Fenced in yard with doggie door!!
Pet care experience
I have 3 monsters of my own. A 5 year old Husky, a 6 year old German Shepherd/Smooth Collie mix, and a 9 month old Golden Lab. All 3 are rescues and they all get along great with other dogs! I am single with no kids, so it is just me and the pups at the house (don't feel sorry- I love it this way LOL)! When I hear "Dog Boarding," kennels immediately come to mind. I'm not sure about you, but I know that is a scary thought for me! Being that all 3 of my monsters are rescues, kennels can be scary. "Boarding" at my house will be like they are at home! I do work M-F 8-5, so we would discuss options during work hours (kennel, separate space, etc.). I have a dedicated PUP ROOM that has a doggie door that leads outside to a large fenced in back yard (5 ft. cedar wood fence), so they have access to come inside and go outside as frequently as they need to (of course, I may have to teach them how to use the doggie door, which is always a blast to watch them learn). I don't crate my dogs, but did when they were being potty trained. If crating is something you would like me to maintain while you are away, that is not a problem. I did upgrade to a king size bed, and my monsters do sometimes save room for me.. :) If yours want to snuggle in bed too, I am alright with that! The more the merrier. I am very particular when it comes to feeding with my babies, so if you have a schedule or special diet or anything, I am more than happy to accommodate! When I have to leave mine behind, I swear I have the equivalent of a diaper bag ready to go for them! I have had dogs my whole life and they are definitely part of the family. I previously worked for the Humane Society, so rescues are a huge part of my heart. Your babies would get just as much love as my own! I know how hard it is to have to leave them behind sometimes, but I promise picture overload will come your way to keep you updated every step while you are away! They may not even want to leave when you get back! Please message me with any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your 4-legged babies!

Stephanie sent tons of pictures the whole time. I wasn't worried one bit while I was away. My Zeke is over 10 yrs old and he was comfy on her couch when I came to pick him up. She even showed me how he mastered her doggie door! I might have to get one installed now. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!
