Hershey's House of Hugs Dog Care
Pet care experience
For 12 wonderful years, our home was a dog home to Hershey, our beautiful chocolate newfie/lab/retriever mix, my best buddy, but in September 2016 very suddenly, my family and I had to say good-bye to our beloved friend due to cancer. Our house is still very empty without her presence, which is why I became a Host with Rover that same year and dedicated it to Hershey in her honour. I look after one dog at a time so your pup wouldn’t have to worry about interacting with other pets and I also work from home so your dog would not be alone during the work day. We have a fenced in backyard which is perfect for going outside to play. I am more than capable handling larger dogs as Hershey was 90 lbs. of love however, all dogs are special to me regardless of size or breed. I am very well-known in my neighbourhood with my dog friends as a regular dog walker/dog lover, and am accustomed to meeting other dogs I know while on our walks. I am very attentive to individual dog's needs as our senior dog had a few (surgery recovery, medication, lameness, slow walks, etc.). I do have allergies, so certain breeds are not good for me, but that will be discussed up front, as it is my policy to always have a Meet & Greet prior to accepting any pups for boarding. Being a Host with Rover has helped me process the loss of Hershey by allowing me the opportunity to have many wonderful dogs stay in our home. I hope you will consider having your pup stay with me. - Janet

Thank you so much Janet and Jeff. Tango really has the best time with you both. He gets the care, love and attention as if it was me and I truly appreciate that. I know I can go away and leave him with no worries. Thanks again!
Janet’s love for dogs was palpable from the first phone call that my husband and I knew she was the one who would love our boy like we do. The photos, videos, and updates proved how loved Clarkie felt with her and allowed us to enjoy our holiday. Thank you Janet for taking the best care of our fur baby and treating him like family! We love you!
Updates and photos throughout Lola’s stay helps us enjoy our holidays even more, knowing she is so well cared for. Janet takes notes of anything new she observes with your pup and will let you know, she truly cares about the dog’s well being. Thank you for another lovely stay Janet!
We do not know how to THANK YOU enough. We went away for a month, which we have never done before, and one thing we were not worried about is the care Alessi would get from Janet, Geoff and family. Janet is amazing, she goes above and beyond with the care of our fur baby. Janet is very caring and loving. She ensured not only was Alessi comfortable but we were too. Lots of pics, updates and fab videos sent daily. You are the best out there. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Alessi. She misses your sofa (lol)

I have a fenced in backyard with a dog run right around my detached garage for your dog to have a ball playing and running. Within my home, I have a double side door entrance as well as baby gates where needed to prevent bolting out my front door. I have a large crate should your dog require that at night. My home is completely dog friendly and I have rubber mats for dogs recovering from surgery or senior dogs with hip/leg issues to ease getting up from the floor. I also have many different types of dog beds for all sizes of dogs. Your dog will be completely happy, safe and comfortable in my home and will thoroughly enjoy their Vacay with me😀🐕🦺🐾💕
Home
Information Janet S. would like to know about your pet
I only board dogs who are 2+ years. As myself and other family members work from home, your dog must be able to quietly cope unattended, without barking, while phone calls or video meetings are happening. As every dog is different, this will be discussed at our mandatory Meet & Greet. At that time, we will discuss your dog’s habits, routine, temperament , etc. so that there are no surprises. As I said, I am accustomed to large dogs, but absolutely love all dogs, regardless of size or breed. They are all special to me.
A typical day
One of my favourite activities is going for a walk with a furry friend as it's great exercise and gets us both outside several times a day. Playing in our backyard is also a favourite thing to do as it's a safe place for your pup to have fun and run.
