I am a full-time graduate school student, both online and in person classes, and a dedicated homebody. I leave the homestead as little as possible, and for as little time as possible. Therefore, your fur-kids will get lots of affection, playtime, and snuggle time. Whenever possible, if you are choosing me for boarding your dog in my home or for doggy daycare, I prefer to meet them first, to make sure that we will all be comfortable. These Meet & Greets are very important so we can all get to know eachother. Though it is not an option listed on Rover, I do offer discounted rates for Boarding if for extended periods, both a weekly and a monthly rate. Additionally, I now offer discounted rates for service dogs in daycare and boarding. Just ask me about it and we can talk rates. Although not a military veteran myself, I come from a long line of them. I have so much love and respect for our military service members, and know that leaving your dog for a deployment is one of the hardest things to do. So, if you, or someone close to you is a military member who finds themselves needing long-term care for your furry friends, I am now also offering a special, extremely low rate for extended boarding because of a deployment (complete with lots of pics and videos sent to you while you are away). Please contact me for further details. I am typically home the majority of the time, except for class, the gym, and grocery trips. My own fur-kids are never left for longer than a couple of hours, and boarders get the same treatment of course! While boarding with me, I prefer to have your dog's kennel as well, only so they can be safely crated for my short trips out of the house. But other than those times, they'll have free roam of the house and yard.
