What I need to know ahead of time Before your dog's stay, please share their health background, daily routine, feeding amounts, and any medical conditions or predisposed health issues. If your dog has any condition that affects walking or eating, let me know in advance so I can prepare the home and set up feeding areas accordingly, including their own space if needed. Please also let me know if your dog has any resource guarding around food, bones, or people. Meet & Greet (FREE, 15–30 min, REQUIRED — no exceptions) Since I have kids in the home, every dog must pass a meet and greet before booking. Your dog needs to be comfortable with other dogs and good with children. If a dog marks, shows aggression, destroys property, or otherwise isn't a good fit during the meet and greet, we won't be able to accept the stay. This helps us confirm a good match upfront and avoid issues later — some dogs behave differently once actually dropped off, so this also gives us a chance to see how they interact with our son and resident dogs. Supervision & safety I supervise all dogs closely around our 8-year-old and during all backyard time. Cameras are set up throughout the home so I can check in while running errands or at the gym. Crate/pen requirement All dogs must be crate or pen trained for use while I'm out running errands. New environments can cause stress behaviors like scratching at doors, chewing, peeing on carpets or anxiety — a crate or pen keeps everyone safe during that time. We can make exceptions in some cases, so if crating is a concern, just talk to me and we'll figure out what works. 🙂 Vaccination records required Please provide up-to-date shot records before your dog's stay, including Bordetella, DHLP, and Rabies. Update your Rover profile with current photos and vaccination info — this keeps your dog and every other dog staying with us safe and healthy. Thank you! Vet & emergency info Please add your vet clinic's name and phone number to your dog's profile, along with an emergency contact in case I can't reach you. Looking forward to meeting you both soon!

A typical day includes walks, feedings, and playtime — whatever's on your dog's routine! I treat every dog in my home like my own. Throughout the day, they'll get plenty of one-on-one attention, free time in our fenced backyard, and enrichment like puzzle toys or sniff walks to keep their mind active, along with plenty of rest and quiet time in between. They'll also be right alongside us during homeschooling hours. At bedtime, alongside putting our son to bed, I read to your dog and give them a treat (if allowed) before snuggling in for the night. Reading, treats, and snuggles are all FREE with every stay. We also run HEPA filter air purifiers in every room to keep dander down and allergies at bay. Between each dog's stay, I sanitize and clean thoroughly, wash all bedding weekly, and vacuum and mop daily — each room even has its own HEPA-filter robot vacuum and mop that runs daily between cleanings.
