Idyllwild Canine Mountain Frontier

I am a full time resident of Idyllwild with a 1/4 acre fenced backyard and access through our property to the Ernie Maxwell Scenic Trail. Some visitors to Idyllwild don't bring their canine companions on vacation to the area because they are unfamiliar with the wildlife and rural mountain surroundings. I offer a safe alternative to leaving beloved pets at home, crated or alone in a motel or cabin while visiting the area. We have access to a fenced 2.5 acre private estate (a.k.a. doggie playground) in which we let our canine guests romp with my girl Beezie, and her pup Nella! Car rides, creek walks, walkabouts in town and on the Scenic Trail are options for daily activities. I will customize the visit to meet your requests. A prior Meet-n-Greet play date assures a positive doggie vacay for all of the pups. Only one canine family at a time is hosted. You are assured that your best friend is getting abundant attention and joyful exercise. We can't wait to welcome you to the mountain!

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, due to my eldest hounds vulnerability, I am not hosting Rover guests in my home. However, I will be reinstating the boarding/daycare option in the future. I will care for your beloved animals with the same consideration. Thank you.

Julie was wonderful! She took time to get to know us and our routine in advance, and was genuinely loving to my dog Lily. She updated me while I was away which was great. When I got back she had washed the sheets knowing I had recently moved and might not have a clean set in the cupboard, had left me some helpful informational notes and even left me some beautiful flowers! What a gem, so glad to have found her!

I find 4 legged creatures to be the best company and enjoy interspecies relationships. Always honest and real... The more people I meet, the more I love all hounds and felines! Even the persnickety ones.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Julie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
All creatures - hounds/felines have their personal preferences too... A complimentary Meet-n-Greet play date occurring before the actual booking is ideal. This applies particularly to bully, working breeds and dominant canine and persnickety feline personalities.
