I've always been a dog person and don't remember a time in my life when there wasn't a dog in my home. I work from home so your pup will never be alone. I have a little Shih Tzu that is quiet and conflict-free so it is very peaceful atmosphere here. We usually take three 15-20 minute walks on the leash around our beautiful, green neighborhood. Dogs are free to roam on the first floor of the house but I can also maintain your crate regimen if desired. I aim to maintain the play and feeding schedule as well a the diet that you dog is used to at home. The dogs that I board must be dog-friendly and kids-friendly to ensure that all involved parties are happy with the experience.
