Any additional people should be added under "extras". --- 2025 - REOPENED Hello guests! We have re-opened our spot - so many people have reached out, it's been hard to not allow bookings. Although the app is still problematic, we will work with you to find a solution. Please understand our slow responses are due to the app. IMPORTANT NOTE TO GUESTS I struggle with chronic illness / an autoimmune disease that often has me sidelined. I do my best to keep up outside, but please excuse me, or message me when there are things not so aesthetically pleasing, I will do my absolute best to mend to it as soon as possible. I really appreciate all of you for bringing your pups out, you're great parents for it. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy your time <3
