Highlights
Pet care experience
We'll care for your dog like you do
Dogs have been an important part of our family over the last 40 years. Our current duo of dogs consists of our matron Elise age 9 and Bella who is 2 and in her pup teens. almost 2 years ago we lost our elder Sammy who had been ill for several years so I am accustomed to caring for senior dogs with ailments. Since entering the business I have provided 24 hour care in our dog centric pup room but am now transitioning what I do mainly to home visits as well as providing walks. I am experienced in working with dogs to learning new commands from multiple training courses I have participated in along with our two dogs, I will happily welcome gentle and friendly dogs up to 60 pounds. My services are reserved for breeds traditionally known for calm and sociable behavior.

Schedule
I am retired and dogs are my avocation. While others golf or travel, I am home the majority of time hanging out with my family which includes our two pups.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our mostly grass backyard is surrounded by a block wall as well as a pool fence surrounding our pool. Our pup den is dog-centric including the furniture and is dog proof which is uniquely different from in-residence boarding. The only external exit from this space leads into the backyard enclosure. My primary focus is to ensure the pup's routine is unchanged from when they are with their pup parents. Schedules and routines are strictly adhered to from feeding to walks and sleep time. Mental as well as physical exercise is stressed. Treat loaded puzzles to solve and hoop jumping are just a few examples. Finally special dietary needs are strictly observed including types of treats.

A typical day
Every day includes at least two 30 minute walks. In addition I have three levels of treat fueled puzzles that dogs love to solve along with old favorites like the shell game and hide and seek. And with a large backyard, games of fetch are always an easy go to for burning off extra energy along with hoop jumping. Outdoor time is maximized during the cool season while during the hot time in the year our pup room becomes the center of activity.
