Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with no personal pets at the house. There are also no children as I live with my parents only. Our environment is generally quiet. Where your dog chooses to sleep/lounge is based on their preferences; they are more than welcome to sleep in my room if they need company at night, or living room space can also be arranged if they prefer to have a dedicated place alone from time to time in order to adjust to the new environment. In the day, constant supervision is provided indoors and outside.

Information Gaileen A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Any special instructions will be followed as a rule, and I'll be happy to assist. Note: Accepting a pickup/drop-off request is dependent on the distance; this also applies for the rate.

A typical day

Depending on your dog's preferences, we have a fenced yard to run around in, take a long walk, or play interactively indoors; if they love to hike, even better as my dad and I are hiking enthusiasts! I'm open to any specific activities or games that your pet enjoys so that they have a fun time as they wait for you. Daily updates with photos and messages will be provided to keep you informed and reassured.

We are so thankful for Gaileen! Our pup is always in good care with Gaileen and we so appreciate the updates and sticking to Louie’s schedule. Gaileen is easy to contact and communicate with and has been flexible on timing with us when needed. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!

Gaileen took excellent care of Indiana today as a “practice run” for a longer stay next month. She sent updates and photos and responded quickly to messages. It looks like Indiana had a great time, and we feel very comfortable leaving our pup in her care for our upcoming vacation.

Gaileen boarded my two 80+lbs shepherds for over a week. One of my boys takes medication for his high anxiety and reactivity. She handled him perfectly and gave his meds according to my directions.. She regularly sent photos and updates and was reachable if I needed anything. I had to change my drop off day/time and she was more willing to accommodate. This is the second time she boarded for me and I would book with her again! It means a lot that she made my pups feel so comfortable. I am so appreciative! Thank you Gaileen!!
