Hound Heaven! #1 in Baldwin County!

Pet care experience

We welcome every pet that stays with us as a part of our family. We understand trust is the most important part of what we do. We strive to take quality care of our visitors and earn and maintain your trust. We have learned every dog is different and every owner's expectations for care can be different. So, please ask questions and share your expectations and we will go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and care for your pet/s. We highly recommend a meet and greet prior to new bookings in order to make sure all sides have the opportunity to meet, clarify expectations, and become comfortable about the services we provide. We do our best to accommodate our customers' needs! BOARDING at our home is our most commonly requested service. We can provide boarding indoors if your pet is crate trained, but we are the best fit for pets that enjoy the freedom of the outdoors. We have over an acre of fenced yard in a country setting where your pet/s may stay safely and have plenty of freedom and attention. They will always have shelter in an open garage that has a huge, 9 foot long doghouse that is fully insulated with heat and A/C. We have a self-waterer that is cleaned and refilled regularly so our visitors never run out of water. We are outdoor people, spending countless hours playing with the dogs, gardening, and playing at our pool, but this is not the typical confines of traditional, boring boarding. Your pet will have the freedom to play, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors with us! Inside dogs always find themselves in heaven at our place, but if you prefer your dog stay inside, we may not be the best boarder for you (my Mom provides excellent indoor boarding with Rover - find TRINA), but we do offer other services that will probably work well for you, such as... DROP-IN VISITS or DOG WALKS are provided so your pet/s can stay in their regular environment, inside your home or in your backyard. Typically, requests are made for 2-3 drop-in visits per day, from morning and evening to morning, afternoon, and evening, but sometimes, you want more attention and care for your pet/s. So, you may need... HOUSE SITTING varies from a 12 hour overnight stay to 24-hours, around the clock presence in your home. Please communicate your expectations and we will discuss whether or not we have the time for 24-hour care, but our family works together to get it done whenever possible! I'm an animal lover for life who has had dogs my entire life. I've been successfully dogsitting for 7 years with dozens of satisfied customers. The reviews speak for themselves! I strive to serve my customers, maintain your pet's routines, and make every stay as comfortable as possible for you and your pet/s. Feel free to ask questions, requests, or send a text to check-in anytime during your pet's stay. We understand our pets are a part of our family, and we will treat yours as part of our own family while they are in our care. Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you. My family works together to provide supervision, care, and attention to all our guests. They receive plenty of exercise outside on good weather days and are typically brought inside at night for safety, shelter, dinner, and breakfast the following morning. I have a fenced yard with acreage. My dog, Abby, provides company for your pet/s, but we typically have other guests staying with us who will be carefully introduced, temperament assessed, and matched to maintain safety, even with high energy, high play guests.

When I spoke with Corey before booking about my dogs and his care for them at his house, he assured me there was separate areas for dogs to stay if there were any issues with socializing. I paid $176 for three 8 hour days. So for my last day of vacation I asked if he could watch my dogs one last day. He said no because they didn’t socialize well. My third night I picked up my dogs and the first thing my dog did walking to my car was take a poop. This makes me suspect he was crated. When we texted I asked him if he could give my dog his pain pill. My dog had caught on that I was hiding it in his wet food. He assured me via text he could definitely do that. When I took them for daycare he tells me he won’t because he is afraid of being bitten. I have traveled and used several day care places, commercial places, and never heard anything negative. I really don’t know what to make of this. For the cost, I will go back to using professional dog boarding and day care places. They have live action cameras. Peace of mind. No bang for my buck here. I think Rover reads all communications, including texts, which is why things look positive that way but not face to face. You processed my payment before I said yes to booking. Really? Who does that? If your dog isn’t perfect, find a professional.

Corey's place is absolutely amazing. Maxine loves to go to Corey's! She is happy when we get there and she loves running around and playing with all her friends. She is always such a happy dog when we pick her up. Corey is great about sending us updates with pics. We don't worry about our Maxine at all when we are away!

Our first experience with Rover was awesome. Corey made us feel at ease and sent us a great picture of Archie having the time of his life. If Archie could talk I know he would say that his stay was fun-filled and active and that he can't wait to return! He came home and immediately went to sleep. I think we are all looking forward to his return visit - he truly came home a very happy dog!

My goal is always to maintain a let’s normal routines as best as possible. The most pampered, indoor dogs have a great time boarding with us. They always have access to a pet pad setup in our cozy garage with plenty of rugs and a split unit A/C and heat pump installing soon. Our goal is to keep our visitors outside getting exercise, playing, and lounging under the shade trees when the weather is nice.

Information Corey S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a breed preference nor prejudice. The only thing I would like to know is if your dog has ever had a history of digging, chewing, aggression or biting. Those are typically the potentially problematic behaviors, and I will take precautions as needed. If your dog has a history of escaping fences or anxiety with thunder or loud noises, that is also something that we should discuss. All of this information is useful so we can best keep your pet/s comfortable and safe.

A typical day

The fenced yard has 4 areas for lots shade to relax and play. If your dog loves to explore and fetch, this will be heaven for them. If they love to sit and relax and receive attention, they will also be in hound heaven!
