My goal is to make your dog feel loved and pampered while you are away. I want our home to be your pet's home away from home. We have 28 acres to run and play. Inside, we usually keep the dogs with us on the main floor but can also offer a no-stair entrance for dogs with hip weakness or other physical challenges. We have a miniature poodle playmate who is certified by Pet Partners for therapy service. I have owned and cared for numerous breeds large and small. I competed for several years in dog agility trials, training the dogs in obedience and safe execution of obstacles. I am flexible in my pet care routines and can accomodate different needs and requests depending on the owner's wishes. I love pets in my lap! Licks are welcome. But I understand some owners don't want that and I will comply. I look forward to getting to know and care for your best friend. (BTW, there is some flexibility in my rates, depending on number of dogs and also for stays longer than a week. )
