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).

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.

Erica did a great job watching Oliver. She was in constant contact while he was at her house. She sent pictures all day long of him interacting with the other dogs in her care. She showed concern with any issues and really seemed to care that he was doing well. I would highly recommend Erica and hope to use her again in the future. Oliver seems like he had a wonderful time with her.

Erica was exceptional and she truly exceeded my expectations. My pup was so excited and had the greatest time under her care. Would recommend her and the friendly environment she provides over and over again. Would not consider taking my pup elsewhere, as long as she is around. Photos & videos were beyond over the top. Thank you Erica!!

Erica was the best! I was so comfortable leaving my puppy with her. He had the best time playing with all the dogs! And all the updates and pics and videos were so great. I was so relaxed while away on vacation. Highly recommend Erica. Reed will be going back for sure next time we go away!!!

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.
