Availability
I spend time exercising outside with the dogs.. I have an extra-large and a large metal crate and a medium sized enclosed crate if your dog requires or prefers being crated at night or if your dog has issues when left alone in the house.

Information Polly W. would like to know about your pet
I do not take dogs with serious health issues or incontinence. I also do not take dogs with serious mobility issues. I do not take any aggressive dogs. Dogs MUST be friendly and get along with other dogs. I separate all dogs for feeding.
A typical day
I spend a lot of time outdoors with the dogs, and we walk a mile every morning to start the day. My dogs love to run and play so if your dog likes to run and play or fetch, s/he will come home tired! I also do exercise walks/jogs with the dogs.

Pet care experience
I'm a certified dog trainer. My dogs are well-sociaized and enjoy having friends come to run and play. My back door opens to about an acre of fencing so the dogs have a large area in the front, back, and side yards to run and play without worrying about them chasing anything into the woods. We walk a mile together every morning in the fenced area. My dogs love to run and play or fetch a ball, and I do sprints and jogs with them so we all get our exercise. I do not take dogs with incontinence or severe mobility issues. They must get along well with other dogs in a pack situation.Shy dogs are welcomed and will likely come home with more confidence! Come meet and greet and see for yourself :) Fence jumpers and determined escape artists not suitable. I monitor bowel movements and clean as the dogs go to prevent parasite infestations and to monitor health. During meals, all dogs are separated so they can eat at their own pace and relax. I have a bowl of water in the house and always keep water outside for them to drink as they run and play. Message me for special requests such as taking two dogs or an extended day. Please upload vaccine records or send them to me before the stay! I do not take dogs unless I have vaccine records.
Reviews
Polly is a fantastic person and she exudes love for dogs. Our border collie felt instantly at home with her and her dogs Dexter and Blondie. We give her the Nobel Prize and our thanks 🙏
Thanks for taking care of Oreo on short notice.
Polly was great with our2 dogs. She’s definitely a “dog person.” Knowledgeable and compassionate. Our dogs didn’t seem to notice when we left they were happily playing with her two friendly, well behaved dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Our dogs loved her. And they were pretty well worn out when we got back to our cabin and they slept all night.
Tilly had an amazing time with Polly and her dogs! She is normally timid so I wasn’t sure how she would feel about living with 4 other dogs, but she had a blast. She was able to run with them for hours every day with Polly in the fenced in yard, and cuddled with them for naps in between. They are a really friendly group of pups! She normally has separation anxiety but being with Polly’s pack made her very secure and she had no issues. Polly is also a wonderful communicator and reader of dogs. She sent lots of pictures and took every step make sure tilly was as comfortable as possible. We are SOO happy to have found Polly and feel so much relief knowing we can travel now and not worry about Tilly’s wellbeing. Thank you, Polly!
