Hi, I'm Mary, dog mom, lifelong animal lover, and founder of Dear Winnie Canine Social Club in Lake Charles. Before opening Dear Winnie, I was one of Rover's top-rated sitters in Los Angeles, where I cared for countless dogs, including a few celebrity pups. When my husband Patrick and I relocated to Lake Charles in 2023, I brought my Rover services with me and quickly realized there was an opportunity to create something different for local dog parents. That experience led to the creation of Dear Winnie Canine Social Club, a thoughtfully designed, kennel-free boarding and daycare space built around comfort, calm, and personalized care. Today, your dog will enjoy the same level of attention and love that made my Rover services so popular, but now in a dedicated commercial facility designed specifically for dogs. Why Dogs Love Dear Winnie 🏠 A home-like environment Our space was intentionally designed to feel more like a living room than a traditional boarding facility. 🛋️ Kennel-free philosophy We focus on small groups, comfortable lounges, couches, cozy beds, and individualized care. 🐾 Experienced care Years of Rover experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. 🧼 Clean and sanitary Fresh water daily, sanitized toys and bowls, and a commitment to maintaining a spotless environment. ❤️ Personalized attention We get to know every dog personally and tailor their experience to their temperament and needs. A Little About Me My dogs, Winnie, Betty, and Dorothy are my world. They inspired everything we've built at Dear Winnie. I've spent years caring for dogs both professionally and personally, and I believe boarding should feel safe, comfortable, and enriching. Whether your dog is outgoing and social or prefers a quieter environment, we're committed to making them feel right at home. Services 🐾 Daycare Perfect for workdays, errands, socialization, or simply burning off some energy. 🌙 Overnight Boarding A comfortable overnight experience with plenty of attention, structured play, and cozy sleeping arrangements. 🐾 Human companionship around the clock Dogs are never left alone overnight. A dedicated human companion is always on-site, providing comfort, supervision, and peace of mind. Whether it's bedtime, an early morning potty break, or a little extra reassurance, someone is always there. ### A Note for Fellow Dog Parents Whether you book with me or someone else, I always recommend scheduling a meet and greet first. It's the best way to see the environment, ask questions, and make sure it's the right fit for your dog. As a dog parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your pup behind. That's why every decision we've made at Dear Winnie has been centered around creating the kind of place I would want for my own dogs. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!
