10 Acres of Doggy Heaven
Pet care experience
welcome to doggy heaven! 😄 Most of the dogs we board are repeat clients and we have lots of land for them to play on, trails to explore and human's that are home to make sure your furry kids are safe and loved as apart of our family. Me and my husband have had several dogs over the last 2 decades and have been through the puppy phase to the needs of mature dogs. Our family currently includes a male German Shorthaired Pointer and a female Alberta Rescue mix, both 13 years old and are gentle teachers and companions for other dogs. We are familiar with regular medication schedules and other senior pup needs. We are passionate about animal psychology, training, and understand that like humans, not all dogs are extroverts and might have anxiety when their humans have left for vacation. We have enough space indoors and outdoors for seperation as needed to lower stress on dogs that don’t thrive in big group settings. We are not a kennel and our philosophy is to limit the number of dogs we board so we are able to give your pup lots of 1:1 love and attention. They are always supervised and dogs generally love and thrive with acreage life! ☺️ We love what we do and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal in our care to help them thrive.
Reviews
Reina & Justin went above and beyond caring for our two big boys! They are animal lovers true & through and they not only watched/tended to the boys but also provided training sessions to keep their body + minds busy. It made me so happy seeing all of the photos & videos that were shared of all the playtime they were having on their beautiful property. I will 10/10 be recommending Reina & Justin to all of my family and friends! They are such lovely people!
Our dog enjoyed his day with Justin. 4 paws up! :) Knowing that Justin and Reina have experience with behavioural issues made us feel confident about leaving our fear-reactive dog with them. Justin was so patient with our dog. He sent multiple pics and a video, which we really appreciated. It put our minds at ease that our dog was settling in well. Justin & Reina's beautiful acreage (bonus llamas!) is a calming spot that allowed our dog wonderful access to nature. We have no hesitation booking again!
Reina and Justin are the best sitters, no one else I would trust when leaving my pup Amo. They go above and beyond to do specific training with Amo and always keep her busy brain entertained (and send me regular videos to keep my updated on her progress). The socialization aspect is also great, so Amo can make new friends and get tired out with the other dogs they have. For anyone seeking a structured environment for their dog, especially a dog with any special needs when it comes to training, I highly suggest their services!
I highly recommend Reina and Justin as pet sitters. They have many years of experience with pets of all shapes and sizes and are patient and intuitive when it comes to their needs. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my furry friends with them.

Information Reina & Justin H. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your furry friend has any special needs or challenges. Reactivity or aggression (leash, food, toys, etc) and anxiety must be disclosed upfront so we can make sure we are able to provide the safest environments for all the animals in our care.
A typical day
The dogs get at least 2 outdoor play sessions/walks a day, but adjust the amount of activity based on energy level and health. The daily perimeter walks of our property are always fun and jam packed with new things but also well used and safe for the dogs. They might also come out for chores, the shop and other adventures and most dogs quickly become our side kicks out on our hobby llama ranch. We usually spend the evenings to give one on one attention to your pup, be it snuggles or brain games.
Services
Reina & Justin can host
Availability
We both work at home. Justin is a carpenter who works out of the shop over the winter and I am an engineering that works from home other than the occasional business trip. The pups have access to the outdoor anytime they desire. In addition to physical excersize we also provide one on one game time with positive rewards to build confidence and connection.
