Safe, loving home away from home.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Natalie & I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 8 years. I have 3 children: My oldest two are grown and my youngest child is in 9th grade. We live in a 3-level townhome with a partially fenced yard that backs up to woods. Our dog George is a 1 year old sweetie who loves having other dogs come to visit and is friendly with everyone. 🐾We LOVE having dogs come to stay. As long as yours is friendly, plays well with other dogs & is fully potty trained they are welcome in our home. I keep my business small and typically only have one to three dogs in our home at a time. 🐾 Please bring your sweetie freshly bathed & brushed before coming to visit. If you don’t have time to squeeze in a bath/grooming beforehand, no worries, I offer bathing services as well & I’m happy to help out! You can find that fee in the section with all of my rates for service. Should your sweetie require medication I have experience and am comfortable administering medications. Please bring any prescriptions clearly marked with instructions. With plenty of exercise, play time and TLC your dog is sure to feel extra special while they’re here & will leave our home happy and all tuckered out. Caring for your dog involves our whole family and we include them in our routine as if they are ours while they’re here with us. I am in school part time during the year but rest assured your dog won’t be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. As previously mentioned we have a partially fenced in back yard. All dogs are walked on a leash for potty breaks and never left outside unattended.

This was Piper’s first time boarding with Natalie but was right at home the minute we walked in. Natalie and family provided a caring and comfortable environment and treated Piper like she was their own. Natalie sent photos and updates every day. Very easy and flexible to work with. So glad we found her! Will definitely use her services again.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP TIMES: I am very flexible with drop off times and will work with you to find the time you need, as long as we coordinate in advance. NORMAL PICK-UP TIME: Pick-up time is anytime between 9am and 12pm on the final day of care (again, scheduled in advance). If you'd like to pick up late in the day or evening, it’s no problem at all - we can add on a daycare stay so you can relax and then pick your dog up as late as 8pm. DAYCARE HOURS: Typical hours for doggie daycare fall between the hours of 7:30am-6pm. I'm happy to transport your dog to/from daycare for an additional fee that starts at $5 and goes up depending on your location. CURRENT SHOTS AND FLEA/TICK TREATMENT: In order to keep everyone safe, all dogs staying in my home need to be current on vaccinations as well as be on preventative flee/tick medication through spring, summer & fall. Our yard is treated for flees and ticks to minimize those pesky buggers as much as possible! All breeds and sizes of dogs are welcome in our home! Again, I just require that they be 100% potty trained, freshly bathed & go outside to do their business. ( No potty pad trained dogs please!)

A typical day

While your dog is in my care he/she will get plenty of exercise and play time. There are nice open fields nearby for playing catch and miles of walking paths. We are an active family & enjoy being outside. When staying in our home your dog is a part of our family. We take frequent potty breaks depending on the weather and have plenty of toys in all different shapes & sizes. During their stay I’m happy to provide updates with pictures in order to keep you & your sweetie connected while you’re away.
