Certified dog trainer & dog lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I'm a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates”: Holiday Price Boarding $56/night Day Care $43 Drop In/Walk $30 Puppy Price Boarding $56/night Day Care $43 Drop In $27 **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.**

Safety, trust & environment

We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services on Fridays, & Saturdays only: Dog bath: $10 under 25 lbs and $15 for dogs 25-40 lbs Nail grind (small-med dogs): $10 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10
