Pet care experience

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* 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.

Mike takes great care of our girl, is easy to work with, and has a great yard for the dogs to hang out in.

Pearl had a great stay with Mike. He has easy to communicate with and made sure all the dogs were comfortable with each other. Pearl seemed happy and relaxed when I picked her up. We will be booking another stay soon!

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.
