Your furbaby will feel at home

Pet care experience

I have doggy daycare and Boarding in my home. I have a big secured backyard. My hubby and I are here 24/7. 100% crate free. I like to do a free meet and greet before we book so you can have full confidence that your furbaby is in excellent hands. My animals are my babies and I'll treat yours like they are my own. I've had dogs and cats for over 20 yrs. I have been around many different dog breeds and I’m very comfortable with all dogs of all sizes. I can assist with leash training and walking manners. I can bathe your dog and clip nails but no haircut. Your furbabies health and fitness is a priority. We will go on walks every 2 hours. I take them to a fenced in park where they can run and be free. We will play fetch. Your pooch will love to come over; we play and relax all day. I'll send you pictures and videos, we can even video chat. They will feel at home, I have no restrictions with furniture and my whole place is pet friendly. They won't be left alone. I also offer home cooked meals that are healthy for your pooch (optional). I put my heart and soul into each furbaby I’m responsible for. Join the Bougie Paws community, your furbaby will thank you!

Mochi gives five stars always happy and tired after day care

My Mochi is an anxious pup, but seemed to get more and more comfortable each day of her stay with Ilona. I appreciated her quick response times and flexibility, and was grateful she could accommodate us on rather short notice. She provided an update each evening with photos from the day, and I think Mochi liked interacting with all the daycare dogs, as well.
