As a pet owner for the last 30 years I offer absolutely what a kennel cannot provide...a home away from home for your pup! I used this service for our dog while we went on vacation and getting photos of our Bear every day, updates on how he was doing was so crucial to us being assured he was doing wonderful in our absence! After that experience and purchasing a home we wanted to provide the same kind of service for other families. We have two small children so dog must be child friendly. I am a Stay at home mom so I go on lots of walks with the kids and dogs on the many walking trails near us! Our pure lab Bear is the gentlest giant- he absolutely LOVES small dogs as we used to have two of them. He is gentle and very lazy with them. With larger dogs he is great, will usually just leave them alone and is not food aggressive at all. Will play occasionally but again, is just super lazy so Bear is 90% of the time laying down sleeping or resting. I have experience working dogs through separation anxiety and I will love on yours as if it were my own fur baby. Dogs are allowed to sleep wherever, the kids love playing with them and know how to be gentle, and the kids will never be left alone with your pup while in our care. We have a dog cam (basically a nanny cam) so whenever we need to leave we can ensure your pup is supervised 24/7 with the app we use to watch and listen. Our home is very carpeted so really great for older dogs and our stairs can be fenced if necessary! We have a fenced grassy yard so they will have the freedom to run and play when desired. We spend a lot of time playing with the kids outside so dogs usually love playing catch with our little ones!
