Pet care experience
Get ready for some fun and dog-filled adventures! 🐾 After an amazing 33 years of shaping young minds in the high school classroom, this retired teacher is embracing a new chapter focused on her true passion—dogs! Woohoo! 🎉 Calling all doodle lovers and enthusiasts! Looking for a pawsome place to care for your furry friend? You've come to the right spot! At my house, we offer a doggie haven specifically for non-shedding pups. Woohoo! About Me: As an approved foster for rescue dogs through Golden Retrievers in Need, I've opened my heart and home to adorable golden puppies and doodles of all ages and personalities. From wild and wacky to calm and cuddly, I've seen it all, and I've learned a ton about handling their unique differences. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and honestly, I can't imagine a house without multiple furry pals. If you ask anyone who knows me, they'd describe me as the ultimate crazy dog lady—and I wear that title with pride! Meet the Crew: Currently, my household is filled with joy and adorable antics. Ernie, my 2-year-old Doodle, is a champion of resilience. He's a puppy mill rescue who stole my heart as a foster, and well, he never left. You can catch all his hilarious escapades on his very own TikTok page—check out #erniethedog! Alongside Ernie, I have a spunky 11-year-old Maltese who adds a dash of sass and charm to our lives. Beach Bound Adventures: Picture this—a daily stroll along the sandy shores of Lake Erie, with your pup, soaking up the sun and reveling in the lake's beauty. It's a dream come true! In our little slice of paradise, we make daily walks to the beach an integral part of our routine. The gentle lapping waves and soft sand under your pup's paws create the perfect environment for both exercise and exploration. And hey, your furry friend might even get to take a refreshing dip! Pawsome Play Yard: Safety and fun go hand in paw in our fully enclosed play yard. It's a doggie paradise designed with your pup's enjoyment in mind. We've got a turfed play area, keeping your furry pal clean and happy while you're away. Our play yard is where the magic happens—furry friends bounding around, playing fetch, and having the time of their lives. So, fellow dog lovers, if you're ready for some tail-wagging, beach-going, playtime extravaganza, reach out to me! Let's embark on a dog-filled journey where every day is an adventure. Oh, and don't forget to check out Ernie's hilarious TikTok escapades at #erniethedog. Get ready to have a blast with your four-legged bestie, because in this dog-loving paradise, there's always room for one more wagging tail! 🐶❤️
Reviews
Another great experience with Coleen! She's so caring and we just love getting pics and videos while we are away.
Coleen takes such good care of our babies! This is our second booking with her and we have more planned! ❤️
Coleen was awesome with our bernedoodle, Hank! She made Hank feel very comfortable!!! He loved playing with her two dogs and being able to sleep in Coleen’s bed! I would definitely recommend Coleen and Hank looks forward to another visit the next time we go away!
We are so grateful to Coleen for the love and care she showed our high maintenance pups. They need attention and love, and require patience with allergies and anxiety; she delivered all of that and more! It was our first time leaving them, yet we felt so calm about it. We received daily pic updates and it was evident they were as happy as could be! Her dogs are so sweet and made the best of play friends. We will definitely book her again!

Welcome to a doggie paradise! As a fervent dog-lover, I'm thrilled to offer personalized pet care right from the cozy comfort of my own home.. I've recently relocated to a brand-new abode, designed thoughtfully with our four-legged friends in mind. The highlight? A delightful fenced-in doggie courtyard adorned with a specially designed dog-friendly turf. The dogs enjoy the freedom of frolicking in and out through the sliding door, straight into the secure backyard. I always stand by, overseeing their playtime to ensure safe, energetic, and exciting sessions. From tiny puppies to dignified seniors, I've got room for all! I boast an array of crate sizes to cater to the unique needs of the varying sizes of my furry guests. At night, your beloved canine companion will enjoy a restful sleep in my room. Whether they prefer a crate, a plush dog bed, the cool floor, or snuggling right next to me, there's a spot for every pooch! Feeding times at my house are a twice-a-day event, a hearty breakfast, and a satisfying dinner, but we will cater to your pet's regular dietary routine. Have a Doodle or a non-shedding dog? They're my favorites! I specialize in providing top-tier care to these breeds. To ensure individual attention, I limit my service to just two dogs from the same household at a time. Before embarking on our wonderful pet-care journey together, let's have a meet-and-greet session! I'd love to get acquainted with your adorable pups and understand their unique personalities and needs better. Welcome to a haven where dogs are treated like royalty!

I'm a passionate doodle lover and dedicated foster parent for GRIN (Golden Retrievers in Need). My home is a doggie paradise, but we're all about the glitter-free zone here. Sorry, we have allergies here that require non-shedding pups. To ensure the perfect fit, we have a couple of pup-tastic rules. Only two dogs from the same household can stay with us at a time. Safety first, right? But before we get to the fun part, we'll arrange a meet and greet with my friendly dogs, who are always up for making new furry friends. It's important that your precious pups are up-to-date on their vaccines and protected against those pesky fleas and ticks. A quick visit to the vet will do the trick, and don't forget to bring along the paw-some proof. We want to make sure everyone stays happy and healthy! About the dog's size —we would like to keep our guests under 70 lbs. since our own pups are on the smaller size. Our home is a canine social hub where pups can wag their tails together and have a blast. It's a guarantee for pawsitive vibes! Please note that if I have a foster doggie staying with me, I won't be available during those days. They need my undivided attention and love. We want to make sure they're comfortable and safe, surrounded only by familiar faces. Lastly, we kindly ask that your fur babies are in good health. We want to maintain a bark-tastic environment where everyone can play and explore without any contagious illnesses. Safety and well-being are our top priorities! So, if you're searching for a doggie haven with heaps of love, wagging tails, and endless fun, look no further! Bring your pups to my doodle-loving paradise. Let's create unforgettable memories together! Woof-tastic adventures await!
A typical day
Twice a day, I turn into the official tour guide for our canine companions, leading a jovial parade of wagging tails and keen noses. Our strolls aren't merely walks - they're adventures, a fusion of smells, sights, and sounds that leave our pups brimming with excitement. As we meander down to the beach, our paws (four-legged and two) patter against the sun-warmed boardwalk. Our day trots are a hit, but it's in the evening when the magic really happens. That's when, if your pup is of the adventurous, water-loving kind, we may just take a joyous splash into the gentle lapping waves of the lake. As the sun starts its descent, painting the sky in hues of gold and scarlet, we find our spot on the sandy beach. Together, we soak in the serene spectacle of the sunset. It's the perfect ending to our fun-filled escapades. But wait, there's more! When the spirit of exploration takes us, we hop onto our trusty golf cart (safety harnessed and leashed, of course). Zipping around town, the wind rustles through your pup's fur as the town becomes their playground. So, get ready, because our dog-walking adventures are no ordinary walks, they're a ticket to a daily dose of joy and discovery!

As a new retiree from the exciting world of teaching, I've swapped my classroom full of students for a homestead full of wagging tails and doggy treats! Now, my mission is to be the ultimate buddy to your beloved four-legged pals, providing them with the finest in-home daycare and overnight boarding experiences. Are you planning a vacation? Fret not! I'm here to throw your pooch the best doggie slumber party ever. I have a particular soft spot for adorable doodles and non-shedding dogs. My home needs to be dog "glitter" free because of allergies by a member of the family. And, to keep the experience personalized and enjoyable for all, I'm limiting my furry guests to two from the same household at any given time. So, if you are looking for some doggie TLC, then let's connect! I can't wait to meet you and your adorable pups and start our tail-wagging adventures together!
