The house gets moving around 8-9am. We go out to potty and have playtime. I feed around 9:30 am. Everyone takes a break to settle tummies for 1 hour so no chance of bloat and then go back outside to play. We play for the rest of the day. In the summer, we have misters and splash pads and 2 pools. If it's too hot in the summer, we come in the house and play inside. We can take naps if needed. Dinner is around 6 pm. We stay up for 1 hour after dinner and then go back outside to play. As you can see from the photos, we have a lot of outdoor lighting, so we can keep playing even when it's dark. On cold or stormy days, we all hang out in the dining room and living room on the couch or dog beds watching Dog TV and playing until 9:30-10 pm. Then we go out to potty one last time before bed. Summer nights, we stay outside playing until about midnight because it's cooler.

Safety, trust & environment

My property can be conveniently divided into 5 sections to ensure safety if necessary. Each room in my home is equipped with gates to maintain a secure environment. Individual crates with comfortable blankets and water bowls are provided for each pet, ensuring their comfort and well-being and to closely monitor their dietary habits, each pet is fed separately, allowing us to identify any potential issues. Feeding times are consistently maintained, with meals provided around 8:30-9:30 AM and 5:30-6:30 PM. As an individual with a strong commitment to cleanliness and organization, my home and yard are meticulously maintained, ensuring a spotless environment at all times. Two designated poop bucket stations are strategically placed for efficient waste disposal. As soon as waste is detected, it is promptly removed to maintain a sanitary environment. Our dedication to cleanliness extends to the yard, which is thoroughly washed every other day using Rescue disinfectant to ensure a hygienic outdoor space. To prevent accidents within the house, male dogs wear belly bands, while potty pads are placed in the sun room to accommodate the needs of female dogs. I am more than happy to provide daily videos and pictures to keep you updated on the well-being of your pets.

A typical day

The dogs enjoy playing with each other and a variety of toys, both indoors and outdoors. I have 2 pools for them to cool off in on particularly hot days, as well as misters and splash pads in the backyard. The dogs take great pleasure in chasing birds and squirrels. My yard is escape-proof, and I have been told that it resembles a Zen garden, which contributes to a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere for everyone.

Melo’s stay with Dominique was great. Her setup was spacious, clean, and safe. We appreciate her patience and care for our dog’s stress as a first time boarder, and she kept us updated through her three night stay. Definitely recommend.

Our dog Wilma Lou comes back from daycare exhausted and so happy! She has the time of her life and is now socializing with other dogs. Thank you!

My anxious senior dog used to come home filthy and traumatized from the kennel. Now that he goes to Dominique’s, he comes home rested, clean, and happy. I can’t say enough good things about her and her way with dogs.
