❤️1+ Acre Fenced Yard ❤️ Highly Experienced ❤️ Training & Photography Offered! ❤️ If you have to be away, let your dog come relax at their home away from home. Hi pet parents! My name is Meghan. I am a freelance photographer and dog trainer who has loved and taken care of dogs my entire life. I work from home, giving me lots of time to dote on your favorite pup. With a fully fenced yard and a home constructed around the happiness and safety of my high energy German Shorthaired Pointers, your dog will be very safe, loved like my own, and constantly entertained. My home is structured around the comfort of my own "kids" as well as yours. We have a fully fenced 1 acre yard, which can be sectioned into three separate areas as needed. There are plenty of spacious areas, multiple beds for relaxing, and well as a slip-free matted space for play and training. My own two dogs, Tavi and Mandi, love visitors and playing with visiting friends! My dog savvy husband and I often take a team approach to providing for the animals in our care, which means your pets will receive extra love and attention during their stay. Each pet's experience is tailored to their individual needs. During their stay, your dogs are always my number one priority. When working with pets I also put great value in communication with their people. Before caring for your pet, I will take an extensive history from you and review any questions or concerns you may have. While in my care your dog will be treated with the utmost respect and kindness, you will be provided with frequent updates, and you will have access to my personal contact information. I understand the stress that leaving your pet can cause, but you can rest assured knowing that your animals will be cared for as if they are my own. I have extensive training experience, with a special focused paid to generalized obedience, behavior modification, and specialized training for service dogs and competition sports. I spent years training and caring for horses as well, which has given me great insight into the nuances of dog training. My own dogs and I spend many days in the woods and fields, and enjoy participating in various dog sports (agility, dock diving, hunting, and conformation -- Think Westminster!).  - - - Detailed below is additional information regarding what to bring and what I ask of all pet parents to keep your pets happy and comfortable. I am more than happy to care for puppies, elderly and special needs dogs, behaviorally challenged dogs and dogs that are intact. If you have a non-canine friend in need of supervision, let me know. I love to work with other animals as well. Meet & Greet and Introductions: The Meet & Greet is a fabulous way for your pup to meet me, as well as for you to see where they will be staying and ask any questions you might have. Please keep in mind I do *not* introduce dogs at Meet & Greets. To allow for a safe and positive experience, all dogs are slowly introduced in a controlled manner when they come for their stay. Do you have a dog that needs custom 24/7 care? Though no pet will ever be left alone for long, I am more than happy to devote all of my time to your pet alone. For this I adjust my schedule so I can stay with them 24/7. This is a wonderful option for pets recovering from medical procedures, those with separation anxiety, and for elderly pets who need extra care. Because I accept no other clients during these custom stays, this option does come with an additional charge. - - - You will be provided with a pet hosting form and vet release before your pet’s stay. Please make sure to fill these out before drop off! Feel free to call or email with any questions or concerns that come up before your stay. WHAT TO BRING
 To help make your pet as comfortable as possible during your time away, please be sure to bring:  A collar with identification, a 4-6ft leash (no flexi leads please), their food, a crate, proof of vaccinations, and any medications needed. Though not necessary, it is also helpful to provide your pet's food bowl, any training aids they are accustomed to, and familiar treats, chews and toys. POLICIES AND EXTRAS 1. For their safety and comfort, an appropriately sized crate is REQUIRED for any dog staying with me. Due to the importance of this, dogs dropped off without an appropriate crate will not be accepted.
 2. To keep all of the animals under my care healthy and disease free, proof of vaccination(s) and/or titres are required for each animal. For your dog’s safety, they must be up to date on Distemper, Parvo, Rabies and Bordetella. An intestinal worm check must be current within a year, and all dogs must be on monthly flea and heartworm treatment. 
*Exceptions will be made only with a note from your veterinarian.
 3, Late Booking Fee: Need to go away on an emergency? No problem! Because we waive the meet & greet for this and must adjust our scheduled appointments, a $20 fee will be added to any service not booked with at least 48 hours prior notice. A Meet & Greet is highly encouraged before any bookings are accepted, so booking in advance is very much recommended!

During boarding stays, pick up on departure day is included from 8am-10am. Your pet is more than welcome to stay longer by scheduling daycare. Dogs dropped off or picked up outside of the scheduled time will incur a $20 convenience charge.

All other inquiries will be handled between 8AM and 5PM. - - - SERVICES OFFERED • Boarding — Don’t want your pups home alone while you’re gone? If so, boarding is a great option!
