Loving care for your pup!

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover and have been around dogs my whole life! We have a Golden Retriever named Oliver. He has completed obedience training to get his Canine Good Citizen certificate! He is also a Therapy Dog and enjoys doing therapy work at hospitals, schools and libraries. Oliver loves other dogs and looks forward to having a friend to play with! We have a large house on 4.5 acres with a nice fenced-in back yard and plenty of space to run and play. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. All adult dogs need to be spayed or neutered. Please send me a picture of your dogs shot record through the rover app. For your dogs safety, I do separate dogs while they are eating, when I am away from home and at night. I only accept crate trained dogs. Overnight boarding is $45 for adult dogs and $55 for puppies. The puppy rate is charged for any dog up through 2 years old. This is for a 24 hour period. There will be an additional day care fee of $40 for adult dogs and $50 for puppies for pick up day if pick up is later than the drop off time. Example - drop off at 9:00 am on drop off day and pick up later than 9:00 am on pick up day. Holiday rates for boarding are $50 for adult dogs and $60 for puppies. An additional daycare fee of $45 if pick up time is later than drop off time for adult dogs and $55 for puppies. There is no discount for additional dogs. Please let me know the drop off and pick up times you'd like when you send me a request. Senior dogs are charged at the same rate as the puppy rate. Holiday rates are charged for all major holidays, including the week before and after Easter, Spring break, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Juneteenth. Any stay that is during a holiday is charged at the holiday rate for the entire stay. I love to take pictures so photos of your dog and updates can be sent to you upon request! I dog sit full time so I’m home with the dogs all day. We go outside to play all throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard.

This was Oakley and Molly’s second stay with Mrs. Connie, and once again, she absolutely exceeded our expectations! It’s such a relief knowing we can leave our dogs with someone who not only takes amazing care of them but genuinely loves having them around. From the moment we dropped them off, both dogs were so excited to see her again like they were going on vacation too! Mrs. Connie kept us updated with sweet photos about their day, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked them up, they were happy, well-loved, and clearly had the best time. It’s rare to find someone you trust wholeheartedly with your pets, but Mrs. Connie is that person for us. We’re so thankful to have her in our dogs’ lives and will absolutely continue to book with her. Thank you again, Mrs. Connie, you’re truly the best!

Information Connie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific behaviors that I should know about before you drop them off for their stay. Are they excape artists and try to jump fences or dig under fences? Do they typically try to run away from you? Are they obedience trained?
