VIP BOARDING
I've lived with special needs dogs, and I get it.
You can't leave them with just anyone.
You need someone:
- with skill, expertise, and a toolbox of strategies to help them succeed.
- excited to love on and care for them like they're family.
- who has managed hundreds of dogs of every behavioral persuasion.
VIP Boarding was built especially for you.
WHAT IS IT AND WHO IS IT FOR?
Boarding in Leo’s home! Suited for dogs with special needs as well as for pet parents who prefer their dog be cared for in the home of an experienced certified trainer. I love working with shy/fearful, nervous/anxious, reactive, and otherwise sensitive or complicated dogs. Your dog will spend their time doing all their favorite things: playing, exercising, exploring, cuddling, snoozing, sunbathing, you name it! I board only one dog at a time, and may be able to accommodate 2 housemates.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
-
Predictable routine involving daily enrichment and play opportunities, exercise, companionship and relaxation
-
Safe & cozy sleeping arrangement in accordance with dog and owner preferences + dog's maturity level
-
Regular updates via preferred channels (text, email, phone)
-
Plentiful daily outdoor time in 1,000sqft fenced backyard, neighborhood leash walks, and/or long-line park excursions
-
Treats, toys, food puzzles, and one-on-one attention
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. You complete a Boarding Intake Form.
(not ready to commit? Book a free Discovery Call first)
2. If your dog appears to be a candidate for boarding I’ll reach out to schedule a 60 minute Intake Assessment with you and your dog in my home (located in San Francisco's Excelsior District, 94112 zipcode).
3. During your assessment you’ll learn about me and explore my space, I’ll learn about you and your dog, and we’ll determine together whether a Trial Stay will be necessary before we can schedule your boarding stay. A trial stay is 2-3 days while you are home and "on call" if needed.
4. Once approved you'll book your preferred VIP Boarding stay dates.
