Clay and I are both huge dog lovers who enjoy spending time with pups of all kinds! I’m an educator currently on summer break, so I’m home full-time and able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Dogs in our care have frequent opportunities for potty breaks, outdoor time, play, and companionship whenever needed. We offer doggy day care and boarding, and our goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay with us.

Information Ethel V. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know what accommodations I can help with your dog. Please let me know what special needs or behaviors I can account for. I love to know about the doggy as much as possible so I can make their stay the best as possible. Information to know ahead of time is: are the friendly with other dogs? Do they require any specific help with potty or eating? Are they restricted to all human foods? Do they have allergies?

A typical day

We love being in the city! We would love to roam around and take walks with your doggo around farmers markets, the river, or even around the fan. I enjoy playing in my backyard with dogs weather it be free running or fetch.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Ethel and I LOVE dogs! In my life, I’ve owned a Pomeranian, bichon frisé, and a golden doodle. Dogs have always been part of my life. I have pet sit all kinds of dogs, from young, old, big, and small. I am a very active person so if your dog likes going on runs or long walks I can definitely do that! If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy. We live in the city in a house with a fenced in yard and very friendly neighbors ❤️

Absolutely amazing! She accommodated my last minute request at night due to a family emergency, without any hesitation. Highly recommend!

Comet did great with Ethel! She gently introduced him to the other dogs and then he played the whole time! Thank you!
