Privacy fencing with locked gates surrounds the private yard along with a smaller pea gravel gated area within for those muddy Ohio days. Cameras and a security system monitor the 1.3 acre property at all times. The dogs have no stairs access to the secure yard from my living room for supervised play time so there is no worry of a runaway situation and mobility issues are not a concern to access the yard. Inside your dogs are welcome to lounge around on the furniture. There are plenty of blankets available for snuggling and toys to play with. Having pets of my own I usually do not allow boarding dogs free run of the entire house as the cats find that a bit overwhelming 😉 but if your polite, well behaved pups want to play or just hang out with my dogs that is encouraged. When you arrive there will be barking, probably lots of it 😂 it is usually best to keep drop off brief so everyone can settle in quickly.
