A Bit About Us: My partner and I team together to provide you with Dog Boarding & Doggie Day Care in our home. I have 20 years experience, both personally and professionally, caring for dogs from Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, and Shepherds. I've cared for puppies from 8 weeks old who needed a transionary home for potty and crate training prior to their long-term home; and I've also cared for senior dogs who needed more reassurance, attention and affection. My partner grew up with dogs including Labs and Retrievers from puppies to seniors. We have two dogs; one 50lb 1 year old and one 20lb senior - both of our dogs are nonshedding. We find our dogs mesh well with other dog personalities; if your pup likes to play, ours will be playful too; if your pup likes to sleep or chill, ours will take a snooze as well! We both work from home during the week and are available most weekends. During our meet and greet, we will do our best to ensure compatibility with your pup to give you, your pup and us all peace of mind while your pup is in our care. A Bit About Our Space: Our home is a smoke-free zone, which is important to many of our clients that need a hypoallergenic space. Our home is in a residential area, has a fenced yard and three floors. We typically allow the dogs full roam of the house, unless there are any specific concerns or limitations. During Doggie Day Care, we will walk your dog in the morning and afternoon, with plenty of pee breaks in-between from our fenced backyard. During Dog Boarding, we will typically walk the dog in the evening and/or morning, depending on the drop off and pick up times, on top of offering your dog plenty of outdoor playtime and potty breaks. We have a baby gate and door dividers to create separate spaces when we are accommodating multiple pups or pup with limited mobility. We have a couple of spare bedrooms which we use if/when your dog needs a bit more quiet space, a nap, or if we need to separate the other dogs under our care. If you are working on crate training your dog, or would like us to keep up with your crate training while your pup is here, we have a small-sized crate, medium-sized crate, and large-sized crate on-hand to accommodate small to large dogs. We have a few extra doggie beds from small to large as well. We typically allow our own dogs on the couch, but we're happy to follow your typical house rules for your pup to not create any bad habits for your pup while they are here. We have a range of toys from small to large, including: balls, squeeky, crinkly, and tug toys to keep your pup happy and entertained. What to Bring? At minimum, please bring your pup's collar or harness (with tags), leash, special treats (if any) and food for meal times along with instructions on the amount and timing of their meals. You are always welcome to bring your pup's food and water bowls, bed, blanket, toys, crate, or other favorite things to help ease your pup into being away from home. We find this helps ease your pup's nerves and adds a feeling of safety and security while being away from their loved ones. If your dog has any food allergies, please let us know at the time of your booking request, as well as upon meet and greet or drop off when we are reviewing your pup's needs. We keep several types of treats on-hand to keep your pup happy and content while they are in our care, but you are welcome to bring any specific treats that meet your pup's dietary needs or food restrictions. Please include information about their favorite type of treat, any food or environmental allergies and any dietary restrictions with your booking request.
