Choosing the Right Guest Home for Your Dog!
As Dog Lovers ourselves, we know we would never consider leaving our dogs with anyone who we did not completely trust.
The First Step is to complete a Dog Information Form. You may fill out the form on-line or you may print it, complete it by hand, and fax or mail it back to us. Just contact us as soon as you know the dates you will be away, and we will start our search for the most suitable Guest Home for your dog. This provides us with important information about your dog such as their likes or dislikes, daily routine, medical history, and general characteristics.
After Careful Review we will select the guest home best suited to the individual needs of your dog. If we do not feel that we have a suitable guest home available, we will tell you. We will never place a dog in a guest home which we do not feel ideally matches that dog's individual needs.
Because guest dogs live in private homes while you are away, we can only accept dogs who will make good houseguests. Dogs must be a minimum of 8 months old, fully housetrained, and not destructive. Dogs must be up to date on their vaccinations. We will not accept dogs that are excessive barkers or show aggression to people or other dogs. We do have guest homes without dogs of their own. These homes are suitable for older, shy dogs, or dogs recovering from illness or surgery. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, we will not place him/her in any of our guest homes.
Please note that we cannot guarantee your dog will be the only guest staying in a care providers' home over the Christmas holiday period.
Meet the Potential Guest home! Next, we arrange for you and your dog to visit the proposed care provider. We want to ensure that you can go away on your trip feeling comfortable and relaxed knowing that your dog will be safe and well-cared for in your absence.
If you are not completely happy with our first choice of guest home we will start the process over and find your dog another Care Provider.
Only when you feel totally comfortable will your dog's
vacation be confirmed.
