**Kids in the House** Please make sure your doggie(s) likes kiddos as we have a 6-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl who like to give lots of pets. We love all dogs but cannot accept aggressive breeds, destructive dogs or dogs that mark in the house. **Puppies** An accident or two is no biggie, but we ask that your pet be 90% potty trained if he/she is a puppy. There is an additional fee for puppies under one year. **Other Dogs in the House** It is likely your doggies will be around others during their stay, especially if your vacation is planned around a school or national holiday. Just a heads up they will need to be able to play nice around others. My max is 3 or 4 dogs, possibly 5 if they are all very small. We take time to introduce each new guest so everyone can get acquainted for their stay. All the doggies usually have a great time, and we have had no need to separate anyone yet! **Crate Training** We allow our doggies to roam free downstairs in the house while we are home, but all dogs will be crated at night or if we have to leave the home — both for their safety and the protection of our furnishings. Being crate-trained means they can happily sleep in their crate at night or hang out for an hour or two while we run to the store. We really don't prefer dogs to sleep with us, but if they happen to end up in our room/bed because of barking/crying (aka no one can sleep ;P), I will charge an extra $10 per night per dog. I ask that you supply the dog's crate for their stay so they have a familiar bed to feel safe. **Feeding** We are happy to feed your dog whatever you provide, so please ensure they have enough food for their stay. I will try to accommodate continuous feeding pet parents, though I often have to give a set time limit for meals so I can separate dogs...this is so they don't eat each other's food and get a tummy ache. If your dog won't eat his meal at meal time, I'll offer it again a little later. They usually come around by the next meal time. ***Drop Off/Pick-Up*** If you drop off in the morning or afternoon, please also plan to pick up in the morning or afternoon. The dog boarding rate is for 24 hours and any additional time beyond the 24 hour period the following day will incur the doggie daycare rate of $25. Thanks!

We will go on walks in the neighborhood daily and play fetch or chase in the fenced backyard. We have cool wood floors for lounging and lots of windows to look out and bark.
