**ATTENTION ALL POTENTIAL NEW CLIENTS- PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FIVE (5) POINTS BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST** 1. We are open to new dog boarding clients, HOWEVER, if your dog/puppy is not housebroken (this means- still having accidents in the house, chewing issues, etc) they MUST be crate-trained. We cannot take dogs who are dog or cat aggressive. There are NO exceptions. 2. ALL DOGS MUST BE PROPERLY LEASH-TRAINED. We can handle puppies that are still learning, but ask that you have a no-pull/front-clip harness for them to walk on. However, we can no longer accept untrained-on-leash adult dogs. Our fenced-in area is not connected to our home and requires us to walk all dogs up to the area, therefore, we can only accept dogs who walk well (without severe pulling) on leash. 3. WE CANNOT TAKE DOGS WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY- all dogs that stay with us must be comfortable being in a room (ie, non-destructive), by themselves, without a human for a few minutes to an hour. If they are not able to do that, then they MUST BE CRATE-TRAINED and WELL-BEHAVED IN THE CRATE. 3a. CRATE-TRAINED MEANS: they are comfortable going into their crate, they are able to be left in their crate for 1-2 hours without issue, and if necessary, able to sleep the night (6-8 hours), in the crate, without any major issues. 4. MEET AND GREETS ARE REQUIRED AT LEAST ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, no exceptions. We CANNOT accommodate same day requests for new clients. 5. YOU MUST HAVE A COMPLETED PET PROFILE: I will NOT respond to requests that do not have their pet profiles filled out. We require all dogs that stay with us be fixed, housebroken, leash-trained, and they must be on flea & tick prevention. Finally, I truly hate writing in caps lock, but with almost 10 years experience of caring for dogs in my own home via Rover, I have found it is easier to make our requirements extremely clear from the start. I hope you all can appreciate and understand that. ********* We are two dog-loving fools living on 116 acres- we basically live in a park! There are two ponds, lots of space to run, a mountain to climb if your dog is up to it, and furry friends for your pal to play with. We have a fenced-in area as well! Resident animals: Chico is a 4 year old Sato mix from Puerto Rico. He is very sweet, loves cuddling and especially loves girl dogs. Emrick is a 4 year old half Rottie/half mutt mix, also from Puerto Rico, and she loves everyone and every dog. She will play for about 10 minutes and then nap for 2 hours. Stu the Cat is a handsome tuxedo fella who LOVES ALL DOGS. That’s why we adopted him- he loves dogs too much to not live with us. Your dog will have the run of the land and house and will receive tons of attention and love. If your dog needs to be on leash during a walk, no problem! If your dog has a specific walking schedule or needs special attention, we are more than happy to accommodate those requests. We make an effort to keep the dog's schedule as regular as possible, so that way they're a happy pup when you come home! A little about us: Between the both of us we have over 40 years of dog owning experience under our belt. Meaghan is the full-time employee of this operation, while Mike is a swim coach who works evenings, so playtime is always supervised and if we need to leave the house, it is for a minimal amount of time. All dogs are kept in safe areas that work for them, whether it be their own crate from home, a room in our house, or roaming free from couch to couch. We accommodate you and your pet and will discuss every option with you before the stay. Any questions, please ask! We look forward to treating your dog to some country comfort while you're out of town.
