ABOUT US: Our home will offer your dog lots of attention and playtime. We have four young boys and a lot of play & activity at the house. Your dogs will be active, stimulated and exhausted throughout the day. We have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever that gets along with all dogs and is use to the routine. She will help acclimate your dog (along with the rest of the gang) to our home. We have, roughly, 70' x 85' FULLY fenced & gated open yard, with plenty of room to run, chase & play. We ask that your dog is KID & DOG friendly as typically it's an active and fun place to be. We will respect and follow your dog's routine and care. If you create, we will create. If they are not allowed on a couch, we will not allow & so on. Dogs can sleep anywhere as the beds are always fair game!!! Typically dogs will have free roam of our home and be treated like our own.. Pictures will be sent throughout the visit to your cell or webpage as my wife is wonderful at that! We want your experience to be relaxing too! Your dog will adjust sooner than you think and will never know you left. Most importantly, someone is ALWAYS HERE with them throughout the day, with the exception of minor running around. We prefer your pets spayed & neutered. Dogs that are not fixed, no matter how wonderful they are, have more tendency to mark. It is an unfortunate part of the business but with a high volume of dogs one marking or accident will cause a domino effect. All dogs MUST BE HOUSE BROKEN. Accidents do happen but potty training is a required. Also extended stays may receive discounted quote. HOLIDAY RATES- Memorial Day weekend, July 4th weekend, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving week timeframe & Christmas & New Years time frames are $50 day and booking early or checking times is highly recommended. PICK UP & DROP OFF: Please be mindful of pick & drop off times, visit charge is for a roughly a 24 hour period. If the pick up and drop off times are longer than normal. (Early am drop off / later pm pick up following day.) A "custom quote" MAY BE sent to cover custom request. We are VERY flexible however extended times should be addressed at time of booking to help with scheduling. YOUR PETS: Please share with us ALL of your concerns or issues that your dog may have during our meet and greet sessions; including behaviors, schedules, quirks or routines. We will be happy to welcome you and your dog and make it a relaxing experience for all. We want you to be comfortable with us, our home and your decision; and to be worry free! TRAINING: I would be happy to work with your dog including puppy training and any issues that may need improvement or areas that you may not be able to correct. However an initial meeting is required. I work with most issues, barking, walking (pulling), jumping, basic discipline, basic commands, socializing and more. I will also be working with you and giving as much info as I can share with you from my experience to help you with best intentions. I am not certified in any way other than personal experience, training of my own dogs and a strong customer base along with their wonderful 5 star reviews and referrals. Seeing is believing and referrals may be requested from past (current) customers. If we can not accommodate your dates, we would be happy to referral other hosts from the DogVacay / Rover website to you. We're happy to help. Thank you for checking us out, we won't disappoint !
