I have years of experience dog sitting and boarding for friends and neighbors. I own my home on 3/4 of an acre with my husband and 3-year-old pup, Fia, so if boarding with me, your pup will be well taken care of! Fia is a chow chow, lab mix, and as friendly as they come. She is well trained and socialized and loves new friends.
