Safety, trust & environment

I recommend bringing your crate (for denning purposes) or your dog's bed to reduce separation anxiety. Any toys brought may be damaged by other dogs. Please only bring items you are ok disposing of if necessary.

Information Ruby F. would like to know about your pet

Please provide a list of medications/instructions so that I may know if I will be able to handle certain situations. Also, any reactivity information is needed so that I know if the other dogs will be a ok with each other.

A typical day

Walks are generally early morning and late evening which reduces chances of negative interactions for dog sensitivity and leash reactivity. Like to walk by the public school fields for the smells that help with mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

I was a dog walker for various sized dogs. I took the dogs in my care on walks as well as hikes. I am currently only providing pet boarding and pickup/drop off. I have a dog and a cat. They can be kept separate for those pets that are sensitive to other dogs/cats. I love all animals. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs. Snuggling on the couch with a fur-baby is one of my favorite things to do. I'm home 90% of the day. Therefore your fur-baby will never feel lonely. I am also available on short notice, for those last minute getaways.

Ruby was great, she had her house set up for dogs to have fun inside and out. She sent pictures of the dogs having a great time.
