My Buddy's Doggy Daycare!

Pet care experience

Hello, friend. My name is Buddy (oh squirrel!) and my mom is the greatest! She is so patient, loving and FUN! When we (squir) meet you will see. We (rel!) play all day and I would love to meet you and show you around my yard! Squirel!....Oh...Now here is my mama- Hi, I'm Jennifer and I have been around, owned and raised dogs since childhood. When I started working from home we added a puppy to our older dog and cat household. That's when I realized how much joy playing and training dogs all day really was. I would own and rescue 100's of dogs if I could. I came upon this app and thought it would be a great way to get more fur babies in my life :). I've joined forces with my adult son and mother to provide 24/7 loving care for your pup! Whether it's for an afternoon or a couple of weeks your baby will be pampered and spoiled with us. So come bring your pup to meet and play with my Buddy in a safe dog friendly environment! THE FAMILY My adult son, Derek, partners with me to care for the pups now that I am working out of the home. Raised with dogs his whole life he is now is a position working part time from home to provide companionship and a watchful eye on the dogs in his care. He does a wonderful job and like me and his grandma has a natural way with our fur babies. My mother, Shirley is an extra layer of back up so our emergency will not become yours. Shirley always has an open lap or a free hand for extra pets and love. OUR RESIDENT PUPS Buddy is a shepherd whippet mix. Like a greyhound he has bursts of energy and then is mellow. Only 1, still a puppy with typical puppy energy, loves meeting new friends to leap, be chased and tug of war. Charlie is our rescue momma dog, she'll greet you with giant ears and a wiggle butt. After a quick sniff and a grrrr to set them straight she'll then momma your pup like all the others. Wiz is our newest edition. He was rescued off the streets and has quickly learned to be a perfect gentleman. Except for the jumping, we are still working on that :) OUR HOME We are focused on dogs and our house reflects that. The carpets and floors are often muddy from playing rain or shine. The walls could use fresh paint so if they get scratched or dirty it's fine with us. Our furniture isn't great so all animals are allowed on couches chairs and beds. My house is clean no icky smells (There are cigarettes smoked in one master bedroom and outside) no fur everywhere. I pick up dog poops quickly like asap to keep dogs healthy. We are a free range house dogs are only kenneled for rest, if I can not watch them in an emergency or as directed by pet parents. Otherwise they roam and romp as desired. We have a quite room for nervous pups. Doors are kept closed to off limit areas. My back door is almost always open for potty time. We are super layed back and believe in positive reinforcement as opposed to punishment for all animals. HOLIDAY RATES all holdays the days before and after are at an increase rate. Please contact me for a quote! Labor Day Thanksgiving Christmas Veterans day Fourth of July *my over night boarding is per 24 hour period. i.e. Drop off 7am pick up 7am next day, drop off 6pm pick up next day 6pm. If leaving dog for 32 hours there will be another 1/2 day daycare fee of $12.00, etc. minimum stay 2 night stay, 3 night on holidays I look forward to our meet and greet and to provide your pup with wonderful, loving, dependable care!

Jennifer and her son Derek were accomodating with our last minute drop off time change. Dropping Hoku off that morning, we met with Derek, who was very friendly. We also met their family pups, which Hoku seemed to get along with right away. At the end of the day, we had a happy and tired girl!

Jennifer and her son Derek were absolutely wonderful to leave my dogs with. Laid back and easy going and my pups looked in good spirits the whole time! Highly recommend their care taking.

Response was very prompt, the household was friendly, and our dog was having such fun with their smaller dog that he didn't even glom into us when we arrived to pick him up after the weekend.

Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet

No need limitations here! I've never met a bad dog. Of course I'll need all the basics-shots-flea treatment used-your pups temperament or how would you describe your baby-their likes and dislikes-any restrictions-diet-medications-their hopes and dreams-thats tongue and cheek-I will take as many details as you think I need to keep your dog safe. I prefer dogs that have been crate trained. I have medium and extra large crates or bring your own. Pets will need to come with their own food, bedding and a comfort toy for crate. Bedding will need to be taken home and washed weekly if at daycare. Contact for special rates for two dog homes. Holiday rates $30.00 a night 4 night minimum. Labor Day weekend 4 night minimum $30 per night

A typical day

Typical day-free to roam the house romp and play indoors and out. Our house has AC . I will offer water play in kiddie pool or sprinkler, homemade pupcream and pupsicles when it is hot. We can take walks in my quiet, dog friendly cull de sac and my house also backs to a field where I can walk dogs safely away from traffic or use my 100' lead for that off leash feel. Hondo dog park is just three minutes away! A field trip isn't put of the question. I like to offer mental as well as physical stimulation for pups. Puzzle games with or without treats, new smells and textures to experience and varying walking paths all keep puppy challenged and happy.
