Arrival- Please text/message us when you are otw, we have two dogs ourselves so we want to make sure we’ve got our pups inside before you arrive. Also we have a driveway gate, this allows us to have it open for you upon your arrival. For your first visit, I’ll show you how to close the gate so that your pup can roam the whole property safely 🥰 Notice of camera: we do have a motion sensor 24 hour day/night vision camera on the property for security, it records automatically when motion is detected, by booking you and any guests you bring to the property agree to being recorded. Poop- we do ask you pick up when you can after your pups, if they poop near the perimeter or wooded section you’re fine to leave it, just if it’s in a general walking area we ask you bag it and you can drop it in the large garbage cans on your way out next to the driveway gate. Bags are not provided. Water- there’s multiple water hoses though out the property, I leave a doggie bowl next to the back of the house near the water spigot, feel free to fill it up there. Please remember to turn the water off once you’re done filling it. Please rinse the bowl prior to filling it/letting your dog drink from it. Sprinkler- we do have a couple of water sprinklers we use for our garden, if you’d like to use one on your visit, please text Claire for assistance. Garden- we have a big garden on one side of the property, your pup is more than welcome to check it out, our pups love running down the rows of blackberries! If you ever see berries/figs/tomatoes/peppers feel free to pick them on us! (Note that booking with us you assume all responsibility for your dogs consumption of any vegetation or plant on the property. Please be aware of what plants, vegetables & fruits can be harmful or considered toxic to dogs.) Bee hive- we do harvest honey so we do have 1 small active honey bee hive box near the garden, they are harmless and won’t bother you/your pups. We would still recommend keeping an eye on your pup near the hive, our pups get curious from time to time and like to sniff near the opening and that might agitate the bees. Rain/sun shelter- our entire property is fenced front and back plus the sides, so there are two seating areas if you need a rest. The backyard has a sectional couch and table, this is near the hose/waterbowl. This back area doesn’t have a covering at this time. The front has a covered porch with seating along with a bench swing, feel free to hangout in the porch if you need some shade from the sun/rain ir just to relax and chill, it’s got a great breeze most of the time 💕 If you need anything at all during your visit please don’t hesitate to reach out! Hope your pups enjoy the yard as much as ours do! 🐾🥰🦋 - Claire
