Boarding at Camp Loving Frendz
 
Does your pet want full run of a pet-friendly home? In our home, your camper is going away for a magnificent vacation with a fun, loving family. Camp Loving Frendz provides a safe, comfortable place for your loved one to stay while you are gone. Healthy campers are exercised with daily walks, and enjoy oodles of activity and socialization while you are away. Boarding in our home means the ultimate in love, comfort and luxury! Because your camper has had the time of their life, when you arrive to take them home they will not want to leave.
 
Benefits Include
*Private Home Setting.
Your camper stays in our home and is treated as part of the family.
 
*Constant Companionship.
The health and well being of your camper is important to us. Our family accommodations ensure your camper gets the love and attention they deserve 24 hours a day.
 
*Socialization.
Giving dogs the opportunity to make new friends is not only important for building social skills, it builds their confidence.
 
*Exercise.
At least one long walk or two short walks per day (or as per your instructions), full access to our secure, fenced-in yard area and group playtime.
 
*Feeding.
Any feeding regime can be maintained including raw diets. Because you supply the food, your camper is less likely to get an upset tummy that is caused by changes in diet.
 
*Medication.
Campers receive their medicine, on schedule, while in our care.
 
*Environment.
All campers are in a safe, loving, clean, family environment. Campers are encouraged to cuddle and sleep in our beds.
 
*Potty Training.
Routine potty schedules are kept.
Requirements
*Health Certificate.
A veterinarian-signed health certificate. No coughing, vomiting, and/or diarrhea 48 hours prior to arrival.

*External Parasite Preventative (fleas and tics).
All campers must be on a flea and heartworm preventative. Upon drop off, all campers will be inspected. If external parasites are found, a preventative, flea bath and/or dip will be given at an additional cost to the Pet Parent.

Prior to making a reservation, an application must be filled out and all campers must interview and complete a temperament evaluation.

To insure the safety of my family, campers and guests, we only accept non-aggressive animals.
 
*Entering and Leaving.

Availability:  Year Round.
 
Check-In/Check-Out:  Drop off before 9 am and pick up between 4:30 and 6 pm. All pick up and drop off times must be scheduled and are subject to change depending on my availability.
 
Facilities:  Our home features an indoor resting area with comfy, napping furniture and 2 large, outdoor, grassy play areas with plenty of water, tons of toys, play pools, entertaining play equipment, and lots of fun for your dog. Separate areas are offered for large dogs and for small and medium-sized dogs or puppies. If you prefer your little one with the bigger dogs, arrangements can be made to accommodate your request. Like any good day care, too much fun can wear your family member out, so we offer a natural treat, and napping to classical music each afternoon.
Our services can be combined with PlayCare, where campers play in our home with a play group and basic grooming (bathing and nail clipping).
 
Location:  Boarding is located in North Austin off 183 and Duval Rd. Call today to schedule your interview and temperament testing!
 
Temperament Testing:  This evaluation will last 4 hours, is offered Monday through Friday, and gives us the opportunity to determine temperament, screen social skills and most importantly, insures that your dog will enjoy participating.
 
Upon arrival, your dog will be taken outside to potty and sniff. After their business is out of the way, the application is reviewed with the Pet Parent. Knowing as much as possible about your dog will make their transition into Camp Loving Frendz easy and enjoyable. When the 15 minute interview process is complete, you are free to go about your daily activities while we conduct the temperament evaluation. A more realistic and accurate assessment can be accomplished when the Pet Parent is not present.
 
During temperament testing, we will administer the tolerance test used by Therapy Dogs International. This test involves tugging on the dog's ears, pulling on its collar, judging its reaction to noise, and checking for food aggression. Your dog will be introduced, one-on-one, to other campers (known for their friendly nature and well-rounded socialization skills) to see how they interact. In each meeting, your dog will be carefully monitored for body language, posturing, and social reactions. Once our initial observation is concluded, we will introduce your dog to a small play group for further assessment. The last test includes placing your dog into an empty room while the other campers are outside. The other campers will be brought back in one or two at a time to check your dog's reaction.
 
Our service area includes: Any.
