The Schlegels Love Dogs!
Pet care experience
I'm a dog mommy of 3+ years to Bandit (she lives up to her name haha). She's a rescued cattle dog, and has the sweetest demeanor. Bandit's an active pup who LOVES other dogs. She's sweet, can sometimes be shy around humans, and submissive to other dogs (she just wants to play with everyone!). She doesn't have a bad bone to her body. And ever since I had my human baby, Bandit's been hanging more with bipedals than her own kind––which is why we think she'd love to make new friends, and even have sleep overs!
Reviews
I don't think we can say enough good things about Ifdy's house of doggie fun during our dog's recent stay. I'd give 10 out of 5 stars if possible. We've never had any issues elsewhere, but Cedar was obviously one very happy pup with Ifdy - she was smiling big and wagging her tail in happiness during our meet-n-greet, and kept doing the same during her entire happy stay. We received great feedback, updates and photos from Ifdy on Cedar while she was there, learning that she and Ifdy's dog Bandit played together constantly; it was nice to know that Cedar had a fast friend during her stay. Ifdy went over and above and made some special accommodations for us, for which we were very appreciative, and we felt not only comfortable but confident that Cedar was in good hands the entire time. I think Cedar was a bit sad to leave afterwards, like a kid having to go home after 2 weeks of camp. We'd definitely use Ifdy again, in a heartbeat.
Ifdy was great with our energetic, Border Collie! She gave us daily updates with pictures and asked lots of questions during our meet and greet, ensuring us that Duncan would feel right at home.
After one smooth overnight visit in March, we booked Teddy with Ifdy for 11 nights in April. This was the longest we have ever left our 11-year-old fur baby with anyone other than a family member. The regular updates showed that Teddy had a great time and obviously felt comfortable with Ifdy, Bandit and the family. This gave us great peace of mind while we were far away. The real proof of a successful visit is how he's been since he has been back home. He resumed his regular eating routine pretty quickly and seems to be back to normal. No signs of stress or anxiety. We know that he was well loved and cared for while his family was gone. Until next time, Ifdy!
Ifdy was such a wonderful host! She took care of my little guy for a weekend and was super helpful. Her own dog is super sweet and calm even though my little guy can be demanding of attention. Highly recommend!

I'm a stay-at-home mom with a toddler who's also a HUGE dog lover. We live in a quiet neighborhood, and during the day we go for walks to enjoy the sun. At home, we spend time playing and napping.
