Our dog has the rule of the roost at our house! Our home is set up in a very dog-friendly way in order to accommodate her having access to pretty much every area of our home. We are not super strict about dogs being on the furniture and truly want them to be as close as they are comfortable at all times. We have stairs to our bedrooms and to the finished basement as well as a fenced in yard (city yard, quite small.) In your home, it's your rules, so please be specific about where your dog has access to or if there are accessibility specifics I should know about. During a daycare stay, dogs get full roam of the first floor (living room, kitchen) with backyard access every hour. Walks are midday, unless specified otherwise. We have lots of toys and encourage you to keep yours at home unless they are a comfort for your pet in a new space. Our dog will always be present for daycare, so if your dog requires a single dog house, please do not book daycare with us! During an overnight stay pups get access to the second floor where the dog beds are kept. Our room door is kept open. We accommodate dogs who want to be close or far based on their comfort level, while keeping them within a safe range. A late night potty break before bed is usual, and keeping them on the same floor as us minimizes accidents since I can get up quickly if I hear them being restless. If your dog sleeps in a crate we will set it up in the guest room next to ours. If for any reason both my partner and I need to leave the home at the same time the dogs will be separated in our absence. Morna stays upstairs in our room with the doors closed and your pup have full run of the downstairs they are accustomed to. We will never leave a dog in a crate while our dog is in the same space free-roaming. When possible we take our dog with us on short trips, she enjoys car rides! We do not take our dog to people-centric public locations unless we are positive we have ample space for our dog to be a dog! If your dog enjoys car rides please let us know and we will bring them along as well, so long as you are comfortable. Places we do not bring our dog include; the grocery store, restaurants or bars, busy streets with narrow sidewalks and lots of traffic (if we can avoid it, it is a city!), spaces they are not allowed like school yards, playgrounds, or any park that is not fenced in like a traffic roundabout. If we are walking your dog, location limits where we can go. We want your dog to remain stress-free and in their routine. Smaller dogs also have a lot more privileges in people-centric spaces versus our 50lb lab mix! Please let us know what your dog loves and how much we can include them!
