how well a dog gets along with other dogs. I would of course like to know some things about how well the dog is cared for -- whether rabies and other preventative shots have been administered, or whether anti-tick treatments have been applied. Of course I would like to know, what kind of regular food + treats are appropriate / not appropriate. If possible I HIGHLY recommend a pre-visit before a dog boarding. As a general rule, I do not board cats.

There are several nearby parks that I used to bring my Chocolate Lab -- we have hours and hours of fun running and hiking there. There is a long unused road a block away where I take my dog Lucy for long walks, morning and night,
