The best part about boarding with us is your dog does not have to endure the stress of a normal kennel. Personally, we have never kenneled our dog for exactly that reason. If my husband and I go out of town, we will have family or friends sit at our house. It's already stressful enough for our fur baby to be left without us! My husband and I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed their company. We are a little obsessed with our dog- so we completely understand how it can be hard to leave your pups with someone else. We will make your pup feel right at home (or better) and will send you updates and adorable pictures while you're away. Our dog Diesel loves other dogs. We've never come across a dog that Diesel does not get along with. We have a fairly large fenced in yard. We never allow any dog to be unsupervised in the yard. Growing up, we both had our fair share of escape artist ;). We do daily walks and sometimes on the weekends (weather permitting) we will take the dogs to the park! Your dog will have our full attention whether it be playing tug-of-war, fetch, or just snugglin' on the couch! We keep our dog's food and water separate from any dog that will be staying with us. We've found it's the safest way to avoid any type of food aggression. Please make us aware of any special needs your dog may have. If they get frightened by thunderstorms, any aggressive tendencies, etc.
