The PAW’nd-erosa, a place for your pooch to stay and play ...providing care for small dogs only (under 30#) …where your doggie(s) can feel at home while hanging out in a quiet country setting with our family …for a few hours, a day (or two or three or more), for a week (or two) or pretty much whatever you need! PET REQUIREMENTS: Daycare and boarding for small dogs only Strongly prefer to meet first-time guests to ensure a good fit for all All ages and (gentle, well-behaved) pups *under 30#* welcome Guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations Dogs *must* be house-broken, kennel-trained -and- gentle No "drooling" dogs, please Special TLC for Seniors Every attempt made to meet any pet’s needs ABOUT ME: From the moment I heard about DogVacay (now Rover), I knew how I wanted to fill my time during retirement. My hubby and I have been dog owners all our lives and in our 42-year-marriage, our home has been “home away from home” for many four-legged friends. The PAW'nd-erosa provides personalized, caring, in-home pet services to folks with small dogs that they do not get from kennels. OUR HOME: • Fenced yard • Pets allowed on furniture • Great for all ages • Smoke-free environment • Air conditioned inside • Guest kennels available (inside, next to our doggie’s kennels). For the safety of your dog(s), all dogs (including ours) will be kenneled if I must leave the house. • HOURS: Drop-offs and pick-ups between 9a and 6p, please (to give our current guests the attention and care you desire). Please extend the stay if you need drop-off or pick-up between 6p and 9a. We have lived on The POND-erosa (a tad bit under three acres)--(5 miles) West of Loveland for 28+ years. No need to travel to town to the dog park: Our dogs have a large house and a huge, fully fenced, back yard to run and play (and the fence is high). OUR RESIDENT PETS: Currently we have two dogs who love having other friends to play with: • Chewie, a male Norfolk Terrier mix, age 3-ish (a rescue adopted from ARR/Animal Rescue of the Rockies) • Addy, the female Brittany Spaniel, age 9, who came to live with us because she would not stay in her yard in Denver Our dogs are kennel-trained, and we need our guests to be also, so please bring your dog’s “home” (and their bed and/or blanket) when you visit. We have found that kennels provide a spot where dogs feel safe and can rest when they need quiet time (kennel doors are always left open unless I must leave for a bit). I prefer to meet guests prior to being a first-time boarder to ensure a good fit. Since I welcome boarders into every aspect of our lives, and want them to be “part of the family”, I want everyone to feel comfortable during their visit to The PAW’nd-erosa. (Slightly higher Holiday rates apply during these peak times of the year.) NOTE to REPEAT GUESTS: Should my calendar appear booked, please reach out to me. It may be that some guests are leaving and some are arriving on a given day which makes me appear "full" when I really am not. I do not want to miss an opportunity to care for your pup(s) again (we LOVE our repeat guests!).
