The establishment of the Roelien Yorkie Guesthouse came about after many requests from new and existing customers that bought puppies from us and/or who make use of our daycare and playgroup facilities. They needed a safe place to leave their yorkies overnight or for an extended period of time.
The Facilities
We made alterations to our home to enable the Yorkies to move freely in and outside the house in any weather conditions. We have three rooms where the Yorkies sleep at night and the Yorkies decide where they want to sleep themselves. Beds are available for them to use or their parents bring their beds with to help them feel more at home. We DO NOT have any cages at all where visitors must sleep.
Safety Features
The outside area consists of 100 square meters undercover for them to move around in any weather conditions. This area is closed off during the night and they also got free access to the house at all times. During the day there is sufficient play area on the grass in the back yard. All our water features are closed off to prevent any Yorkie from falling into the water. We have a 1.5 meter fence at the property as well as 1.6 meter concrete fencing around the rest of the property to prevent any Yorkie from escaping. The area where vehicle move in and out of the yard is also fenced off for the safety of the Yorkies.
Routine
We strive to make your Yorkies feel at home at all times and take special care upon arrival that all the friends can do the normal welcoming by smelling and barking. As we strive to give personal attention to each guest we only accommodate as many guests as what we can handle.
Each Yorkies' personal belongings - like special food, clothing and/or medicine(s) are kept in a seperate container with their name clearly displayed.
We prefer that your Yorkies visit us prior to their stay to familiarise themselves with the area and to realise that their parents will come and fetch them again. There is no cost for this visit.
Food
Royal Canin is freely available at all times. Should your Yorkie require special-order food, we will request you to provide the food as well as the feeding time(s) if needed.
