Boarding Dogs: Currently, I have a 8’ fenced in dog pen & a 2nd smaller area we just finished as an extra pen with a dog pool and/or use for elderly dogs who love the outside, but don’t want to deal with the puppies or get in water. We do keep all sort of dogs, so it really comes down to the dog and their needs. Some dogs we walk, some enjoy the little water park @ Farnsley while others binge watch tv. The well behaved dogs, Pat might take to Lowe’s or a farm he works at from to time (so mention if you don't want your dog leaving); whatever suits their need I am happy to accommodate, within reason. We treat them all like our own. As stated above, we never shut down during Covid. We cater to hospital workers, mainly in the ER and would not think of saying “no” realizing what might happen during those tough times. We just figured out how to keep each dog safe and satisfied based on individual needs when we ended up with puppy 🐶 parties. We have crates inside used to feed dogs or allow down time with bones. The next saga occurred when clients started getting Covid 😷 creating additional dogs at the last minute and more dog parties 🎊. Opening back up created many recurring 🐕 parties from airplane ✈️ cancellations. We continued to be vigilant & committed, never needing to call Rover to find another sitter which we became several times when requested by Rover. I just invested in my business to figure it out and have remained as flexible for my clients needing it, just an FYI. Now it’s second nature and my clients love ❤️ the experience! We do keep a variety of high energy dogs, nervous nellies, and some with special needs. We keep all sizes and ages. The trials and tribulations of Covid brought the bulk of my pups together a lot so they all know each other very well. Pat (life partner) helps me with puppy parties and late nights. They all really LOVE ❤️ Pat! Hopefully, your pup does not come home too tired, because we have fun here! If your dog doesn’t do well with others, this may not be the best place. Nervous nellies generally come home more confident and better for the experience as long as they are not fear aggressive w/ bully tendancies. We are like one big furry family. Most dogs roam freely in the front part of the house and yard. Some I watch like a hawk, while others won’t have that need. Everyone eats in a crate or a pen to avoid thievery and allergy issues. I have tons of bowls, beds, & crates if needed so you don’t have to bring unless you want. FYI we only crate if they sleep in one normally or won’t stop playing at night or just need a break. We keep crates open as some dogs like privacy & security.
