DAYCARE & BOARDING: I typically accept up to 4 dogs per day for boarding and/or daycare. Drop-offs and pickups are from 7am – 7pm. I like to keep it simple for dog parents: all you need to bring is your dog and their food! I have extra dog beds throughout my home, bowls for filtered water in various places, and toys galore! I feed dogs separately in different areas of my home to keep the peace. Pups are allowed to sleep in my bed or hang out on my couch, watch tv, or hang in the 2nd living room where it is quieter. I keep clean dog beds (washed after every visitor) throughout my home so dogs can be wherever they would like! I also have covered crates if dogs prefer to fly solo and chill on their own. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can get their zoomies on and play fetch outside. Dogs here will have: ᴥ︎ comfortable home environment ᴥ︎ fresh filtered water ᴥ︎ dog treats ᴥ︎ enrichment puzzles ᴥ︎ lick mats ᴥ︎ beds, blankets, toys, & food/water bowls DROP INS: 30/60 minute reservations where I walk, feed, and play with your pup. IMPORTANT: ⚠︎ ︎I do not accommodate any dogs who exhibit any aggression to any breed, size, or age. ⚠︎ Females in heat will need to wear doggie pads. ⚠︎ Puppy rate is applied to any high energy breed, pup requiring special attention, medical care, or more frequent potty breaks. ⚠︎ If your dog is a nervous lil one, I will restrict water/food for one hour prior to pickup so your dog does not get car sick on your way home.

IMPORTANT: Proof of current and required vaccinations will be requested with your booking. This is required prior to scheduling a meet and greet.

Thank you! :)

A typical day

Dogs are let out around 6:30am to potty, and then everyone is fed. They are let out to the backyard about every two hours to potty/play as well. Dogs typically spend the day on the various dog beds around the house or on the couches in my main living room. I have two large (and FULL) toy baskets that they can choose toys to play with. Often I will put on a dog centered show or something on the television for them. I also have various enrichment puzzles I can put your dogs food in as a treat and they can “play” with to get a snack. I am done with my day job around 3:30 each day, and then it’s COUCH CUDDLE & PLAY TIME where snuggles & fun happen! Around 7pm I start winding things down here and by 9pm all dogs are where they will be for the night and it’s lights out! TYPICAL BREEDS I WATCH: Small breeds ONLY such as Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, Bichon Frise, Min Pin, Maltese, Mi-Ki, Japanese Chin, Havanese, Pugs, Papillon, Dachshund, West Highland Terriers, Mini American Eskimo, Biewer Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Alaskan Klee Kai, French Bulldog, Sheltie, Italian Greyhound, Beagles, Lhasa Apso, Doodle, Toy Poodle, Silky Terrier, Poodle, Scottish Terrier, Australian Terrier, Bolognese, Malti Poo, Pomeranian, Toy Fox Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Cairn, Cavachon, Chi-Poo, Corgi.... basically smaller breeds as one of my dogs is only 3lbs!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Cheryl and I have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old! I would love to care for your furbaby! I have experience with many different breeds, personalities and can accommodate most special needs your dog may have. I specialize in intimate, home-style boarding where your dog feels like they are in their 2nd home with lots of love and attention! I’d love to hear about your pet’s routine, personality, and schedule so they have an easy and comfortable transition to my home. I have experience with: ✔︎ puppies & senior care ✔︎ different breeds and sizes ✔︎ various temperaments ✔︎ allergies ✔︎ disabilities ✔︎ giving medication ✔︎ separation anxiety ✔︎ safety AND most importantly, your pet’s comfort! If you’d like to see some of the happy pups I have taken care of, please follow my IG: Wagging_Tails_Dog_Care
