I think your place sounds fine. You can always ask them for references, I suppose. I think the web cam is great and I'm going to suggest it to Samantha's kennel here.
During her training and when I was renovating the kitchen, Samantha spent several days at the kennel. They have a special small dog lounge with beds, a/c & heating, and even a television. It is staffed by a handler 24/7. I sent her food with her and she was fine. Because I am in Egypt, I have a wonderful housekeeper who stays with her when I travel.
The one time I took her to the U.S., I had to leave her with my sister's "wonderful" vet while we went to a wedding on an island that didn't allow dogs. It was only three days, but over a weekend, and when we picked her up she had lost half her body weight and her face was like deer in the headlights. I think she hardly saw a human the whole time she was there. |
