Your dogs home away from home. ❤️

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Heidi I am 31 years old. I have owned dogs, cats, and a number of other animals my entire life. I worked in a doggie daycare for just over 3 years, 2 of those years I worked as the assistant manager. Dogs have always been my passion. I currently own 2 dogs. I have two beautiful amazing children! I absolutely love animals and have my whole life. I have 63 acres of land, complete with a man made pond, and woods. I have a fenced back yard in with over 6ft high fencing. The yard has woodchips as the base. They help keep your fur baby cleaner, plus gives the dogs more traction then the natural clay did. In the warm weather I have have plastic kiddie pools for the dogs to play in. I also have a wooden platform that the dogs love sunbathing on. Somedays I have as many as 10-15 dogs per day. For the most part all the dogs play in one pack. Some however, stay separate in the gated off living room, where they can nap on the couch unbothered by the young ones playing. Others who are introverted, and don't enjoy pack life, can have their own space in the dog room.(A large room where most of the crates are kept.) The dog room has a door that leads directly into the yard, for any dogs that don't want to associate with other dogs. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. Taking care of you pets is my main priority after my kids. Caring for your fur babies is my full time job. I am usually home a minimum of 20 hours a day. Side notes to know. I do provide cat boarding as well, however I keep the cats locked in my bedroom to ensure they stay safe. All dogs are crated, or sectioned off whenever I leave and at night for safety. My main concern is keeping your babies safe. I provide crates for your fur baby, so you don't have to lug your own from home. I also have plenty of stainless steel dogs bowls for your pet to use. The number of dogs I myself own also fluctuates. I have 2 dogs I have owned since puppies, and have been rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming on the side. So the number of pets under my care that are mine, changes from time to time.

Does you dog have any allergies? Are they up to date on flea/tick medication and vaccines? Is there anything special you want me to know about your fur baby?

A typical day

Our day depends on what the pack feels like doing. Nice days we usually spend most of our time out in the yard. If it is a pack of older dogs, they usually prefer snuggling on the couch/relaxing inside together. If it is a pack full of puppies they usually spend their time devided between wrestling inside and out. We usually go outside in the yard 5-6 times a day, some days more.
