Pet care experience

I love and enjoy the pups !

I only take one dog at a time unless they are siblings . We want the experience to be peaceful and enjoyable for both us and your Dogo , I’m all about personalized attention and love during what can be stressful for our furry friends . I send updates ,pictures and videos showing your dog feeling loved and happy while you’re gone . After loosing my sweet dog of 15 years having your pup in the house makes me happy , I’m excited to go on walked play or just snuggle with your fur baby. I’ve watched A LOT of dogs and have learned so much about different personality and what helps a dog adjust while away from their family . Helping them settle in and feeling comfortable is so important.

Bernie was so kind and so accommodating for us. we booked her last minute before our flight and she answered super quick. then our flight canceled on us and we had to extend our trip a day and she was more than happy to keep our dog for an extra night. to be honest I never do reviews but for this one i felt like I had to. See you next time Bernie!

Autumn had a nice time while we were away staying with Bernie. Bernie was patient with Autumn while she settled in the first couple of days and it went smoothly after that. It was comforting knowing she was being taken care of in a clean home and not having to be kenneled.

Schedule

I enjoy the out doors , love being outside playing/walking with the pups. Quick morning walks and Long evening walks are the best ! Im generally always home with my Husband who LOVES dogs more than I do . I work two days for about 5 hours . I have cameras on the pups when I am gone so I can dash home give pups a break if they seems too stressed . There are no other dogs in the house and I’m conscientious while out walking to cross to the other side of street if another dog is in our path or off leash . I feel it’s important to follow your instructions and I’m comfortable administering meds

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a large crate in the house to keep your fur baby warm/cool and safe while i am gone . It’s important to me upon your return that you find your pup happy and well . Their safety is priority ! I take flea control VERY seriously and will do a flea check at drop off . I would really hate to turn a dog away . PLEASE let me know if your pup is a rescue of less than two years and if there has been past trauma . I need to know about their triggers and stresses for my safety and the safety of my grandkids when they visit .

A typical day

We are up fairly early to give dogos a potty break . Loves and playtime throughout the day. Fenced yard and toys for outside play .. most pups love playing in our sprinkler. I walk every night so taking your fur baby along will be fun ! Bring any toys your pup loves .

First couple days can sometimes be stressful so let me know what brings your doggo peace and happiness. Again I need to know their triggers and their behaviors when stressed and how to accomplish safe cooperation with your pup . What does your doggo love ? What’s their favorite game or toy ? Special diet ? Tossing them a little peace of our food ok ? Where do they sleep ? Bring their bed or blanket , I do kennel when I’m gone never more than 3-4 hours .
