Pet care experience

Loving dogs doesn’t make this right for everyone but having a passion for dogs and understanding they are part of our family is what drives me. Our furry friends are family members. In my home, while their owners are away they are family. You are already leaving them with a stranger so why change their routine. Let them run in a yard, watch TV on a couch and feel safe. I will always follow what you do at home to provide the same boundaries. We will be your dogs family while you are gone. Let them properly socialize wth supervision and well put together groups... Your furry family members will be in love. I ONLY TAKE CRATE TRAINED DOGS or DOGS NEEDING CRATE TRAINING I will make no exception to the crate rules in my home. We have a schedule that we keep that I can share. There are scheduled rest times and group play and walks. Crates are never punishment and are use to provide structure to the day. All crate dog should enjoy their crates and find it a sense of relaxing and calming place...not a punishment! This is my full time position so they are my day every day! I truly enjoy working with animals and decided after long career in corporate to follow my passion I have 3 pups in my home who are properly socialized. I hand feed all dog to help with basic obedience and to make their minds work.

This was the first time I was leaving my pup (Doug) with anyone for overnight and extended stay. Meredith was fantastic. Prior to the stay, she was very clear and specific about her approach, the environment, and daily schedules. She was very communicative and prompt - answering any and all questions a first time customer like me would have. The stay was great. Doug seemed super happy when I picked him up. I got daily updates with photos. I couldn't have asked for a better first time experience.

Meredith was exactly what I had in mind when I started looking for someone to board with. We were booking last minute for a trip and were very lucky to stumble upon her profile. She responded promptly and we set up a meet and greet and I knew instantly upon meeting her that my dog would be safe. She is attentive and knowledgeable and equally as experienced. We received texts as well as picture updates throughout his stay and it genuinely seemed like he had enjoyed himself when we picked him up. I would absolutely book with Meredith again in the future. The most stress free boarding experience we’ve had to date.

Information Meredith C. would like to know about your pet

I like to have a meet and greet ahead of time but do not require it. I need all information about your pup. This means please be honest about any resource guarding, on-leash behaviors towards others, aggression towards men, women, children. I do not turn away animals with bad behavior and enjoy helping work them through it. However, I need to know for safety ahead of time. If these behaviors are found out while boarding this could be dangerous for your furry friend, mine, and my family.

A typical day

Your dog will have a blast playing in an oversized safe yard along with my furry friend. We have a very set schedule which I am happy to share which is a balance of play and down time but rest assured your furry friend will be tired.
