The Friendly Backyard
Doggy Daycare and Boarding

About us
I live in charming Downtown McKinney with my husband, my thirteen year old son and our seventeen year old dog. One of the things I love about dogs is their unconditional love, they are loyal to you no matter what. Dogs are a blessing in this busy world. They give so much to us humans. That is why I volunteer at "Polar; Saving One Paw at a Time", fostering abused or neglected dogs.
I am very responsible and reliable, I have always had dogs since I was a child and I have taken care of others for many years. We have a beautiful fenced backyard where our furry guests can play and have fun. They can also play inside with air conditioning or heating, depending on the weather. I keep few dogs per day/night to be sure they have individual attention and a peaceful environment. I walk them twice a day around the neighborhood or at the park. I'm a licensed massage therapist and I help my guests with therapeutic massage, anxiety, joint problems, arthritis, bad circulation and other issues. I want to open my home warmly to you and welcome your dog. They can be part of our pack when you have a busy daily schedule, a business trip or a deserving vacation.

Our dog Finley loves the Friendly Backyard. Highly recommended.
