Pet care experience

Your dog's home away from home!

At Hound Dog Hill, our love for dogs runs deep. With years of hands-on experience, we've fostered over 20 dogs for local animal shelters and have always owned multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. From playful puppies, to wise senior dogs and even those with special needs, we've provided them all with the care and attention they deserve. Our 10 acre property offers a perfect environment for dogs to thrive where they can roam freely and enjoy the outdoors in our fenced in yard. Dogs have always been an integral part of our lives, and we are passionate about ensuring every dog feels loved, safe, and happy under our care. Whether it's helping your senior dog find comfort in their golden years, or giving a special needs dog the extra attention they require, we are committed to providing a home-like experience where every dog is treated like family.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 15, 2025

Rangers day of day care at Verlee’s house was to get him comfortable for a boarding we have later in the month. He had such a wonderful day! It’s wonderful for him to have a place he can go with a lot of land and friendly dogs, since we don’t have that at our home. He came home so happy and tired. I was so nervous to hear how he would do, and Verlee was very reassuring and kind! We are looking forward to having him board there this spring!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 03, 2025

Bear had the time of his life and came home exhausted from playing all day with his new doggy friends. Verlee has a beautiful home and a large, safe play area for the doggies. Bear will be going every Wednesday for daycare and he’s already booked in for two weekends in September for boarding. Highly recommend!!

Schedule

Pet care is seamlessly integrated into our daily routine at Hound Dog Hill, ensuring that every dog in our care receives the attention, love, and activities they need to thrive. Here's how it fits into our day: Morning Routine: We start our day by greeting each dog with a warm welcome and a morning stroll around our 10 acres, allowing them to stretch their legs and explore the fresh morning air. Breakfast follows, with meals tailored to each dog’s dietary needs. Midday Activities: Playtime is a big part of our day. We dedicate time for interactive play sessions, whether it’s fetching, tug-of-war, or simply running around with their new friends. For dogs that prefer a quieter pace, we offer plenty of cuddle time and attention. We also take this time for any special care needs, like administering medications or providing extra care for our senior or special needs guests. Afternoon Routine: After lunch, it’s time for some relaxation. Dogs can nap in our cozy indoor spaces or enjoy the shade outdoors. We take individual dogs for more personalized walks or give them some one-on-one time to ensure they feel loved and secure. Evening Routine: As the day winds down, we provide a final round of exercise and play. Dinner is served, and we make sure everyone is comfortable and settled for the evening. Before bed, we have a calm, soothing time, ensuring each dog feels safe and loved as they drift off to sleep. Throughout the day, we maintain a routine that balances activity with rest, ensuring every dog feels at home and part of our family. Pet care isn’t just a job for us—it’s woven into the fabric of our everyday life.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets in our home is all about creating a loving, safe, and comfortable environment where every dog feels like part of the family. Here’s how we do it at Hound Dog Hill: 1. A Home Away from Home We welcome each dog into our home as if they were our own. They’re free to roam, relax, and make themselves comfortable in our living spaces. Whether they want to curl up on the couch, find a cozy corner, or sprawl out on the floor, our home is their home during their stay. 2. Personalized Care We recognize that every dog is unique, so we tailor our care to meet the individual needs of each pet. From specific feeding schedules and dietary requirements to administering medications, we ensure that every detail is attended to. We’re experienced in caring for senior dogs, special needs dogs, and those with particular preferences, so you can trust that your pet is in capable hands. 3. Plenty of Love and Attention Dogs thrive on love and attention, and that’s exactly what they’ll get here. We make sure every dog receives plenty of one-on-one time, whether it’s for cuddles, play, or just companionship. We believe in positive reinforcement and always approach care with patience, kindness, and understanding. 4. Safe and Secure Environment Safety is our top priority. Our home and the surrounding 10 acres are fully secure, ensuring that your dog can explore and enjoy the outdoors without any risk. We supervise all activities and playtimes to keep everyone safe and happy. 5. Routine and Comfort Dogs love routine, and we maintain a structured daily schedule that includes regular meal times, exercise, play, and rest. We also ensure they have comfortable sleeping arrangements, with cozy beds and blankets to help them feel at ease. 6. Socialization and Playtime For dogs that enjoy socializing, there’s plenty of opportunity to interact and play with other friendly dogs. We organize group play sessions that are supervised to ensure everyone is having fun and getting along. For dogs that prefer their own space, we provide them with quiet, individual time to relax and recharge. 7. Open Communication We know how important it is for pet owners to stay connected, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to keep you informed about how your dog is doing. We’re always available to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have.
