I live in a relatively small, single level, air conditioned Patio Home. It has an "in wall" dog door leading to a huge covered 15x25 ft patio with ocillating floor fans. The patio is protected from both Sun and elements by custom umbrella secured curtains and opens out to a 5' block walled yard. The yard is 30 feet long and has artificial turf cooled by automatic misting sprinklers. The lawn is flanked by paver surfaces which support cushioned, raised cots and stepped benches so dogs can bask in the sun or shade. A seperate toy box is provided inside and out brimming with clean toys of every variety. *Total Property is kept clean. & picked up at least 2x day. *The House and Yard plants are PET SAFE. *Beds, toys, and throws are kept clean during and after scheduled stays and floors fully. steam cleaned often. All my charges are leash/halter walked as arranged with owner at time of booking. They go out (when weather allows) safetly 1 or 2 at a time, I personally participate on each walk. My home is just 2 blocks away from Silvergate Park... there are no busy traffic areas and the dogs love the wide open grass arena in the center. If pavement is too hot for even me to walk barefoot, the dogs will remain inside with energetic play in my yard.. In Summer (upon your approval),. I may drive the dogs by car to the park so cooler morning walks can take place on the park grass. *I prefer ALL training progress and walks be rewarded with verbal and physical praise, even petting rather than edible treats. However, I do carry water and grain free training treat filled pouch to use as unplanned rewards. I personally have 4 friendly/playful Hospice dogs ages 7-19 all 4#-12#. All my dogs are accustomed to having new animals introduced for day/boarding long and short term. *I offer full or half day play dates. *Water is from a 1 1/2 gal. automatic, continuously filtered water dispenser filters and water changed frequently. Scrubbed clean daily. * This is a dog friendly tile floored home with regularly clean dog beds and blankets enough for all to settle in if they do not choose the sofa, bed, my lap or empty recliners. *I do have open crates with clean bedding should a pet desire a quiet space to watch. or escape the others while adapting to my home. Some dogs just need a place to nap undisturbed. *I offer Nitetime crating for owners who prefer their pets not sleep in a bed. *I do offer gradual CRATE TRAINING If requested and arranged for in advance. I provide a plephora of dog beds and blankets to burrow under in the main room and my bedroom. More are outside so they can nap surrounded by chirping peach face doves and ferel parakeets and cockatoo. If you choose to bring your owncrates, bedding, or toys I cannot be responsible for any damage caused by your or other dogs during the stay. *All dogs are allowed supervised use of the Dog door and yard. *They have access to every room but my tiny office/ guest room and furniture is not off limits, even my bed.
