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. We do keep all sort of dogs, so it really comes down to the dog and their needs. Some we walk in the neighborhood or visit local parks (usually Cherokee & Farnsley). Some dogs enjoy the little water park @ Farnsley while others binge tv. The good 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. The next saga occurred when everything opened up & clients started getting Covid 🤦‍♀️😷 which all created additional dogs at the last minute. Opening up created other recurring sagas like airplane ✈️ cancellations 🤦‍♀️ and did not want to call Rover and simply send a pup to another Rover. I just invested in my business to figure it out and have remained as flexible to all needing it, just an FYI. Now it’s second nature and my clients love ❤️ the experience! We do have 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. Home Stay: If I stay in your home, just let me know the do and don’ts and I am happy to abide. I will still need to leave your home at certain strategic times, but will be there for most of the day and definitely at night. With advanced bookings, it will become a vacation 😉🤣!
