Your dog's temperament around children and other dogs is our top priority. With that in mind we do require a meet and greet prior to any service. What is a meet and greet?: This is a way for me to find out if I am a good fit for you and your pup. It is no cost to you and is set up prior to any stay or service on a day and time that works for you. What does a Meet and Greet for Boarding or Daycare look like?: If you need boarding or daycare services we will set up a meet and greet at my home. My dog Rio and I will meet you in our driveway, leashed, on the day of the meet and greet. This allows the dogs to meet on a more neutral territory. After exiting your car we will all take a quick walk down the dead end. This allows some of the initial excitement to wear down. If all is going well (no growling, raised hair, nipping etc.) we will move to the fenced in back yard. At this point we usually let our guest dog off leash and the sniffing begins! Generally dogs new to our yard spend the majority of the time sniffing or running because there are lots of new smells and lots of space! Lastly, I will have my children come meet your dog one or two at a time. This helps to not overwhelm your pet. My husband will also gladly meet your pet if he is available during the day and time we pick for our meet and greet. Other things we like to know about your pet: ~strong likes/dislikes of your pup? ~specific commands you use with your dog so we can be consistent? ~any dietary restrictions? ~where your dog prefers to sleep (dog bed, kennel, etc.) ? ~does your dog have any separation anxiety? ~ Is your pet up to date on vaccines and on a flea and tick preventative? What does a Meet and Greet for Walks or Drop ins look like?: This meet and greet is done where the service is taking place, in your home. This meet and greet will give your pet the chance to see me in their home with you before any service. The main purpose is to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and that I will be a good fit for your needs. We will also cover how you would like me to enter your home and any specific needs of your pet.

We have a large fenced in yard with lots of room to run! We have many dog toys to chase and play with and even have small kiddie pool for dogs that like the water during hot months! We also live near a wooded walking/biking trail that welcomes dogs.
