We love fresh air and exercise, not to mention the sites, sounds, and smells of nature so a significant part of our day is spent outside in a large, well fenced backyard and/or a walk through the neighborhood. No matter the choice of activity, safety is #1, so screening for friendly, well socialized dogs is a priority. There will likely be at least two or three other dogs to romp with (but no more than six to help maintain a homelike atmosphere). If your dog needs their own space, that's OK too as I incorporate the security of safety gates, movable fencing, and (X large) crates. If I need to leave dogs unattended (2 - 3 hours maximum per day), I separate all dogs and an indoor security camera helps monitor activity. I ask that all dogs be updated on vaccines and flea treatments and throughout the stay, I regularly update the humans (including photos). For all new clients, I ask that a standard contract be signed that covers any damage/harm your dog may do that Rover does not cover. For an alternative to boarding, I also offer traveling care/housesitting (references are available upon request). An address verification is necessary to determine travel distance and if you are within a 4 mile radius, there is no added Service Fee. Additional services include: Daycare, drop-ins, extended stays (with discount), pick up/drop off (outside 4 mile travel radius negotiable), and cat care. * Seniors and puppies are welcome. * Meds are OK (check with me first). * Non spayed/neutered pups are OK (be sure to let me know upfront). As I begin my 13th year of professional dog care, with over 300 FIVE STAR reviews and numerous long term, repeat clients, I am delighted to offer experience, knowledge, compassion, and dedication.
