Dog Boarding in Auburn

October 25, 2019

Dear Clients & Friends,

This letter is to inform you that, as of November 1, 2019, we will be retiring from the pet sitting business. We feel that the time is right to move onto the next phase of our life’s and to explore the benefits of full retirement.

We have enjoyed working with you and your pet/fur babies over the past couple of years. We would like to thank you personally for allowing us to serve as your pet sitters. Your trust in our abilities was personally and professionally rewarding.

We cannot thank you enough for your friendship and your support. We wish you and your family (both humans and pets) the best of luck in the future.

Sincerely,

Debbie & Becky

We are located south of Auburn/Garrett & North of Fort Wayne out in the country & own a 17 room underground home on 7.5acres. If your pet is scared or has issues with storms, no need to worry about that when they stay with us! Since our home is underground, your pet will never know or hear a storm as it passes through our area.

We tailor our services to meet the pet owner’s and pet’s needs. We offer a variety of services, please go to the service tab for a list of services & cost. We do have set hours for drop off or pick up, hours for drop off or pick up are any time from 8am to 5pm. Please do note that we do ask for a time for drop off & pick up during booking, if you are 30 minutes late for your drop off time we will turn you away with NO REFUND (only exceptions are accident, flat tire, car trouble which must show proof of these exceptions). We have been stood up on several occasions or waited around for 2+ hours on families to drop off with the excuse of "we are always late for everything", so we have changed our policies as far as drop off / pick up times & being late for drop off. If your pet is used to being with his/her human, we will be happy to have them as “House Guests”.  We do limit the number of pets staying with us each day, so each can get the proper care & love they deserve!! We accept all sizes, all breeds & all special needs pets!!

As a House Guest : all sizes, all breeds and all special needs pets have access to our fenced yards and our whole home. Generally, they like to be wherever I am. Supervised playtime throughout the day. Leash trained dogs are given daily walks (FREE). Our family loves going to local parks for a picnic & a hike/walk when weather permits, would love to include your pet but only with your approval first! There are plenty of comfy pet beds, but you can bring your own if necessary.  We provide treats, pet bowls and LOTS of LOVE, you provide their food, collar and leash.  If allowed, pets may be on the furniture and beds. Our home is "PET FRIENDLY”.  All pets sleep inside at night and they are not left outside without supervision.  We  send email or text updates with photos to you of your pets’s vacations.

About this sitter:

We have many years of responsible pet care. I handle show dogs in 3 different kennel clubs (AKC, UKC, IABCA). My grandfather was well known for his champion hunting/retrieving dogs, I was able to help him with training as I was growing up on the farm. My aunt raised & trained dogs for sled teams. She would take her trained sled teams to Alaska & was able to help her with their training also. My mother raised German Shepherds for K9 & see n eye for many many years growing up. Then another aunt was a dog trainer & I was able to shadow/help during her training classes. Growing up I was involved with the dog programs in 4H. I was blessed with 3 Arabian horses growing up & showed my horses for 6-7 years. Our family volunteer for an outstanding non-profit equine organization called Ride With Faith, RWF works with local youth/adults that are at-risk, disadvantaged, troubled, or have suffered trauma. Over the years, we have cared for horses, exotic birds, many dogs and cats. We would love to meet you & your pet! :-)

We have 2 daughters, 2 sons & 3 granddaughters with 1 more grandbaby coming in Jan 2020. We are "empty nesters" but our kids & grandkids visit often (almost daily).

Hi there! We’re a mother-daughter duo who love taking care of dogs! Our family has one loving dog, Bojangles, who is a rescue. He loves to run and play with others dogs and he’s a regular at the dog park. We are home during the day so there will always be someone here to take care of your furry loved one! I have experience as a veterinary technician and can administer medication. We have a 1.25 acre fenced in yard with a wooded area to play in as well. We do have four children ages 5-14, so we can only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards children. You are welcome to contact us anytime if you have any questions and we will happily send updates and pictures of your dog to you! We can’t wait to pamper and love your furry friend!

