This is NOT a kennel.  Far from it!

"Venning & Company" is me taking care of a few friends and enjoying their company.  That those friends are dogs makes it just that much more enjoyable for all of us.

I accept only a few dogs at a time . . . a precious few.

Dogs who stay with me enjoy much the same creature comforts as children who are dropped off at a favorite aunt's for babysitting.  They're welcome to live in my home and be loved.

Dogs who are reasonably well-behaved can roam the house freely, becoming part of my family for their stay with us.  They generally follow me from room to room as I get on with my day.  They nap at will on sheepskin rugs and choose whatever strikes their fancy from the toy box.


I spend a large part of my day interacting with dogs, both mine and the dogs I'm sitting.  I'm close by and stay "connected" to them.  We enjoy each other.

My house is sprawling and spacious with several different gated areas to insure each dog gets just enough social time with me and other compatible dogs, and enough quiet time to kick back and relax.

This is a unique dog-friendly home located in a secluded setting heavy with trees and foliage.  My acreage is fenced in with a huge grassy yard and surrounded by quiet forest.

If you're looking for something special for your dog . . .
this is it!
