I have been, always will be a dog lover! I've owned several breeds over the years in all sizes and temperaments...from an oversized cuddly 90-lb American Bulldog to a boss-lady 15-lb dachshund. Right now, we have our 2nd lady dachshund who has yet to meet a stranger in dog or human form, one "big baby" Doberman, and one indoor/outdoor cat who will cuddle up right next to the dogs! I have 2 kids who have been around our dogs and dog parks their entire lives and we have "trained" them how to behave around dogs. Our last 3 pups we have each gotten at 8-10 weeks old so I am knowledgeable about the time, effort, and training puppies need from the beginning. I have also cared for my former boss' elderly dog several times at our home for weeks at a time who has round-the-clock medication and potty needs...she no longer boards him at a kennel! We have kept family and friends' pups at our home when they're on trips or having work done on homes, and have made visits to their home during extended working days. *I work for a local school system during the week so my weekday availability is around school hours. Just message me for particular scheduling requests! **I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare since we have recently moved and do not have our full fencing in place yet. Hopefully I will be able to activate those services again soon! While not a requirement, if at all possible I do prefer every new booking to have a brief meet & greet so your pup(s) or kitty can get acquainted with me! I've found it also helps put the owners at ease to get to meet me beforehand and get to communicate all the ins and outs of the environment and routine.
