I require emergency and veterinary contact for your dog. I want to be aware of any allergies or foods to avoid. Please tell me if your dog is a picky eater or may avoid eating altogether so I won't be apt to make veal cordon bleu to tempt them. I would like to know if your dog is fearful of or aggressive toward cats, other dogs, people, or children so I can avoid contact. I want to know how your dogs sleeps at night; in your bed or his/her own. I accept dogs who are house-trained and not incontinent. Neutered and spayed is preferable but not mandatory. Boarding charges are in 24 hour increments from the time you drop your dog off with me. Rover is now charging for extra hours depending on when you drop off and pick up.

Your dog becomes a member of our small family. He or she gets up with us and goes to bed with us. During the day there are many snuggles and playtime. Small dogs sleep on the foot of the bed; larger one's on pads, crates or blankets in our room, preferably on something with a familiar smell. Your dog will walk around the neighborhood and to the small park across from my home. Weather permitting, we may visit Wonderwood and Rainier Vista Parks. I have trained dogs in obedience, agility and tracking and will keep them walking safely by my side. For control purposes, I prefer non-flexi-leashes.
