I care for other people’s pets, how I care for my own. With lots of love and lots of care. I’m a dog mom so I know the sense of worry that comes from leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care. I have tons of “activities” I do to help distract the dogs and keep their minds busy and not focused on the fact their owners are not there. I’ve learned that every pup is different some don’t eat, some get really high anxiety and some get depressed especially in new environments away from home. I do take my daughter to school 5 minuets from the house in the mornings and pick her up at 5. I do have the dining room blocked off, they will spend most their time in there especially at night depending on how many I have boarding, I do separate small dogs from the bigger. The small dogs will stay in the back of the house with me and my shih szu cat and husband, we will let them outside through the garage door into the backyard so no incidents can occur with the bigger dogs. ( the sliding glass door that goes outside is in the dining area ) Where the dining room is fenced off . I do have a live feed camera you can access of the indoor area we keep the pups and outside so you can check in whenever you want to see what your fur baby is up to. In our old house we had a shaded area assembled with lots of toys and balls and puppy pool and splash pad to keep everyone cool and enjoying our outside time. We often had trouble getting the dogs to come back inside 😅 we will sort of the same during the summer months!
