We are a family with dogs, different dogs all year. We treat your dogs as one of our family, either in our home, on dog walks, or when visiting your pets in your home. We live in a small neighborhood off gold-hill road, a dog-friendly walkable community. I'm a work-at-home mom whose youngest is in 2nd grade. my 13 year old helps care for the dogs in our home, and my oldest does in-home drop-ins, walks, and overnights in your pets home. I enjoy exercising w/ dogs outdoors for walks or wooded hikes while my kids are at school. My family and I love having furry friends in our home and as part of our livelihood. We provide basic obedience reinforcement and tailor activities to your dogs' familiar routines. I find a well-exercised dog is content and happy. We either walk, or play in the large fenced yard daily. Dogs have outside fenced access whenever they ask. I’m home often only leaving for sporadic errands and daily dog walks, between 10 AM-2 PM. I currently have openings each day during this daily dog walk window. I start my visit/ walking clock when I begin & end contact w/ your dog(s). At home, my guest dogs and I keep each other company throughout the day. In my home office, I often have resting dogs gathered around my feet. When my children are home they romp in the backyard with our guest dogs or we take a walks through the wooded trail. When I leave the home I make sure your dog is safe. I have a large indoor dog room w/ crates, beds, toys & water. Most dogs are secured in crates w/ in this room when I leave but if not comfortable can stay w/ in the dog room. My three boys and I (8, 13, & 18) love caring for dogs in our home because of all the great breeds and personalities we encounter. We also find that dog people ( owners) are some of the best people. My dog Aary loves that we board dogs because she has ample revolving play dates and maintains her well-socialized temperament. ~ Each night is billed on a 24 hour cycle ~ Early drop off ( before 7:45 A:M) is additional. ~ A hard or emailed copy of up to date vaccinations, rabies & bordetella, are required.
