I'm a work at home visual artist and I love pets. We have a calm, sensitive and gentle 6 year old Golden Retriever who will keep your pet entertained while it is with us. He is neutred and has great manners with all types of animals. My husband and I live in a beautiful home with a nice backyard and deck. It's a paradise for dogs. Most importantly, I only board pets from one family at a time. Your animals will be the only animals in my home aside from my dog Camus. I work from home, so your pet will be supervised 24 hours a day! What a great alternative to a kennel, or a house full of unpredictable animals you don't know. If your dog is physically up for it, we walk around the neighborhood every morning and evening, so about 4 miles. On the weekends we hike and head to the local dog parks if your dog is friendly and likes those kinds of things. I only have one animal boarding at a time, or the animals of one family boarding with me. Your pets are never left unattended in our fenced yard and they will sleep in our home wherever thet wish. Your animals safety and happiness is my chief concern. I want them to enjoy staying with me as much as you enjoy your vacation! I am very patient and kind and am skilled at administering medications for animals. I am willing to be extremely communicative while your pet is in my care. I do extremely well with animals with separation anxiety as I am attentive and love to play with animals. I have trained many puppies and am available to help with this as well. For boarding in my home please drop off dogs between 9am and 9pm. If you are coming home later than 9pm, please pay for an additional night of boarding and pick up your dog in the morning. Doggy day Care is from 7:30am to 6pm unless we make special arrangements. Outside of this time frame there will be an additional charge of $10 an hour. I hope that you will book with me as often as I am available. It's nice to know that your pet has a home where they are safe and comfortable every time you have to head out of town.
