Doodle and Friends Haven

We’re a mother-daughter duo completely obsessed with Doodles and all their furry friends! When your pup stays with us, they aren't just a guest, they’re family. We turn our home into a haven for your pups, ensuring they feel every bit as loved and pampered as they do with you. Expect plenty of belly rubs, cuddle-filled days, and all the love they can handle. 🤍 Enjoy access to a private wooded trail, a spacious fenced backyard, and a playful Goldendoodle buddy, Dumpling. Inside our home, your pup will relax in a beautifully maintained, spa-scented space that’s open, bright, and airy. Daily walks along the peaceful wooded trail are a key part of this stay, offering your dog both exercise and calm exploration in nature. From cozy nap spots to the serene atmosphere, every detail feels like a luxury retreat. We only host one dog at a time to ensure your beloved pup gets the royal treatment they deserve. As a special bonus, we offer a free professional photoshoot at the end of their stay. It's almost like they're having a vacation of their own!

Maverick had such a great 5-night vacation at Joy’s house! 😊 From the start, Joy and her family made us feel completely comfortable leaving him there. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear Maverick wasn’t just being watched — he was truly cared for, loved on, and got lots of attention, snuggles, and playtime. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. We’d totally recommend Joy to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Joy could not have been a better choice to watch our dog over the long weekend! She and her family welcomed Myka with open arms and treated her like part of their family. She went above and beyond our expectations and we are excited to have our dog stay with her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

After leaving my job to stay home with my kids, I’ve loved spending intentional time with them and with our 2-year-old Goldendoodle, Dumpling. When your dog stays with us, we will make it a priority to care for these dogs and create special memories with them. Whether it’s playing fetch in our backyard, walking the wooded private trails, or socializing with neighborhood dogs, they will always be an integral part of our day. Dumpling truly thrives with another dog by his side. He’s playful, gentle, and full of love. Nothing fills his joy tank like a good play session with a buddy. Afterward, I can already picture them both curled up for a long, cozy nap near the windows. My goal is to make your beloved baby feel safe, loved, and special while they’re here. My daughter plays a big part in ensuring that your dogs gets the detailed care they need: from feeding routine, hygiene and grooming, playtime, and belly rubs. In our home, dogs are treated like family. We understand how hard it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. That’s why we take the time to get to know both you and your dog. We will only take 1 dog at a time to ensure focus and quality service. We will send daily updates to give you a peace of mind that your dog is happy and healthy here. It's almost like they're having their own vacation here in the beautiful Mill Creek! Share your pup’s unique care instructions, and we’ll follow them to a tee. We’re confident we have the time, energy, and heart to give your furry baby the care they deserve.

Pets

A typical day

During their stay, your pup will enjoy at least two long walks daily along our private trails. We love taking them out in the early morning, afternoon, and one last stroll in the evening to help ensure a restful night’s sleep. On weekends, they get to explore the backyard while our family enjoys BBQ time together. And of course, there’s always time for fetch and a fun game of tug-of-war! Inside our home, we’ve created a spacious area where dogs are free to roam, play, nap, and simply be themselves. Our quiet, cool mudroom serves as a cozy sleeping spot, with calming music playing to help them relax. We provide comfy pillows, blankets, plenty of toys, and all-natural treats. Between walks and naps, your pup will get plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and even some training sessions! The day before pickup, we offer a complimentary professional photoshoot in our studio. As a thank-you for trusting us, you’ll receive a gallery showcasing your pup’s most beautiful angles, expressions, and charm! A hotel stay plus a photoshoot for your dog? YES, PLEASE! :)
