-only use organic/healthy treats and chews (I always have dried/dehydrated fruits to give them and it keeps them company for a long time chewing it! A much better and healthy alternative to other chews :) -provide extra blankets and LOTS of toys! -lots of potty breaks throughout the day/pee pads -pets allowed on furniture (or rolled up in a burrito blanket<3) -WILL CONSTANTLY SEND YOU PICS OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CUTE!! -------- -------- I am extremely knowledgeable about health in dogs in common scenarios. Being away from home for the first time, for example. Usually, dogs can get diarrhea from extreme stress just like my pup on her first dog boarding. I know a million ways to calm dog stomachs down and different procedures in case of emergency as well. Your dog will always be safe with me! I also know a family owned grooming place that does my pup all the time and i can definitely add that to your package before pick up on dog boarding days or throughout their stay and give discounts since I am a regular there:) I grew up taking care of dogs since i was little. My grandma was a breeder so she had lots to teach me! I would take care of the mom and the puppies until they are ready to be sent to our relatives' homes. As I grew more independent, i got myself my own pups (a cockapoo and a norfolk terrier/Yorkie mix). I got them certified as service animals and I started taking them everywhere each time i travel! I'm extremely patient and loving when it comes to dogs. Dogs are my ultimate weakness! I live with my roommate who owns a mini dachshund and we spoil our dogs like crazy! We are both experienced dog moms who promise to take care of your babies :)
