Ravenhill In-Home Dog Boarding

This page is about happy dogs and general dog care. Boarding in my home is suspended. Aug 2021, Ravenhill is suspending accepting new clients for a while.

If you plan to leave town and don't like the idea of strangers coming to your home, the dog alone all day, or your dog in a cage, kennel, or dog run, then in-home boarding may be the solution for you. Before dogs come to stay, a Meet and Greet will take place so we can evaluate the dog's behavior and comfort level, you can see the place in person, and we can determine if I'm the best fit. I love h

aving my guests' owners and their family and friends here on Facebook, where they can share pictures of their dogs having fun. We even have some page fans who don't have dogs here, but just enjoy all the happy pictures. The guests are all beautiful, and I try to capture that, and from time to time send out practical dog ownership information. I accept altered dogs who are current on vaccinations to stay in my home with me, as family members, while you are away. You bring along bowls, blankets, favorite toys, bed or crate...whatever is a part of your dog's routine. I charge $35 per night. Drop off and pick up times are flexible...as early as 8:30 am, as late as 11pm. I can administer medications and give shots, if your dog needs them. Dogs play with each other and my trained resident dogs, Scout and Leo. They also get to meet the cat, Hogan, who is dog-proof and will teach dogs about cats. Windows come down to the floor, so dogs can see out easily to watch birds and squirrels. Floors are sealed wood and tile, for cool naps in summer. The secure yard has a 6' fence and is spacious with hills, rocks, and many trees. Please, visit Rover.com for more information on how my business works. To schedule a meeting or make a reservation, go to my Rover page. https://www.rover.com/sit/Ravenhill

Messages sent here may not be seen quickly. Insurance is through Rover, although I have added my own as well to protect dog guests. Dogs need a Rover profile for that to apply. I was originally with DogVacay, which Rover bought out. When you go to the Rover site, you can contact me, Chrystal H. via an inquiry. You may also send me a PM at Chrystal Hays page here, or here, but they do not get seen as quickly.

I am trying to get things in order for screening and boarding again. Having both dogs healed after surgery is a big step.
Inflation is going to bump up my prices ( but not double because no shipping costs 🤣).

These are the current cats at Ravenhill.
Gray One is most social, and learning about the dogs most quickly.
Miss Bishop is the tabby, and really seems to like me, but is leery of the dogs. She was mainly in the middle of the house: hallway and pink bathroom.
Spectre lives in my bedroom and doesn't like dogs or me, and isn't even that wild about the other cats. She used to love Hector, but he spurned her. We are working on ways she can get the attention she solicits without anyone bleeding afterwards.

This cat is Gray One.
For a long time, he was a front yard feral, a friend of Hector.
Six months after the loss of Hogan, I got tired of worrying about the outside cats, and brought them in.
Gray One is learning dogs the best.

Scout had a growth on his chest, which was removed in June. It was benign. He's all healed up now. He had to wear a shirt, and then a cone, and a little crate rest, so it could heal without The Licking.
He is 12, but closer to middle age these days. Good thing he loves being in Houses.

In November of 2024, Hogan began developing symptoms in addition to the epilepsy. Minor turns of the head, but they were involuntary. It was not much, but it was not responsive to his medication.
I didn't want to ask him to fight more. He'd overcome so much. So we went to VEG and he was very relaxed for the final care.
He is missed. Ravenhill hasn't been without him since I began living here after the fire. Life without a do***ng cat is strange.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of his life and shared their dogs with him. He loved them.

Leo had lumps on his legs that had to come off.
He's 10. There were 4 in all.
Fortunately, all were benign. He's recovering from this, but is on strict Cone and Leash walking until he heals enough that he can't lick the incisions open.
He did very well for a big old guy!
