Because many of my clients travel, please wear a mask just to be safe, thank you. Your profile is very important, so please take time to fill it out so I understand your dog better. I usually watch adult dogs that are 2+ years and senior dogs. I prefer 30 pounds and under. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have always felt a strong, natural connection with them. This is how I want to spend my retirement, loving and hanging out with these wonderful 4 leggeds. I have a large fenced back yard with lots of trees and an abundance of love to give. My home is very peaceful, some would say Zen,...not a good fit for hyper puppies. There is more activity during the week with my daycare pups who are well behaved, social and friendly....which is a requirement for all dogs staying here.! There's lots of play time, chasing squirrels, cuddle and bonding time.! My roommate works from home so dogs that are constant barkers won't work...normal okay. A meet and greet is a "must" before dogs begin their stay....we both need to make sure we are compatible for the best possible experience. I work to pair dogs of like minds and compatibility, and I will let you know if I think it is a good fit or not...and why. Dogs need to be house trained and not use potty pads, unless they are senior or ill, they are taken out frequently. Boarding dogs may sleep in my bed if allowed. We become a pack and do everything together; from sleep, to meals, to play...always structured and consistent. I will follow special diet requests and required medications. About me...I have studied homeopathy and energy healing for 30 years and I have a good medical background and common sense.
