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 which is currently empty while I wait on repair. It has gates around the perimeter. 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. About 15 minutes for introductions to see how the dog is going to respond to my dogs. This is only needed for the first meeting, and allows you see where your pet will be vacationing with Auntie Kim. I do this full time *** Damaged property policy- On occasion some thing have been damaged or destroyed by chewing- area rugs, dog beds, irrigation drip lines. If I notify you of such things, it is appreciated if effort is made to replace them either with an actual item or monetary compensation. Drip line damages will cost me more than your dog's entire stay most likely. A dog bed can be replaced more easily, doesn't have to be new, but in good condition. A recent chewer put holes in 3 of my dog beds and the owner had no response. Frequent dog bed replacement is not in my budget.
