Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a fenced in backyard for easy potty breaks and play. There is a small park area in my neighborhood as well. My neighborhood is friendly and easily accessible for walks. I live close to a lake so leisurely dog walks and/or play can take place there as well. I own a dog pacer (dog treadmill) if poor weather conditions are in place so your furry friend can still get their exercise in and their energy out. My own dog who is a service dog is fun, high-energy and loves to play, run, and go for walks so we likely would be accompanied by him too. My vehicle is dog friendly with a kennel in the back for safety during car rides to go places if you and your furry friend prefer. I have kennels in my home and elevated dog beds to ensure a safe place for your furry friend to go. For boarding, your dog MUST be crate/kennel trained. This is import to ensure safety, decompression, rest and a less stressful environment in an unfamiliar place.

Information Courteney H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behaviors I should be aware of prior to taking care of your pet. I do not work with aggressive behaviors. If your pet is aggressive, I can refer you to a private dog trainer I work closely with so in the future we can work together. Please provide dog food, their favorite treats, their favorite toys, dog collars, leashes, etc that your pet would need while they stay at my home. Please let me know of any medications I need to give your pet. Please provide basic command words you use for communication with your furry best friend!

A typical day

Let me know what type of activities your dog enjoys and I can likely accommodate. I have 24/7 access to a vehicle with a kennel to go to dog parks/other play areas if you prefer or on my daily errand runs. My backyard is fenced in for easy play and potty breaks. I live in a friendly neighborhood for dog walks or can easily access trails for dog walking. I have an indoor dog pacer (treadmill for dogs) if weather doesn’t permit to get energy out and our walks in! Of course, I am all about the belly rubs and snuggles your dog needs too! I am reward based training style and can offer training services for an extra fee.

The Perfect Doggy Stay

Pet care experience

Travel plans but can’t bring your furry best friend? No problem! This will be your pets second home! My home is a fun, safe and comfortable environment for your furry one to stay at and we are excited to have you! 🐾🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds since the early age of 12. My family would get a new puppy during the summer months where I was home during work hours and had the full responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, play and trained basic obedience. I have always loved living in a home surrounded by dogs giving them unlimited belly rubs, snuggles, and taking them to play. Today is no different as I have my own dog Kronos and work closely with a professional dog training business to help assist in boarding, basic obedience training, dog walking and bathing when needed. I work full time only 3 days a week, giving me 4 days a week of unlimited time for me to spend taking care of your furry best friend for you. I host a small amount of pets at a time to ensure quality time and care for your pet(s). BEFORE BOOKING: I would love to meet with you and your furry best friend(s) first to ensure it will be a good fit for you :)
