The Hippie MuttHutt
Pet care experience
First let me start with saying to find us on Facebook at The Hippie MuttHutt. I share pictures and videos all day long! I have been in the animal field for over 10 years now, doing everything from at home care to working in a very busy vets office. Daycare and boarding is where my heart is at! I want to change the game though! I have 2 adult males, both fixed, who are ready to make some new friends. Let me tell you a little bit about where they will be staying. I own my 3 bedroom home and it is 100% set up for dogs. I have baby gates set around the house just in case but every room is open and ready to explore. My garage is set up with a couch and chair incase anyone wants to lounge in the garage. On nice days I open the garage and run a gate across so the kids can lay on the couch and enjoy the passerby’s. If their cup of tea is to play ball I have a fully fenced in yard and a whole lot of tennis balls waiting for a mouth! Dogs are allowed on furniture at my house so please let me know if that isn’t allowed with your baby and I will make sure I respect that. I’m a crazy dog mom so I will respect your dogs needs to the best of my abilities. What to expect while they are here, this is where the magic will happen. I leave TVs and music playing at all times. Sometimes our anxious kids just need something to keep their minds occupied. We also enjoy doing craft day every once in awhile and my second passion is dog photography. There will be a point where your pup will bring home a craft or a silly picture. My goal is to make your dog forget they aren’t at their own house. I want my home to be their second home. If you have never thought about doing daycare like this please give it a try! I will want to do a meet and greet with your pup sometime before they come for daycare. I will bring Spike to just make sure your pup is a good fit. If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I am super open and honest with everyone owner I’ve come across. I really look forward to meeting you and spoiling your baby!

I have a fully fenced in yard and baby gates at all doors. If need be I do have extra large crates I could put up BUT that’s only if need be. I want everyone to be able to hang out together and if they need some time alone I would much rather baby gate them and give them an entire room.

Information Donna S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about your babies beforehand. Knowledge makes their stay a lot easier and less stressful for the owner. Toy aggression, treat/food aggression, dominance, anything at all you can tell me please do. I will have an open house policy so I need to make sure all dogs get along well. If I know their personalities before they come in I can fix any issue before it becomes an issue, for example if a dog is ball aggressive and I have the balls out I can easily put them away before she/he comes over. I also like to know if your dog is trained to do certain things. If they aren’t allowed on furniture. If they have to wait to be told to go outside. Anything they are expected to do at home I would like to know so they can continue while they are here with me. Daycare is super fun and boarding is a great vacation for the pups but I do still have rules and expectations for them. It will not be a free for all so anything you need me to know, please make sure to tell me.
A typical day
I absolutely love to go on adventures with the babies. I, with owners permission of course, love taking them right down the road and walking the trails in the woods. During the summer that’s not as often but I do find other things to stimulate them. The boys and I love having, what we call, water park days. I have splash mats and baby pools we set up and enjoy the water. On slower days I have even taken kids to the beach to enjoy Sandy days. I also really love to craft with the dogs. From paw print paintings to peanut butter painting. We play dress up and do photo shoots pretty often as wel!
