I love to know the dogs' favorite activities or if they have any allergies or medical conditions and what their general temperament is like. I'm especially fond of senior dogs as I feel they need extra love and attention. I love watching any and all dogs but for now, I will stick to hosting small or medium breeds in my home. I know Rover lists Medium dogs up to 40lbs but I prefer dogs under 30lbs or so. My home is mellow and laid back and I find very high-energy dogs to be a bit stressful. If your dog needs constant action and attention, they may be better off with other dogs of the same temperament. That way they will get the play and excitement they need. We are a laid-back bunch. ****NOTE: I have gone back and forth with Rover regarding the "Extended Day" fee. This is the fee that pops up automatically for the final day of your multi-day booking. According to Rover, the price is figured out based on how many hours your dog is with me on the last day of his/her stay. If it's less than 8 hours, Rover calculates a fee of 50% of my overnight price. If it's more than 8 hours, Rover calculates a fee of 100% of the price. So, if your dog is with me for 8 hours I receive $20. If it's with me for 9 hours, I receive $40. I truly wish I could delete this pricing structure. Instead of letting Rover figure out the fee for the final day of your dog's stay, please calculate how many hours your dog will be with me on the last day, and if it will be with me for more than 2 hours, the stay is equivalent to a daycare charge of $30. Since Rover will not calculate it this way, I will have to add $10 to the charge. I'm honestly not trying to nickel and dime you. I realize care for your dog is expensive enough. I'm just trying to be paid fairly for my excellent service. Generally, my rates are $40 for an overnight stay (8-24 hours) and $30 for daycare (up to 8 hours). I'm a very flexible and laid-back person and I'm not picky about an hour here and there, but I don't think I should be forced to watch a dog for an additional 8 hours on the last day of a stay and only receive 50% of my overnight fee of $40 or 60% of my daycare fee of $30. So, if your dog will be staying for 1 night and 7 hours on the final day, please realize that it is equivalent to 1 overnight fee and 1 daycare fee and I will have to make a modification because Rover calculates this price incorrectly. If you have any questions about this, feel free to discuss them with me. I'm a very reasonable person :-)

We love to play fetch, walk around our property, catch the breeze in front of the evaporative cooler in the summer, cuddle, doggie massages, treats for tricks. If doggies are up for it, we'll take them to walk around Thomas Reservoir up the road or for a nice leisurely spin around the neighborhood across the way. If your dog is up for a long walk we enjoy hiking at the Dry Creek Open space off Baseline Road where there’s a fun water hole if your dog wants a dunk. We also have a kiddy pool in the yard for summertime fun. My home is very laid back so we will always have stress-free fun and lots of toys for chewing, snuggling and squeaking.
