Fido's Funplace
Pet care experience
Next time you go on vacation, treat your dog to a vacation of his own. Keep your pets healthy and happy while you are away by boarding them with Fido's Funplace. We provide In-Home dog boarding and sitting services to ensure that special member of your family is given the very best of care. At Fido's Funplace we know you have put your trust in us to make sure your pet receives the unique attention they deserve. We have many years experience working with all different breeds and behavioral issues. By keeping owners up to date and informed with every decision regarding the well-being and comfort of their pet you are assured peace of mind at affordable prices. When boarding your dog with us in our home you can rest easy. To make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and comfortable is our top priority. To make sure of this, we prepare for your dog's stay with us by gathering as much information as possible about your dog before his stay. New Clients fill out our Intake Form where we find out what your own house rules are for your dogs, what their feeding, walking, playing, and training routines are at home, what behavior issues you are working on or dealing with, and any allergies, medications, or health issues, etc. I work hard to keep consistent with what your dog is used to at home. This prevents bad habits from forming during your dog's stay. We only accept a limited amount of clients at a time to ensure your dog is getting special love and attention. Since I do not work outside of home, I am here the majority of the time with your dog so he is not getting lonely. We always make sure clean, fresh water is available for your pooch. Your dog will feel right at home eating his own diet, sleeping in his own bed, and playing with his own toys if you prefer - bring whatever you would like for your dog to enjoy during his stay. We want your dog to feel safe, secure, and relaxed on his vacation. We can keep whatever pace with your dog - if you have a couch potato, fine by us, he can relax and watch a movie with us! If you have a playful & energetic dog like we do, don't worry, we're used to it, as our own dog, Heidi, is always ready to play. We have 19 acres for your dog to get his energy out, playing interactive, fun games with me and the other dogs, going for walks/runs with us, or even taking a swim when the weather is nice! Our own dogs, Heidi and Jager are well socialized and get along great with other dogs – they love visitors! So that you can rest easy while your doggie is on vacation, I will keep you updated with information and pictures during his stay at your request. Your dog will even get his very own photo album posted to our facebook page so you can see what he has been up to on his vacation. We invite you to come out for a meet and greet so you can see our home, and you can meet us and our pack. Contact us today to schedule an appointment! ***We offer excellent discounts for boarding multiple dogs with us or for boarding your dog for an extended stay! Please contact me for a custom quote*** For clients that live in our area, we also offer sitting in your home! About this sitter: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have spent many hours reading and educating myself on their care and training. It is a passion of mine. Dogs are such amazing creatures, we know they are loved as part of your family as ours are in our family. They deserve the best so we give it to them! Since I do not have the room or money to own all the unlimited amount of pets I want this is the perfect job for me because it is like I am getting a new dog to love and care for every week! Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs. I have cared for them since I was a little girl and have done it as a business for the last 13 years, since I was 12. Meet my pets Besides Heidi and Jager we have 1 cat named Furgie. About my yard 19 acres of open field back away from the road to run and play in. Dogs that run off or do not have a reliable recall are kept on 50 foot drag lines.
Reviews
It was such a blessing to find Courtney!! We are in the middle of a relocation and our shepherd has been kenneled more than usual. It was so nice to know that he was able to play with the other dogs in that huge back yard instead of the usual dog runs that many kennels use. She sent us pictures too! Which made us feel so much better! We will be regular customers!
This was everything advertised and more. Attention to details : ex ,how Tre would interact with other pets! Pictures of him playing!!! We are so happy with Courtney ‘s services! Will use again and refer!
Courtney was able to help us out with a last second request and was incredibly responsive! She sent a bunch of pictures and our dog came back completely worn out and very happy. Courtney’s home is a great place for active dogs with a two acre fenced in yard for them to play in. Would definitely recommend her!
Disappointed. My first and last time borden with Courtney. Our dogs was very thirsty when they returned home. Can’t understand why they were so thirsty when they both love to drink water. The dogs were borden with Courtney for 3 days and I only received one update and one picture on there stayed. Won’t be going back!

Of course GSDs and Dobes have a special place in our heart so we love keeping them but we love all breeds! I could spend hours just reading about all the different breeds and looking at pictures. We just love dogs. We have a new client intake form to be filled out by new clients so that we can get all the information we need about your pooch so as to make your dog as comfortable as possible during his stay.
