ABOUT US: Hello, I'm Kim, the full-time pack leader here at "Camp Canine"! It's my great pleasure to provide exceptional dog care for small groups of dogs in my home. Our days are crafted much like a camp as we move through activities together; walks, playtime, rest, chores, and sleep. During mealtimes, each dog is fed separately and we also have the ability to give private space (dog-gated) to dogs that may just want a breather from the group from time to time. Most all of our clients are socially inclined dogs though we occasionally accept dogs that may be a little anxious and need extra attention. We love seeing their growth as they come out of their shell and into their empowered dog bodies! Pups that stay with us always leave with a smile, having filled their hearts with developmentally appropriate "pack time". Over the past couple of years of hosting "camp", we've built up a beautiful community of regulars who know the ropes here and enjoy it when new friends join us from Rover. I am the full-time pack leader, but we also have my husband Jon (who takes active dogs on runs) and our 13-year-old daughter Kat (who doles out the loving belly scratches). Our family intentionally has no pets of our own. Your pups become like an extended family to us. A PEEK INTO OUR DAY: Typically a day around our house begins around 6-6:30 am with potty, breakfast, and a nice long morning walk. (Dogs with extra energy are invited to run in the evening with Jon while I take those who prefer to walk). Besides walks, we spend most of our day alternating backyard play and indoor rest. And please note: if dogs are outside in our backyard, I am ALWAYS with them, tuned in, leading the pack. At night, we are flexible with sleep space. Dogs that enjoy the comfort of their crate or have a special dog bed should bring theirs, but we are also well-supplied with comfy dog beds and soft plop spots all around our house. Generally, most dogs choose to sleep in our room with us camp style! We do sometimes allow dogs to sleep on our bed if they ask to, particularly if they are nervous and need that extra feeling of security. But if you would prefer them not to, just let us know.
