Pet care experience

Work from home with a large yard

I've been around sled dogs my whole life, have dogs of my own, worked at 2 separate boarding kennels/doggy daycares, as well as volunteered and worked at Animal Allies. I am also a hobby dog photographer I work from home, so pups will have frequent outs in my fully fenced in 0.3 acre yard. All guest pups can be kept 100% separate from my own pooches, if need be. If and when the guest(s) settle enough, we'll do introductions with my dogs one at a time. I work from home, so pups get frequent time outside for play. My yard is fenced and large, plenty of room for fetch and play, with a designated digging area for those diggers. Currently will only take guests from one-two families at a time Guest dogs are first out in the morning, last out at night. Any free time before/after work and during multiple breaks (my job is flexible, so I log off mid day while guests are here for extra long play breaks) are spent running around and playing outside. I have puzzle toys I set up 1-2 times/day during rest time for mental stimulation My yard is fenced in, and any dog that's anxious or scared is put on a very long cable tie out until they've settled in and warmed up to me as an extra precaution. I utilize kennels and gates to be sure any anxious, scared and/or reactive dog has at least 2 barriers between them and any other dog at all times to prevent overstimulation and/or any reactivity. I always start introductions to any of my dogs one at a time, when applicable

This was our first time using Patty. The dogs seemed to love it their. Patty was great answering our questions and could tell the dogs were taken care of while we were there. We will be back for sure.

Patty was very communicative right when I booked her with Murray and asked if he had any needs which I appreciated. I feel like I got less updates and photos than from other sitters, but when I did ask, she was right on it! I felt like my dog was in good hands!

This is the second time Patty has watched our girls and we will continue to use her in the future. She is always very responsive and willing to take them on short notice. She is attentive and the dogs had a great time in her care!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 30, 2026

Patty did great with our puppy for his daycare stay. We were worried because he is a bit anxious/high energy but she handled his visit very well. Will use her again next time we travel to the area :) Thanks for all the pics!

Schedule

I work full time from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs will be able to go out plenty. I try to stick to guests schedule as much as I can, though Nevasca is very adamant on her own schedule, so there's no sleeping in past 6am.

I utilize crates and gates to be able to keep dogs separated if they need to be. My yard is fenced in, and I have a long line that reaches the majority of the yard for those escape artists.

I have a number of toys available to play with, will play fetch, see if they enjoy a flirt pole, do some lite training, I like to put treats around a section of the yard for dogs to sniff out as well.
