If you're looking for a fun, attentive, safe, loving environment where your pup feels right at home while you are away, then you've found your home away from home for your dog! I have taken care of several dogs over the past 30 years consistently. This has been the first time that I do not have my own pup. I am very much missing having a dog around, and I have several little helpers that also miss having their own pup and they are eager to love on yours! When we lost our pup of 18 years, we thought taking care of other dogs was the perfect way to get to love on pups still! Your dog will be treated like one of the family and get lots of attention while in our home. We have a fenced yard with a pool and a great neighborhood for walking. We are home full time, so your dog will get potty breaks/outside time as often as they want. We will take them on walks daily as well, as long as they are young and capable. I'm happy to give medications/treats. Our last pup was 18 when he passed, so we have great experience with puppies (as young as 2 months old) all the way to the senior and special needs pups. Play will be in abundance for your dog. They will get plenty of attention while they are here. If they are older and not exactly interested in playing much, that's great too! There will be plenty of snuggles and scratches to go around to keep your dog comfortable while staying with us! There's no lack of love to go around for your furry family member! We only take one dog at a time unless the same house has multiple dogs that have proven to get along with one another. We just want to be sure the environment is great for your dog and not mix two pups that don't get along. Since we do have young kiddos in the home, if your dog has issues with aggression towards people or hasn't had much exposure to children, please consider this when choosing us. We want your dog to feel comfortable. We will kennel or put your dog in the laundry room with a blanket/water while we are away for their safety. We have a kennel we can use if you do not have your own that you prefer. We will make sure they are comfortable, cozy, cool/warm given the season, so they feel comfortable if we are away. Again, we are home full time, so it would only be for a short while if we have to run out during the day. If your pup has any toys they love, we can ensure those are in their kennel or laundry room so they feel safe and comfortable if we are away at all. At night, most pups want to be with my kiddos upstairs in their room, but we are happy to accommodate however is best suited for your dog individually. I'll send pictures and updates throughout your pups stay so you can see the fun they are having while in our home! We're excited to love on your pup!
