Green Heart: A home away from home!

Pet care experience

At Green Heart Lands, your furry friend will receive the utmost care and attention from a dedicated husband and wife team, Mario and Sharee. Your pup will enjoy various playtime activities such as fetch and chase, and will also have the opportunity to forge lasting relationships with other dogs. Rest assured that your pet will receive the love and comfort they deserve while in our care. For the boarders who stay longer than a week (and if they can), we offer a vigorous exploration of our farm during a late afternoon or early evening walk. The emotional reward that comes from caring for dogs and educating the public about the fantastic creatures that they are is our top goal. Our facility prioritizes a hygienic and well-maintained living space for the dogs. We closely monitor and document their dietary intake, physical wellness, and behavioral patterns, examine animals for signs of illness or injury, feed and supply fresh, clean water to the dogs, maintain clean equipment and living spaces for the dogs, and provide lots of room for exercise! Among other amenities, we provide our pups with filtered water and high-quality freeze-dried treats. Inside our dog resting room, they can enjoy vaulted ceilings with big windows for adequate ventilation, fabulous floors, and extra bedding/pillows on the bed stand for the overnighters (although advisable to bring your own to introduce familiar smells.) Before their stay, we require the pups to have their fIt is imperative that you maintain the currency of your medication and vaccinations.

Our dog came back happy! Great communication during the stay and it seems like an excellent space for a dog to enjoy a vacation.

This was the first time boarding with this family and was very happy with the quality of care my dog received! At the end of a week boarding, it was obvious that my dog had been well taken care of by a responsible and caring family. Would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Our 2 boys seemed to have had a great stay. We received updates daily and were sent pictures. We will be re-booking again in the future.

Sharee, Mario, and Sharee's daughter Anneliese do a great job caring for the pups in their care. We were grateful they began offering boarding services, since we had been seeking someone we trusted to leave our dogs with when we go out of town. We got both our poodles from them in 2021 and 2022 so we already knew they were knowledgable and competent caretakers, and our dogs were excited to be back on the farm they started their lives on! There's loads of room to run around and play, and lots of exciting smells to be explored. We absolutely recommend them.
