Big dogs, small dogs, all dogs!
Pet care experience
We're a shepherd experienced home with a pack of 4, and extensive experience with fostering and caring for dogs. Our pack is a German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Mallinois and Mega Mutt, so we can handle most/all difficult breeds. We can work on leash manners, off leash conditioning, basic obedience, outings and more with your pup if you'd like. We do lots of fun mental stimulation throughout the day: lick mats, kongs, puzzles, training and more! We can work with your dog with any tools you prefer: long leads, short leads, prong, martingale, e-collar etc. We have 36 acres with curated trails and fields to let pups roam, but no fence. Our guest space is a 30x20 room with a king bed, 2 crates, dog cots, dog beds and laminate flooring so they can do very little damage. There's even a TV so they can have their favorite show on when they relax. This space has its own entrance with 2 solid doors between it and the main house. Fully heated and cooled. I work from home so the pup(s) will have as much company as they want during their stay.
Reviews
Gracie was super nice. She sent pictures and kept me well informed about how my dog’s stay was going. She was very kind and patient with dog, even after finding out my dog had much more severe separation anxiety than I knew about. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs to board their dog.
Great experience, our dog was well taken care of, healthy and happy when he came home.
Gracie was wonderful about sending us pictures of our dog's time with them, especially relating to how she was playing with the dogs they paired her with. She is home now and, judging from her behavior, I would says she truly misses her time there!!
Gracie took great care of Haley! I received several updates which helped relieve my anxiety. I would definitely recommend them
