Ratings and reviews
Beaux had a great time with Erica! She made sure he was walked and spoiled and she sent me some great photos!
Erica and Craig are amazing. Felt like dropping off at the best second home/grandparent with the love and effort they put into boarding. Our pup will be going back and love the piece of mind that he will be well loved and cared for.
Our Sinder Spoo had a wonderful stay with Erica. Erica was so accommodating with our early am drop off. We received pictures and updates throughout his stay. He was literally smiling in pics as he was having so much fun! Erica handled our very energetic boy with calm and confidence. Amazing stay!!
We LOVE Erica! We knew that our older collie would be well cared for and loved while we were gone. He is very happy to go there and especially likes her backyard. We received updates and photos several times during our trip which made us very relieved . I will continue to use Erica from now on when needed, and I highly recommend her! Thanks Erica for being so attentive and caring!
Erica and Craig are awesome. My pup was very comfortable and and well cared for.... he was torn between coming home and staying. Erica kept me informed on how he was doing, made him comfortable, sent photos and made sure he got his exercise. Definitely will use again.
Erica was amazing!! Her house was so clean and safe for our pup. She gave our pup plenty of exercise and love. She was also very flexible with our schedule. We will definitely be using her again!!

A typical day
A Typical Day A typical day at Woof Woof “Home” Lodge is all about keeping your pup happy, comfortable, and engaged while maintaining their normal routine. 🌅 Morning: We start the day with breakfast, some attention and cuddles, followed by a nice morning walk. With miles of trails right outside our front door, there are plenty of opportunities to get some fresh air and exercise. 🐾 During the Day: We enjoy additional walks, playtime, exploring the neighborhood, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your dog loves chasing a ball, playing with toys, sniffing and exploring on a leisurely walk, or simply hanging out beside us, we tailor activities to their personality and energy level. 🏡 Afternoon: After some exercise and fun, we make sure everyone gets plenty of downtime and a comfortable place to relax. Dogs are welcome to hang out with us throughout the house rather than being confined to a kennel. 🌙 Evening: We enjoy another walk or some relaxed playtime, followed by dinner and a quiet evening. Before bed, every pup gets our special nightly tuck-in service to make sure they’re cozy and comfortable. Our goal isn’t to over-schedule your dog—it’s to give them a fun, relaxing vacation filled with walks, play, companionship, cuddles, and lots of love! 🐶❤️

- 🐾 A Quick Note Before Booking 🐾 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Before we confirm your pup’s stay, we’d love to make sure that our home is a great fit for everyone—especially your furry family member! 🏡🐶❤️ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🐕 We Kindly Ask That Your Pup: 🐾 Be fully house-trained 🐾 Be comfortable using stairs 🐾 Be comfortable sleeping in a crate or designated sleeping area at night 🛏️ 🐾 Be spayed or neutered 🐾 Be friendly / non-aggressive toward people, grandchildren 👧🏻 and other dogs 🐕🦺 🐕 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 Meet & Greet Required We require a meet & greet before your pup’s first stay! 🐶🐾 This gives us a chance to get to know you and your furry family member, learn about their personality, routine, and individual needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. ❤️ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❗ Additional Note ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏰ Extended Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours for Day Care We’re happy to accommodate your preferred drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible! 😊🐾 🕗 Our regular day care rate includes up to 8 hours of care.

We’re always happy to discuss whether we might be a good match! 🐕🦺 ——————- ✅ NOTE ✅ When we’re welcoming a larger dog who is new to us, we generally prefer to have only one large dog staying with us at a time. —- We’ve found that it gives us the opportunity to really get to know them, help them settle in, and give them plenty of individual attention. It just seems to make that first stay more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. 😊
