Pet care experience

**Looking to add more CORDOVA BAY pups to our client list** Let us become your best friend’s best friend! My husband and I run a busy dog adventure hikes and boarding service out of our home in Cordova Bay. We love meeting new dogs and observing their unique quirks and characteristics. We pay attention to their likes and dislikes while establishing healthy boundaries. We believe in training through positive reinforcement, ensuring your dog has a great time and feels confident in allowing us to lead the pack. We build a relationship with our clients by walking their dogs weekly in a social group setting. That gives us the time to build a wonderful relationship with their dog(s) where trust, respectfulness, and fun are the focus. Dogs are picked up, whisked away to a fun trail, hiked for 75 minutes, and returned toweled off and tired. Once that relationship is built, we will be available for boarding needs in our home. We have a big friendly cat, our senior dog, and a toddler that must be considered when deciding if we are the best boarding option for the dog(s). Our home has a large, fenced, and treed backyard that backs onto Lochside trail. No aggressive dogs or dogs prone to resource guarding are accepted into our program. Please contact us if you live in Cordova Bay and are interested in setting up a meet & greet with us. We look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Heather is very professional, friendly, and communicative. She knows all the tricks on how to get my pup to trust her, and I felt confident leaving him in her care. He seemed to really enjoy his adventure for the day!

Heather is great! Experienced and understanding, she handles dogs well. My 2 GSDs clearly enjoyed their time with her. Will definitely use her again and can highly recommend.