I have always had dogs in my home. I have three fur babies right now. Buddy (Cocker Spaniel), Bo(Cairn Terrier), and Ben(?). I consider my dogs as my kids. The fur kids play well with others so having dogs in my home won't be a problem. I prefer taking care of small to medium size dogs. I fear that at my age I might not be able to handle a large dog. I have no problem giving sub con shots if needed. I have been doing inoculations on my dogs and horses for many years. I also have facilities for bathing and grooming dogs. I have been grooming and trimming mine for many years. However, I do not clip nails. I require that the customer provide food for their pets while in my care.

I love dogs and have had many in my life. I will treat your dog as a member of my family, just as my dog is. I grew up with a variety of breeds, including a poodle mix and a German shepherd. I currently have one dog, a mini daschund named Tucker. I'm available during the day and evenings (I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom and my kids often accompany me on walks). I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of sidewalk available for walks.

We play catch and take walks regularly. We periodically watch a Boston Terrier that requires daily oral medication. My husband helps with all boarders. He also loves dogs and grew up with them as well. We have two Guinea pigs.

I'd like to have a black pug named Daffodil Margaret or a Bernese mountain dog named Maxwell.

I am an animal lover & mom of two boys. I am also a preschool teacher’s aid so I am home anytime the kids are delayed or off school. My family & I have fostered on and off in previous years & had our dog since he was a puppy. We love having animals around & taking care of them. We have a fenced in yard that animals can stretch their legs in & burn off some energy. We live in the middle of town so there are lots of sidewalks & parks for nice walks to wear the dogs out. My children love helping out & taking care of dogs. They love dog kisses, cuddles, walks, and playtime just as much as I do.

Professional school graduate that loves animals! I have two cats, ages 10 and 1.5, that are friendly with other cats and dogs. My cats are like dogs, and regularly take them to play in my yard. I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past two years, besides my own animals, and had a family black lab. I live in a 2 story home with plenty of space and toys for the animals. I own a crate if needed. I will cat sit as well! I have Flexible availability, just send me a text. I spend time outdoors whenever I can, and I will go for walks, runs, and play outside. There is a park nearby my home for dogs that enjoy the park!

I have been a drop in dog sitter, a dog Walker as well as a house sitter. Dog Walker is my favorite title though. I love animals that like to snuggle, play fetch and go to the park for a nice long walk. I also have a large yard that is perfect for pups to run around in. There is a great deck for some sun bathing too! I promise your dog/cat will be extremely loved when they are in my care! My dog of 13 years sadly passed away this year and I miss having a companion to love on. Please consider me to take care of your pets while you're away or at work. I love animals so much! I would be honored to watch/walk your pets!

My husband and I work as a team to care for our two rescued pups Cooper Male (age 7/8) beagle mix & Leeloo Female (age 5/6) lab mix. After being together for over 12 years we have come to the realization that life is so much better with dogs in it.

Update Dec 2019 we have had to put our beautiful LeeLoo ( LabRot Mix)down just a few days after Christmas 2019 she was suffering with Osteosarcoma (Bone Cancer) and in sever or pain and suffering. She will be missed.

UpDate March 2020

We have added a new rescued little guy to our little family his name is Oliver and he is a beagle young cuddly and playful. Untill he gets more socialized we will need him isolated from guest dogs for everyone’s safely and comfort.

My husband and I work alternating shifts. Meaning one of us is almost always home. We are open to both long term and short term pup guest in our home.

We have a 6 ft privacy fenced in back yard. 2 guest rooms one set up for human family guest and the other for pup guest if they need privacy with a window low enough for them to see outside, and comfy bed or dog cot to lounge on.

My behavioral therapy background with children allows me to transfer what I have learned, using positive behavior reinforcement, to the animals that I care for. I believe in loving each animal where they’re at; teaching them with patients, love and respect. My girls train in agility and nose work, each one with their Individual talents and uniqueness. I love all animals and my goal for the families I serve is for you to relax and be worry-free while your loved ones are in my care. I continue to learn with my girls every day, and I love every minute of it! I hope you will give me an opportunity to serve you and your loved ones. Thank you For taking time to get to know me! Lori
