Puppers Playhouse

Pet care experience

I got my first pup 11 years ago and was instantly hooked. We are now a family of 4: me and 4 pups (Nellie, Scrappy, Biscuit, and Zorro), although Biscuit and Scrappy spend most of their time with their dad. I have experience in animal foster and animal transport. We have a small patio to enjoy fresh air, watch birds, and relax. We also go on one long walk each day. Play time? Anytime and anywhere! And treats? We looove treats! We have lots of toys from which your pup can choose and enjoy. Or, bring your own! We give love and snuggles and will care for your family member as if they were our own. And in the home of 2 pups, yours will never feel alone. We are a doggy family and look forward to extending our home to your furry family member. Contact us today to arrange a meet and greet, and let us show you that your dog is in GREAT hands. I am currently working from home, but that could change at any moment. I work full time, so once I return to the office, I would be gone from the house about 9 hours each day. Currently, we have potty time on our back patio. Depending on the weather, we might go for a quick morning walk. We walk either during my work break or lunch time, and then again after work. Night time potty breaks, including one right before bedtime, are also on the back patio. But let’s not forget play. Playing tug of war, running in a nearby doggy park, and pups wrestling with each other are activities your pup can enjoy. Of you prefer no park visits, etc., not to worry. We accommodate each of our guests. I have a small, fenced patio and two small pups to keep yours company. They are welcome anywhere they desire (any floor of the house and on any furniture.). They can sleep in a bed you provide, can cuddle up in one of ours, or even join us in bed at night. If preferred, we can also crate for sleep.

As always Ranger had a great time at Colleen’s! It’s comforting knowing when you go away he is well taken care of.

A typical day

Wake up and go potty in our small yard. We get lots of love an snuggles before mommy goes to work. We nap and wait for mommy and when she is done work, we take a nice walk around Old City, smelling smells, seeing other doggies, and maybe even chasing a squirrel or birdy.

Availability

I work from home and stick to a pretty regimented schedule, as I have my own pups that I like to keep on schedule. We eat break and dinner at the same time each day and everyone eats together. We go for a walk either in the morning (on very hot days) or after work, unless the weather is disagreeable.
