We have been married for 40 years and we have always been dog people - prior to marriage and during our marriage. We have loved an English Sheep Dog, a Springer Spaniel and a Miniature Schnauzer. We grew up with Doberman's, Boxers and Great Danes - the dogs were always family. Our adult son comes by daily when we are doggy sitting for power walks and play. We presently take care of Olive a 90lb Golden Doodle who is a dream boat when her family travels. We have 4 grandchildren, 2 in their teens and 2 very young ones, age 6 and age 4. We have family events regularly. Our is modest, our yard is big - a lawn, flower beds, vegetable garden and we have a covered patio we use all summer long. A pup has a place to play and a place out of the sun whenever outside. We will always set up a meet and greet prior to any boarding. We need to be comfortable and want your pup and your family to be comfortable. We will host only 1 dog at a time, unless there are 2 small dogs in the same family.
