It is absolutely crucial that you reward your most loyal, dedicated best friend companion by Never taking them to cheap boarders that throw your fur baby right in a cage after you drop them off....Dogs do amazing as long as they are entertained, played with and shown ,there are in a safe,fun loving place. I insure every dog,and will not risk even taking a go if they are not up to dates on all shots. ******Beware of cheap boarders (always do meet & greets***** I pay over 128,00 a night because 3 boarders swore not to crate my dog 1st time had pressure sores...2nd time awful UTI 3rd time lady swore but I went day early unannounced...I saw my dog in dark,cold basement with 5 other scared non stop barking dogs...I called her and she had nerve to lie and send pre made video ( said your dog & I are at the park).... I said you got half hour get home, pay me and I'm taking one of your biggest, best crates & you change your profile and lessen price and tell owners you work all day.... I will not leave dog first entire 24 hours....I charge 75 to weed out owners that don't want best care for their dogs....I bond with my pact and I only take one dog at a time but I do have huge fence yard, Zipline and I hired professional boarders. I take pride that your dog will get non stop love , attention. I do not want owners that are selfish and go have blast on vacation and take dogs to 35,00 night throw in cage while you're loyal companion scaredcll week.. I draw up contract and if week stay I welcome friends family member to do one surprise check in. I do have to leave an hour here and thier and depending on dogs temperament I will either buy huge crate in living room where my shepherd will keep company or he can have entire bedroom,bed,toys but home 78 PERCENT TIME... MY REGULARS WILL TELL YOU THIER DOGS GO NUTS WITH EXCITEMENT WHEN RETURNING BEWARE,IF YOUR DOG CRIES , HOWELS,PEES,SHAKES RETURN TO A BOARDER...DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOG... BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR DOG SAYING THEY WERE CRATED,ALONE,YELEDD,IGNORED.... YOU GET WAT YOU PAY FOR .... SOMETIMES NEW CLIENTS I MIGHT DROP PRICE A LITTLE your dog with a fun place where they are not just thrown in a crate alone & scared pile 5 dogs in crates to make more money and I'm retired and home entire time,not leaving your dog in crates why off to work... The first 24 hours I walk your dog around entire house and yard and let them know my couch , bed and yard it THIERS.. Interview your boarder and make sure they just don't throw them in crates all alone with other barking dogs...they are afraid and scared... Repay your love by rewarding them with non stop fun, attention and love...
