Terms & Information (Please read.)
⏺ GOING PRIVATE. If you are coming from the Rover app and you'd prefer to book privately (The Dog House, Goshen), please indicate this in the Additional Information field below.
⏺ CONTACT. Jen's cell number is 574-538-7979. The Rover App uses Rover numbers.
⏺ UPDATES. I will update you twice a day with photos and info. If you'd like less updating, please let me know.
⏺ POTTY BREAKS. We have a doggie door as well as a magnetic door curtain to allow for dogs to go in and out freely. If there are any concerns about this, please let me know.
⏺ CRATES. If your dog gets crated, you can bring your crate if you’d like, but it’s unnecessary. I have all sizes of dog crates and several puppy play yards.
⏺ DOG BEDS. I would prefer your dog use our dog beds. We have many. Your bed may be chewed or peed on while it's here. In my experience, dog do not use dog beds brought from home, they always choose our beds.
⏺ WATER. I have two shallow community water bowls that are always filled with clean, filtered water from the fridge. Do not bring a water bowl.
⏺ FOOD. ✅ Please bring everything your dog needs to eat, including food, food bowl, and any additives.
⏺ TREATS/BONES. I make my own homemade treats with 100% Peanut Peanut Butter, ground oatmeal, and ripe bananas. I also have Yak Cheese Bones and Butcher Bones for chewing. Do not bring treats or bones unless they are for sharing.
⏺ TOYS. I have a large variety of sturdy BARK toys for play. Do not bring your own toys. They will likely get lost or destroyed.
⏺ FENCING. Our fencing is 4 feet high. Once your dog enters our front door, they cannot escape. If your dog can/will jump a 4-ft fence, then our home is not your best option.
⏺ FURNITURE. We allow dogs on the furniture. If you do not want your dog on furniture, please let us know.
⏺ SHARING. Before your stay, I will do my best to provide you with information on other dogs that will be boarded with your dog.
⏺ TICKS. We do not see a lot of ticks, but our property is partly wooded. Preventative flea and tick medication is recommended.
⏺ VACCINES. I feel that vaccinating is a personal choice and therefore, I do not require proof of vaccination. Bringing a non-vaccinated dog into a boarding situation is at your risk. We've never had a problem.
⏺ PROBLEM DOGS. If a dog in our care becomes a problem for a person or another dog, our plan is to tether the problem dog until the situation resolves itself. If a dog becomes a danger to a person or another dog, our plan is to crate the dog and inform the parent. This rarely happens.
⏺ INSURED. If booking through Rover, your dog is insured through Rover. If booking privately through The Dog House, Goshen, your dog is insured through us. Same coverage, same benefits.
