Large house, backyard, by the beach

Pet care experience

My hubby and I have had dogs for over 13 years now. We just moved back from Florida where we had a huge property with a 15,000 sq ft yard - plenty of space for the doggies to run and play. Most of the pics you will see is from our time in the Sunshine State. But not to worry, we moved into a very nice neighbourhood in Breezy Point. We might have a small yard now but the house is large and it's right by the bay side, and the beach is less than a mile away! We love dogs and understand the great responsibility that comes with having pets. We have a strong belief that the dog's personality is based on its upbringing and NOT its breed, so ALL BREEDS are welcome! Pits to beagles, we love them all:) We are really down to earth people and love all animals no matter the breed or character. Responsible, flexible. Pick ups available. Can host your dog on most holidays. Your pet will have plenty of room to rest or even play indoors. We have a backyard with a doggy door so your puppers wont have to hold it at all! We are always home (have an online plant biz on etsy) and always supervise whenever the doggies go out in the yard. No crates unless requested or abolutely necessary. Day care must be booked 24h before the actual stay. All prices are final and non negotiable, especially during holidays and/or for longer stays. We only take dogs that are well socialized with both cats and dogs alike. All dogs sleep in the common area, a large open living room, there is a couch and plenty of doggy beds for them. Meet and greet with all new dogs is a MUST before any booking (boarding or daycare).

Marlow and I are HUGE fans of Erica and her husband - truly it felt like Marlow had such a blast she’d rather stay with them longer if she could. I now fondly call Erica’s home doggy Disneyland and Marlow is already looking forward to the next time she’ll visit. Erica was great about communication, I especially appreciated her detailed dedication in getting to know her pups temperament, personality fit and more, it was clear that Marlow will get the best care with undivided attention.

Really there are no words to describe the care and concern ol Moose was given by Erica and her husband. Besides the photos and daily updates they had a fine understanding of the dog and also worked to socialize her and were frank about behavior. I recommend Erica without exception. They have a beautiful outdoor setting as well.

A typical day

I usually walk everyone in the morning out in the yard before feeding. I can walk the pups around our neighborhood (if leash trained) once a day. They can come and go out in the yard whenever they need throughout the whole day. The doggy door is closed over night because i cant supervise. First potty is 8-9am, last is midnight.
