In my home the fur kids have never been referred to as pets, or that they are just dogs. Each one I’ve loved & currently love are family! I’ve resided in this house since 1997 & during that time I’ve had three dogs, all Labradors/Lab Mix. Taylor & Chloe were my first fur kids who are frolicking at the Rainbow Bridge since Feb 2012 & 2013 Grace is my current fur child, she's so smart & sweet, a very loving girl. It's easy to provide affection, love & playtime everyday. She was 3 months old when we first met & she instantly melted my heart & without any hesitation I said well cutie you’ve found your fur ever home! She celebrated her 11th Birthday July 2023 🐾 ❤️ 🐾 Becoming a Host & enjoying the opportunity to give more of my affection & great caring nature to other dogs was a good decision. I've provided care to many different breeds both big & small. It's rewarding getting to know some great pet parents & their 4-legged fur kids. The friendships that I've gained give me many reasons to smile and I'm proud of the trust I've built with them & their fur kids. My day's are full of happy smiles, playtime, brief photography sessions, wagging tails & an abundance of kisses. I truly love the service that I provide & your dog will definitely let you know that statement is true. On their future trips here the excitement they’ll exude just coming down the street I live on & how they run up to my door is just a couple examples. Thanks to all my fur friends for telling your parents how happy you are when you’re in my care. It means SO much to me. Woof! Grace is always excited to see who's arriving to spend time with us. She likes to look out the window & barks when I tell her they'll be here soon. Guest dogs are allowed up on the living room furniture because I want them to feel comfortable & allow them to be near me when I’m relaxing. I just toss a blanket on the couch to help protect the fabric & all is good. They’re even welcome on my bed too, as long as Grace has her spot ... she & I will make room. Some guests prefer to sleep in their own dog bed in the bedroom, that's ok too. Toys are around, but feel free to bring your dog's favorite when you come to visit, as well as their food ..(special treats) .. instructions,bed, blanket/crate. Whatever comforts they have in your home can be met when they are with me with things they are familiar with. My home has a good sized enclosed backyard for security, potty breaks & playtimes. I like keeping it picked up during the day, stepping in a pile is no fun when the dogs are running & focused on playing. A treat jar sits on the kitchen counter & in the living room. It's funny how they always know where the snacks are. During the summertime, I bring out the kiddie pool so that the 4-legged friends can splash & cool off. They always love to try to retrieve a floating toy in the water. ** Dog's can sense if someone is nice & I am one of those someone's
