Pet care & attention is first & foremost. I have a flexible job that allows me to break when needed to have play time or go for walks. At the end of my day is always a longer walk to for exercise and fun time. I am in the office on Tuesday & Wednesday & have blocked those 2 days as I prefer not to leave your furry friend alone. However if your dog manages well on their own I am willing to board on those days. I did crate my puppy when I went out on quick errands and at night time. He loved his crate. I have kept the crate to use should that be your request & part of your training.
