If you have booked dog walking and your pet only goes once a day please let me know beforehand. Thank you!

BOARDING & DAYCARE _____ ________ ACTIVITIES ________________ I really, REALLY love dogs and enjoy taking them on long walks and to new places each day. In my home your baby will be forever cuddled, treated, walked, loved, gushed over, and encouraged. I love when animals start come out of their shell and begin being fun energetic goof balls and chase my dogs around the house and garden. Most often my house becomes like a race course with me the formula one pit stop offering cool water and treats in between all the good play. They are allowed to have all the fun at my house! I have a million dog toys and can take your dog in my car in front strapped in (head out the window if they like) or in one of my doggy seats in back (also head out the window availability)! We go to parks, trails, dog parks and the beach and give them lots of cuddles and treats. Basically my car is a luxury doggy shuttle to and from the dog park, wormsloe/ Skidaway state park, mother Matilda Beasley park. Bark park, petsmart, burkes beach and home! All the other great parks and squares are all in walking distance from my house! AT MY HOME _______________ I have a dog friendly planted garden, with a doggy paddling pool, doggy water drinking fountain, hose games & 12 ft stone walled fencing. In street level entry points we have pet gates also. Security is our top priority and free roaming! Everything is dog friendly in our home from types of plants to furniture sizes. At our home they will always be treated like our own children and spoilt rotten here! I am able to help work on basic training with them also and provide meals/ treats of your preference. I have a variety of very cushy dog beds, doggy stairs on to furniture and lots of activities we love to play with our two such as, Memory games and different hide and seek games. We feel most comfortable allowing them to decide where to sleep...in bed with us or in one of the many dog beds of ours or in their bed they brought with. We don't kennel or crate unless the owner brings one and requests we continue with that arrangement. Otherwise its free reign in our house! We want all puppies to feel totally comfortable, loved and cared for during their time with us.

They took excellent care of my little old man, Buckley. He needed a little extra love, guidance, attention and medication, and they were on it! I was so grateful to have found them to pamper him while I was away. He got good walks and I think he liked the little poms bouncing around him.
