If it is your first time booking with me, I prefer to schedule a meet-up in advance so that your dog can meet my dog, Bodie. Bodie is a 3-year-old black lab and my best buddy! He gets along great with other dogs and gets very excited to meet them and (sniff down) their owners (for treats…)! He has gone through at home training and we reinforce regularly. If you're booking a walk/drop-in, please inform me of any food/water and bathroom needs, as well as if there is a particular route I should walk your dog. Please also share instructions for parking, as well as entering/exiting the house or neighborhood – I want to make sure your dog and home are safe when I leave!

"Play hard, nap hard" tends to be our pattern during the day! I play inside and outside with my dog and any guest pups throughout the morning and afternoon, with intermittent quiet time and naps throughout the day. My yard is fenced in, so your dog can run around safely. I have balls, frisbees, durable toys, and even a doggie swimming pool that I fill up from time to time! We will go on a walk as long as the heat index is not too high. Basically, your dog will be on vacation while you're away :) We tend to spend the last two hours before bed settling down, which is when I typically send updates to my families who are boarding a dog with us. I am more than happy to provide additional updates as requested and I generally do so if it is a family’s first time boarding their dog with us. I can accommodate any feeding, medication, and sleeping regimens. We are also more than happy to share treats, toys, food/water bowls, leashes, harnesses, towels, and doggie bags! I do have a crate if your dog is used to sleeping in a crate at night. All you need to bring is their food supply and any special items you think might make them feel more comfortable and happy while they are staying with me.
