Josie is amazing with Louie. She is reliable and professional, and the property is perfect for an extended dog stay.

Josie was great! I have 2 needy dogs and she handled them with grace and snuggles. She gave me a lovely summary of the overnight stay and even washed our dirty leashes. We'll hope to use her again the next time we are in town!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust & environment: I provide a safe, clean environment at my flat. I wash and disinfect all blankets, toys and hard surfaces between/during each pups stay. I keep first aid supplies on hand for immediate care: everything from hotspots, ear infections and abrasions. I require confirmation of vaccination and flea / tick preventative measures for each dog. I always discuss stay expectations and, when possible, walk through my flat with you, so you know with whom and where your BFF is staying.

Pets

A typical day

Frequent walks, play time and affection are in your pups future! Socializing and work on obedience training in a pack-integrated environment are a wonderful experience. Training: Every pup is different and requires flexibility to meet the needs of dog parents and pups. Expect your pup to fit Saint’s schedule and obedience expectations + any additional training as needed; when discussed.
