Premier In-Home Boarding SPOTS FILL FAST Like you, we’ve also experienced frustration in trying to find the perfect dog sitter. Honestly, it was similar to a “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” scenario. Some sitters watched larger dogs with smaller dogs; not a good fit. Some sitters’ homes were, let’s say, not the cleanest or safest. And other sitters wouldn’t even allow us to see inside their homes. A no go! So, in 2017, as the old adage goes, “You want something done right…do it yourself”, we started watching smaller breed dogs. We limited our weight classification to 29 pounds maximum and all dogs must be considered a “small dog breed”. We wanted pet parents to feel safe leaving their furry family members with us. We named this little pup oasis The Happy Dog Retreat and with over 300 5-STAR REVIEWS, we must be doing something right. We encourage you to take a look at our pet parent reviews and to go to our pup photo page and see the great pictures. Today, pet parents MUST be diligent in looking for a sitter that has long time experience, pet safety as a top priority and, of course, a REAL passion for pups. At The Happy Dog Retreat your pup’s experience will mimic their actual home experience. They will receive only the BEST in pampered care, freedom to roam the house and explore a beautiful backyard gated play area. Our safety measures we use are second to none. We supply clean food/water bowls, ample toys and fluffy beds. You only need to bring a copy of their recent updated vaccination records (Bordatella a must), any daily meds, and food/snacks. We make it easy. We promise, this will be your go to "Home Away from Home" for your fur baby after only your 1st visit. Come meet us, take the tour, ask us questions and see for yourself why The Happy Dog Retreat is #1. Don’t be alarmed when you come back and your pup wants to stay a little while longer….it’s normal. After all…it’s their VACATION.
