Reviews
Allison and Jeff were great! We boarded our dog with them over a long weekend and he seemed to have a great time. Our dog came home very happy and seemed to have a great time with them. They gave us pictures and updates every day and were very communicative. We will definitely be boarding with them again!!
As always, Allison took great care of my pup!!
Allison & Jeff were so great from the first contact!! I loved at drop off Allison, cheddar & I went for a walk to help with the transition 😊 it made me feel so comfortable knowing Cheddar was around good caring dog people 🙌 Cheddar loved her stay 💙🩵
Allison has always been amazing in her care of Hazel; would recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment
When it is hot outside, I have misters set up throughout the yard, sometimes we pull out the kiddie pool, and I have super powerful AC mini splits that keeps the inside of my home quite chilly! When it is cold, we have a gas stove fire and lots of blankets and cozy dog beds.

Information Allison & Jeff W. would like to know about your pet
The types of things I need to know are bits of information such as: is your dog kennel trained? Does your dog have excessive barking issues? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Does your dog get carsick? Does your dog have leash aggression? Does your dog have submissive incontinence? Does your dog jump fences? Does your dog door dart? Does your dog try to dig out? Does your dog have any allergies? Does your dog have any fears? Does your dog protect it's food or toys? Does your dog get along with all other dogs big and small? Does your dog have a prey drive? Is your dog dominant or submissive? Does your dog pull strongly on the leash? Does your dog come when called? Does your dog know basic commands? Has your dog had any sort of obedience training? These are all important questions to inform any dog sitter of, to ensure the best possible stay for your pup!
A typical day
As stated above, we are all about fun and adventure here! Pack walks are held between my home and Mt Tabor Park twice a day, and are just as important as playtime and adventures. In summer, sometimes I pull out the kiddie pool. Mostly it is like a mini doggy daycare. There is no end to the fun! Your dog's sleeping arrangement I do not allow dogs on the bed or on the sofa, but we have super cushy dogs beds or bring your own, and multiple dog crates that we leave open, filled with comfortable beds and fleecy dog blankets, perfect for building a 'den'. If i have a few dogs, I tend to keep them in the living room and i sleep on the futon down there with them. We build a fire and everyone gets cozy! Time I'll spend with your dog When I have dogs boarding here, I work from home the whole day. I might have to head out to do some short errands for an hour or two, but for the most part, either I or my boyfriend are here with the pups 95% of the time. And even better, once in a while we head out on big adventures, to the Gorge, beach or mountain for the day. We also do a morning and evening regimented pack walk. I find this is the best way to bond the dogs together and build respect amongst one another. Plus it instills discipline and respect for me a the leader of the pack.
