Active Dog Lover!

*Dogs must be Crate Trained for Boarding* *Dogs must get along well with other dogs* *Meet & Greet required for new clients* *Cannot accommodate last minute requests for new first time clients, as this does not give adequate time for a Meet & Greet* ***PICK-UPS/DROP-OFFS*** *Hours: 8:00 AM-8:00 PM* *I ask that you please make pick-ups and drop-offs as quick as possible. Because I board multiple dogs at a time as well as having my own dog, pick-ups/drop-offs can become very high-energy, chaotic and stressful. To keep things as calm as possible I ask that you make pick-ups/drop-offs relatively quick and seamless. Thank you!* I cared for Dogs professionally for over a year at Cubby's Canine Castle (dog daycare/kennel) in Blue Bell, PA. While working there I cared for large play yards of 30 plus dogs. I learned dog behavior and the best way to care for different kinds of breeds. In December 2023 I adopted a 3 year old Basset Hound mix named Trent. One of my top priorities is giving Trent a good life and making sure he's happy. For the past 10 years I have watched dogs for my friends and family. I've taken care of my brother's new puppy and my sister's senior dog with dementia and other health issues. I've boarded a good friend's dog for about 6 weeks after the dog was injured in a car accident and my friend was unable to care for him. Happy to report that dog made a full a recovery. I love all dogs and jump at the opportunity to care for them.

We were very happy with Mike! We were sent updates once or twice each day and felt confident, knowing that Flynn was being taken care of and having fun! Would definitely book with Mike again. Thank you!

Mike was great with Maverick! Mike settled all our nerves about leaving Maverick during the meet-n-greet and then during Maverick’s stay, Mike sent daily updates with cute photos. Maverick was in great spirits when we picked him up. We will definitely have Maverick stay with Mike and his sweet pack soon!

Mike always takes great care of Willet while we are away. He updates me with pictures of him having fun with the other pups and he always comes home happy and tired.

Mike is the best! Chief is always happy to go stay at Mike’s house. He is well taken care of and communication with Mike is outstanding. He is so quick to responds and always sends pics of my happy pup!

We’ve been taking our dog to Mike for the last 2 years and still consider ourselves so lucky to have found him. Our anxious dog does so well with him and Trent.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a single-family home in a quiet suburb with a big backyard. My yard has a fenced-in area for the dogs to run and play. No kids. My dog Trent is an easy-going medium sized basset hound mix. He's very calm and sweet and gets along with everyone.

Pets

Tell me about your pup! All dogs have their own personality and it's good to know their temperament. What do they like/dislike? Are they food motivated? House and crate trained? How are they around other dogs? Any and all info is helpful to provide a pleasant experience for your pup.
