Pet care experience

We LOVE DOGS and so does our furry friend Hazel. Happy to cuddle, walk and play with them. Your pet will be well loved and taken care of when staying with us. We have a flexible schedule that allows one of us to be home with the dogs. When we are out doing errands or going to the gym, we have a doggy cam that looks after them while we are away. We have watched many types of dogs from puppies to seniors and happy to offer help on any training you may be going through (kennel, clicker, place, loose leash, etc).

We couldn’t have felt more comfortable having Zoe stay with Alyssa and David. We knew she would be in great hands from the first seconds of our meet and greet. Communication was excellent from drop-off to pickup. They were exactly what we needed after a recent negative experience - we never once stressed during our trip and can’t wait for her to stay with them again!

Alyssa and David were amazing with our two little Aussies! Very patient and kind and the dogs loved being there! We will definitely board our babies with them again!

Alyssa and David were sooo great with Heidi! They accepted our booking just a couple days out and she got to hang out with Hazel and go for a fun walk. Alyssa sent me a ton of updates and Heidi came home pooped out from a great day. She’ll definitely be back!

We have a fenced in yard and a very friendly and playful fur baby of our own to keep your dog company. She is crate trained but loves to play with others. We have extra crates if needed as well as play pens depending on what pet parents like - not a requirement however! We enjoy all the play time (ball throwing and walks) and cuddles with our own miss Hazel as well as her friends that visit.

I will be able to stimulate your dogs physically, mentally and emotionally.
