Home full-time - fenced yard

Hello! Guten Tag! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to read MY profile! I joined Rover in 2015 and have watched over 1.800 dogs since then. I feel blessed to be able to have turned my passion for dogs into a full-time job. I grew up in the south of Germany and my first job was being a dog walker. Being out in nature with a dog is great! My family enjoyed bike tours on vacations and sleeping over on farms which I truly enjoyed. I worked in animal shelters and in a dog boarding and training facility. My family of 6 live close to the mountains in Frederick, Md. We have a large fenced in yard that's devided into 2 sides. One for my dogs and one for dogs that I care for. We own a pack of small dogs :-) I used to breed Chinese Cresteds. My dogs get along well with gentle big dogs and most friendly small dogs. They won't be out during meet and greets as some of them will bark at strangers and that would make talking to you difficult 😁 My husband and I both stay home and we homeschool some of our children. My husband used to foster dogs and grew up with dogs too. I used to work at the doggie daycare at "Sit means Sit" in Frederick (dog boarding and training company). I met all kind of different dog breeds and learned a lot more about dog behavior and their body language. I would love to take care of your dog(s). Your dog will get lots of playtime. All my kids enjoy spending time with dogs too if your dog is child friendly. I will feed your provided dog food and do my best to make your dog feel comfortable while he is staying with me. I don't mind giving medicine or flea protection if your dog needs it during his stay. I do require dogs to be on flea/ tick protection and they need to be dewormed regularly. I do not watch people aggressive dogs or dogs with high anxiety issues anymore... It is best if your dog is used to being crated at times as we use dens in our dog building. They are much bigger than a crate so plenty of room for your four legged friend. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Promo code for "First time" Rover users: Ask me for a promo code to get 20$ off your first stay. I will make sure I only let dogs out together if they get along. Smaller dogs that don't like big dogs will be out separate or in the yard with my dogs. If your dog is not social with other dogs then he will roam the yard by himself. Please let me know in advance, safety first. I offer boarding and daycare every day. Earliest drop off is 7am. Even though I have had exceptions with earlier drop offs. Latest pick up is 8pm with exceptions.

Our boys had a great time. The play yard is the best. The den/crate accomodations are nice. The picture updates throughout their stay was an added bonus. We loved seeing them having so much fun playing with other dogs. We had no worries and was able to enjoy our night away. Thank you!

Sandra was easy to coordinate with and has a great set up for the dogs to play. My dog took to her and the other dogs right away and came back happy and worn out.

Schedule

We have a safe dog building for our dog business. It is beautifully designed and has a separate den for each dog. There is a window in each den to look into the yard. It has A/C and heat! You don't need to worry about your dog getting into stuff inside a home ;-)

A typical day

We play in our backyard with balls, sticks or other toys. Dogs will get lots of outside time. We have a sand area for digging, gravel area and of course grass for your dog to run on. We keep lots of tennis balls around and have outdoor furniture for them to relax on.

I don't have a breed preference because any dog can be a good one. It's good to know how dogs use their body language to tell us how they feel. Also our energy toward a dog plays an important role.
