During the typical school year I work M-F 7:30-2:30 at a school very close to home, with a lunch break between 11-12 that allows me to come home and let the dogs out. In the summer I’m home more often, as my hours are greatly reduced when I work summer school. I enjoy spending time in the yard playing with the animals, facilitating puppy play dates, busting out the doggy wading pool, or just letting them do their thing as I do yard work and garden. We also enjoy walks, our house is a short distance from Sand Creek Trail so your pup can enjoy the sights and smells of nature without having to go far at all.

Our property offers a large fenced in backyard which allows your pet to go on bathroom breaks, enjoy the sunshine and play without the restriction of a leash. We have a doggy wading pool for hot summer days, and our house is not far from Sand Creek Trail so your furry friend can enjoy a bit of nature while they are out for a walk. Bathroom breaks will be offered at regular intervals no more than 4 hours apart. During their stay your pet will be allowed on our furniture, have access to playmates, toys, treats, walks, and unlimited praise and affection. We never feed table scraps, and always put the toilet lid down. As caregivers we are experienced in caring for elderly animals as well as animals with special needs, including but not limited to administering oral medications (liquid and pill form), ear drops, subcutaneous insulin injections, and supporting pets with mobility issues and vision impairment. If you prefer your pet to be crated at any time during their stay we are able to provide a large crate or you are welcome to bring your own per your discretion. We are happy to provide photos of your pet during their stay and answer any calls or texts checking in on them while they are boarding with us. Thank you for choosing us to care for your pet!!

Pet care experience

Please review my entire profile before deciding if we are the right fit for you and your furry family members. ❤️ 🐕 If your doggo loves other animals and being a part of a pack then they will love staying at our hound dog hotel! We subscribe to Bark Box so there are plenty of toys and treats to enjoy during their stay! I’ve helped care for dogs my whole life, and I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a teen I volunteered at the Humane Society, as an adult I’ve rescued several of my pets.
