Located in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill, we offer your dogs a variety of social and nature loving experiences, with alot of attention and love. The day often begins with a long stroll down Germantown Avenue for coffee at dog friendly Night Kitchen or Starbucks for great people watching and doggy sniffing. For social gatherings, Pastorius dog park is only 3 blocks away for more greenery and like minded community fun. Valley Green, the ultimate outdoor activity, is just 5 minutes down the road, great for longer strolls, hiking and swimming when pre-approved. All activities, of course, are thoroughly monitored. For those dogs that need fenced in play, we have fully enclosed backyard as well as dog pen a few blocks away for an off the lease romp and ball play. Our artistic home is always very clean, with dog friendly furnishings, filled with a variety of dog toys and organic treats. I have spent my entire life with dogs, loving them, training them, and proud to be called the "the dog whisper" by those who know me well. My dog Luca is a certified therapy dog, all training done here at home. I require all guest dogs to be fully house broken, up to date on all shots, flea/tick preventatives and play nicely with others. I ensure your dog will be well taken cared for, given lots of attention and have a great time! I work from home most of the time, but all doggy guests must be able to go full work day (8 hours) for their next walk, when necessary, sorry, no dog crating. I usually accept only one other dog at a time, or 2 small dogs if I know them. No last minute cancellations, due to limited space. Please note that drop off and pick up times are between 9am-7pm unless other arrangements are made. Rates start at $50./night but can vary depending on special needs. Additional custom pricing includes: Dayrates (9 hrs): 8am-6pm $35. (includes 2 walks and play time) I guarantee your dog will love their stay here and look forward to returning for more visits. cheers and licks, Michele and Luca
