Dogs LOVE our big yard!

Pet care experience

My ultimate goal is to make you feel comfortable, happy, and assured that your dog is as relaxed and stress free as possible. Each dog has unique personalities, likes, dislikes and I would cater each sitting to your dog's personality. ***We REQUIRE meet and greets before agreements. This way, all dogs have met each other and you are positively comfortable with our dog and environment. Before scheduling a meet and greet and approving a stay, we will REQUIRE proof of vaccines, INCLUDING Leptospirosis and tick/flea prevention. Safety is our number one priority and we are a home run dog boarding business, therefore, your dog should be protected- just in case!*** ***Also, my calendar is up to date! People book me far in advance so check my calendar to see if I'm available. I only allow multiple owners at the same time if I've watched at least one owner's dog before, or if both dogs have non-alpha behavior. This insures predictable and healthy behavior.*** Our dog is a boxer, shar pei, pitbull and German shepherd mix, and is 55lbs. She's incredibly social and loves all sized dogs (large and small). She's well trained, listens to commands and loves cuddling with other dogs! She's sweet, never bites and loves being vocal while playing. As for exercise, we usually walk/run our dog or take her to the dog park (usually Reid's) several times a week. We also take her on hikes! We even run around in our backyard to get dogs moving. We are willing to do whatever you want to exercise your dogs. Meet my pets: As for animals, we have 1 dog, 1 cat and chickens. If your dog(s) do not get along with our cat, I can place my cat in the detached part of the home where they are separated. About my yard: We have 6ft fences, separating the backyard and continuing through to the front yard, so your dog has absolutely no risk of escaping. We still go outside with all dogs that are outside and we stay outside with them. Our dog usually lays in the sun while I or my husband garden (we love gardening!). If it's a hot day, I like to give dogs the option to play in water or a sprinkler (I would give a bath afterwards, of course). Our yard is amazing for dogs, since it has shade, sun, water fountain, garden beds, small hills, concrete and a couch to lay on. I know your dog would love our yard!! My experience administering medication: Yes! I've taken care of diabetic dogs and I'm a pharmacist so I am more than comfortable!

Our happy girl loves staying at Ina’s! She has been going to sleepover for about the past three years and loves Caitlin and Neil!

Caitlin has watched Molly three times now. Every time Molly comes home happy, clean, and tired. She takes great care of my girl, sends pictures and updates daily, and lets me relax while I'm away knowing that my pup is well cared for.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: We have a very dog friendly neighborhood, and we are willing to walk throughout the day. During the summer, we walk at nights. We are willing to adapt walking schedules to whatever you and your dog prefers. We take our dog several times a week to dog parks, in order to socialize and play with other dogs. If you would like, we would be willing to take your dog to dog parks! Or walk them through parks and if you're an avid hiker and prefer your dog to go on hikes, we can do this as well! Your dog's sleeping arrangement At night, your dog can sleep wherever you feel they should sleep. Our dog likes to sleep on our couch in the living room and most dogs who stay over will sleep on their bed in the living room. It's like a fun sleepover! We have a large crate (fits up to 100lbs) if you prefer your dog to be crated at night, and we can put the crate wherever you feel is best. Again, my goal is to have your dog feel at home, so where your dog sleep is all up to you! :)
