Ratings and reviews
Our grand dog came spent 3 nights with Belinda and came back wagging her tail and bouncy. She had a good weekend. Got lots done d pictures and great communication. Thank you. Will look you up if we need someone again.
Belinda is great and my dogs love her! They stayed with her 3x in the last month and always felt like my fur babies were safe and happy. 😊
My pups love Belinda! This was the second time we came back and they knew exactly where to go and were not anxious at all.
My dogs had a great time at Belinda’s place! Her backyard is the perfect setup for my 3 dogs.
Belinda always takes exceptional care of Bernie, my Catahoula leopard mix dog who is @ 9 years old but active still. I love getting daily photo and even video updates from her, showing Bernie so happy and running or playing fetch. Having Bernie stay with Belinda for a few days at a time, usually 3-4 days, helps me when I can't have him around big family gatherings and trips, and its like a vacation for him to stay with Belinda. Whatever accommodations I've asked for, she cheerfully meets, so Bernie gets his Apoquel in his pill treats on time, and Belinda prepares his meals specially the way I ask, as he's so special to me and I want him to get similar treatment when I can't be with him. I've recommended Belinda to family as well as anyone who wants to be sure their furry friends are well cared for. Many thanks!
From the time I dropped my dogs off until I picked them up, I knew they were being well taken care of. They instantly started playing and feeling comfortable. Belinda’s facility is well structured for dogs to have play time and well as rest time. I will definitely have my boys stay with Belinda in the future!

Schedule
I am able to take care of your dog(s) inside of my home @ (Holiday rate), in the outdoor paddocks that have their own heated dog house, or if you prefer in my indoor heated/cooled kennels. I am home 24/7 everyday, all day. Taking care of your dogs is what I do 24/7. I have no other jobs, so I am available to spend all of my time with your dog(s).

Safety, trust & environment
About my Kennels: I have built four (4) indoor kennels, 16ft x 3ft each. The indoor kennels have underfloor heating for the cold winter months and air-conditioning for the hot summer months. I also have four (4) outdoor sheltered private paddocks, all of which have super extra-large dog houses in each of the paddocks, that are heated as well. I only accept four (4) dogs at any given time to ensure they are well taken care of. All the dogs are carefully monitored 24/7, and I have video surveillance cameras that I monitor when I am in my office, for the safety of your dogs!
A typical day
I have brand new outdoor runs with heated kennels for your little fur babies. To keep them safe, snug, warm, and to enable them to get some outdoor fun time in the sun. Your fur baby will get exercised every 3 hours right up until 10 pm. The day starts at 5:30 am, whereby your dog will get their first potty break and run of the day. Breakfast follows at 6 am. Thereafter, potty breaks are given every 2-3 hours throughout the day. Dinner is at 4 - 5 pm, followed by a long potty break, which includes light exercise. The dogs turn in for the evening around 5 pm in winter and 7 pm in summer.
