Information Margaret M. would like to know about your pet

temperament with other dogs, any food aggressions, special quirks, crate training or use of wood gates for limiting access, feeding schedules, cues for good behaviors and commands. That is why we require the meet and greet before committing to a booking and to have the owners fill out our questionnaire.

A typical day

We play with the dogs in the back which is fenced. In the yard they can watch the birds, deer, rabbits romp around. We love to play fetch or chase or tug.

Pet care experience

We do require a meet and greet for all initial stays at our home. We do occasionally have more than one dog here if we know the dogs are dog friendly. I have always had a dog or two in my life until recently. My husband and I will take care of all dogs as if they are our own- with love and affection. . We volunteer as transporters for dogs rescued from kill shelters and help move them to fosters, non-kill shelters and other rescues thru transport runs. We have also fostered rescues at various times. Should you require our services please contact us. We do have a questionnaire that asks potential clients to fill out at the meet and greet to let us know about YOUR dog's habits and quirks, their schedules and contact emergency information. We want your dog's stay to be a doggone good time. We also have cameras located throughout the house so if we both leave to do errands we can check in on the "kids"

Jax was super happy with his recent stay with Margaret and her hubby. He was happy to hang out with the other dog they were boarding at the same time. Margaret sent daily pics and updates on Jax’s stay. We were very pleased with the care and attention he received and will book again with Margaret. 😃

Margaret and her husband Allan took very good care of our two dogs. They were very accommodating when we needed to extend our visit because of flight delays. The dogs were very happy and relaxed as well.
