Hi. We love having doggys visit with us! -- We have been boarding for a six years. Mostly we have one or two doggy visitors here at any time -- so not a terribly busy place. We have a tiny bachelor apartment -- But we are happy to share our space with doggy visitors! Our own doggy is a 4y.o. papillon-terrier mix. He is friendly and will play with others if they want to play -- or will leave them alone if that's what they want. Crates aren't used (unless your dog prefers this for sleeping & you bring one with you). Usually one of us is home during the day / most of the time. Each day includes: *1. Walking time in the neighbourhood. We do 3 walks a day. *2. Hanging out and play time with us. You and your best friend are welcome for a pre-visit. - Mark & Vanessa
