Happy Pawz Small Dog Boarding

Pet care experience

Hi There! **We're back! We have been on a temporary hiatus, but we are back and ready to book your furbabies in for their vacation!*** We have two female bichon frises and know how hard it is to leave a four legged family member with someone else while you're on vacation. That is why we signed up to be hosts on Rover! As soon as your furbaby enters our home, we treat them exactly like our Abby and Annie! We specialize in caring for small dog breeds (dachshund, maltese, bichons, etc). We love all dogs, but in this dog sitting experience we have found our dogs to be most compatible with smaller breeds. We have had experience with older dogs, puppies, giving medication, and giving lots of extra cuddles to those dogs who need it! During your pets vacation, we send lots of pictures and videos so you can rest assured that your furbaby is taken care of well. We do require one meet and greet before your dog actually comes to stay with us to ensure all dogs will be happy and safe. Before every reservation, we ensure the dogs in our care will all be compatible, and we never take more than we can handle because that's not fair to your furbaby. We have a large home and yard that is fully secured and the dogs can play in. We do prefer that your dog is kenneled if we go out or at night. This ensures the safety and a good night sleep for everyone! Our Furbabies Abby is our 11 year old bichon, who is definitely a diva dog! She's very good with all sizes of dogs. Annie is our 5 year old bichon who loves to play and be mischievous! She gets along great with all dogs as well but prefers the smaller dogs. We look forward to meeting you and your furbaby!

We left our dog Charlie with Valerie and Mark while we went to Canmore for the weekend. We were nervous not know how Charlie would react. It didn’t take long to realize that Charlie was being well spoiled and well cared for. We were sent tons of cute pics and videos of Charlie making himself at home. He was treated as though he was one of their own. We will definitely be bringing Charlie back!

When we went to Europe we were very anxious to leave our little fur baby behind with someone else for a whole month. Then we saw Valerie`s profile and we knew right away that this is the right place for our sensitive and playful little Wally. And I can say that Valerie and Mark have exceeded our expectations! We got a lot of updates, pictures and videos which eased our minds so we were able to enjoy our vacation. The only concern we had was, if Wally actually would want to go home with us when we picked him up because he seemed to have a blast every single day at Valerie´s summer camp! We could see on the pictures that Wally was taken care of as well as if he was with us. Valerie and Mark would always be our first choice for Wally, they became kind of his second Family. We can´t thank Valerie and Mark enough!!!!

We recently booked a 4 day stay for our 2 year old Bichon, Mia with Valerie & her husband Mark and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Valerie was in touch with me each day, sending messages and photos about how Mia was doing. On the 4th day when we went to pick Mia up, she was happy to see us but didn't seem to be in any hurry to leave. She seemed happy & very content. Thank you so much Valerie & Mark for welcoming Mia into your lovely home!
