Hi, I'm Dustine! I am a Lifetime dog owner. I have 4 dogs of my own: a Boxer, Doberman and a Terrier mix, and a Staffordshire rescue, they are my children! I worked at a Vet Clinic for 5 years and am very familiar with different breeds and personalities. My fur babies are very friendly and like Me, love making new friends! I became certified with ABC (Animal Behavioral College) in 2016, where I have learned to train dogs basic training. I trained all of mine myself , they are very well behaved as well as dog friendly, they get along with other dog friendly dogs. I'd prefer yours do as well, MY APOLOGIES BUT I DO NOT BOARD INTACKED MALES or allow aggressive canine around My family, for our safety and yours. I, unfortunately also do not sit under the age of 6 months, due to diseases and training purposes. My yard is also very much dog friendly, there is plenty of room for your fur babies to run around and get plenty of exercise, yet kenneled if and when needed. I'd prefer bringing your own Kennel. FYI - Kennels are set up in temperature controlled area. I will be available to tend to the dogs as much as needed. I do allow them to play during the morning and through out the day, although, like my grand babies, we do have nap time to give everyone a break to rest. If you prefer them to only have certain playtime please let me know. I have a safe, dog friendly yard. They also have full access to a never ending water bowl and a doggy pool to cool off, I never just let dogs loose, I always introduce properly.

Cali has a great time with Dustine and her four legged family and well as her two legged famliy. She was treated as one of their own. In fact she was I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home with me!! But like Dustine said she is my spirited animal and was so happy to see me. I highly recommend her!!!

Dustine was so gentle and reassuring not only with our little furry family member but with our family. Her home is so warm and welcoming. She has a tender heart and it comes across in her interactions. we’ree very very thankful for her.

My 19 month old Shih-Tzu "Asher" had an amazing time with Dustine and her family. It was the first time I left him overnight anywhere and she was in constant contact with photos to let me know he was fine. I also loved the idea that she had children there to play with him and keep him occupied. I will definitely book with her when the need comes up.

Dustine and her husband were amazing! She sent photos and videos. Our dogs were able to hang out with them in the backyard and you could just tell they had a ball. We will happily leave our girls with Dustine again if/when needed.

Amazing people. So friendly. I had never left Theo anywhere over night before. She sent me pictures and videos the whole time. Definitely will rebook with them soon. Theo had so much fun he slept a whole 9 hours when we got him home ?

Schedule

My work schedule allows me to to have plenty of time to care for your furrbabies! I let them out every morning at 4am and depending on the temperature they may stay out or get put back up. If the temperature is right, they stay outside for a bit and I put them in kennels for nap time around noon so no one gets to worn out or frustrated. They come in at lunch time for a couple hours nap time and put back out to play. I never leave outside if I am not home or at night.

A typical day

When dropped off, my dogs are Kenneled to allow yours to roam the yard and feel comfortable, I then slowly and carefully introduce the dogs to each other. They are allowed supervised Playtime for awhile, I then put them all in their Kennels for rest time and naps.
