Pet care experience
Home full-time with fenced yard
Retired portrait photographer with Experience handling small dog packs for nearly 30 years. Your dog is treated like family with affection and attention in my comfortable home with secure fenced yard. Since April 2022 I have hosted over 500 dogs, and have over 60 repeat clients. Occasionally will approve larger dogs if well trained, submissive to other dogs and non barker. Set up a meet and greet IF YOU HAVE RULED OUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALREADY. I am also a portrait photographer, and you may see the best photos ever taken of your dog during their stay. I send photos and videos of their activities daily. I will have other dogs here, frequently they make friends. I am here full time and supervise everything, nobody gets bullied. We spend a lot of time in the yard throwing balls encouraging activity. We are up for first potty at 5:30. Open door hours 8 am to 8 pm. I have quiet hours for my neighbors so they don’t complain. If your travel involves early departure, please request booking start for the day before. All first time clients come for a meeting before confirming a stay. Shots must be current. Boarding agreement required. I look forward to meeting you!

Schedule
I'm home full time, and used to waking around 5:30 am to let the dogs out. The dogs are let out to potty at least every other hour, fresh water is available all the time and changed every other hour. Breakfast is between 7 and 9 and dinner is around 4 pm. Bedtime preparations begin around 9 and they get settled for the night by 10 pm. Evening pickups are limited to 8:30 pm out of consideration to my neighbors. When a dog leaves, the others bark like crazy. I am trying to preserve my relationship with my neighbors and not get reported to my HOA...
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard with double fence to the gate, and my kitchen and family room is separated by gate from the rest of the house. I also have a smaller gated area at the patio door which helps control excited eating during feeding time by separating dogs. The dogs have supervised run of the kitchen and family room and backyard, and my cats do not come into the dog area (closed off by doors-kitchen/family room) they have the rest of the house. There is a pool in my backyard but few dogs care. . There is a grassy runway around the side and back of the yard to play chase and ball. The fence is reinforced with rabbit fencing to prevent escape. Gates are closed at all times. Dogs are fed spaced far enough apart to prevent resource guarding and speed eating in order to steal their neighbor's food. Fresh water is available in multiple locations at all times. In person meet and greet is requested to confirm a booking.

A typical day
We spend alot of time out back together. We have balls for fetch, cots under the patio cover.,The backdoor is open all day. There are several water bowl stations that get changed frequently. My desk is at the patio door, which is open all day. I can see everything from there, but I spend alot of time outside with them.
