We typically do Fridays to Sundays for first stays to get to know your pet and their needs. As a return client week days may be available.

Safety, trust & environment

I have purchased this loving home from my grandmother that raised me. It has been completely refurbished including the yards. We have wood floors throughout to clean up those unintentional mishaps that happen. Yards are clean and all droppings picked up immediately. Animals are welcome on furniture (and our lap) We have security cameras as well around the home. We have a small 5lbs Maltipoo and a rescued kitten 1yo that was raised with the dog. We would rather do a meet and greet so you and your pet will feel comfortable about the stay. We slowly introduce the animals on a leash so they can get acquainted. We cater to the needs of each pet as an individual. Puppies in Quarantine due to shots will be in our home , pad trained, and watched closely in our fenced backyard. Our cat gets along with dogs and other cats as well. Cat boarding depends on availability (will not have any other boarders during a feline approved stay)

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household

Information John & Catherine D. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet get along with other dogs and cats? Does your puppy have all its shots? Are your dogs pad trained indoors on a pad or do they go out to potty? How often? If during the week stay how long can the animal be left unattended? They will have Black Jack our Maltipoo and or our kitty Calypso for company. (If pad trained please bring one puppy pad dabbed with the dogs urine, it helps them know where to go) Does the dog walk on a leash? Can the dog be taken in a car to a park or marina for a walk? Do you have a preference for treats?

A typical day

A typical weekend stay includes morning snuggles, feeding, more snuggles, playtime, a minimum of two walks per day , socialization, and of course more snuggles. Some pets sleep with parents so we make sure to accommodate when needed.

We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
