Highlights
Pet care experience
The Doodle Pad & Frenchie Riviera
My partner Derek and I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes. Sid the Kid is our blind 10 lb Havanese. We have known, loved, and cared for her going on 19 years. She is remarkably healthy, very mellow, friendly with all dogs and loves to go for rides in her Radio Flyer wagon. Last year we lost Camus and Chloe within six months of each other. They were both 17 when they passed. Through caring for them— we learned how to give injections, medications and tend to their special dietary needs.

My two pups always love staying with Yvette and Derek- they are great with communication and take the best care of our dogs.
Yvette and Derek always do a great job caring for Reese! I love their updates, and I know he's in good hands. I love knowing he's able to enjoy himself and be social with other dogs as well! :)
We always enjoy sending Reese for a stay with Yvette and Derek. Love the updates and especially the photos and video. They do a great job of caring well for Reese, and he loves being social with other pups in their care. Thanks!

Schedule
Derek and I both work from home. I have a part-time work schedule which allows for plenty of time to play with your pup(s)! If you have a pet who needs frequent outdoor breaks, we can easily accommodate their schedule. And, I can keep an eye on pets who need/want a bit more attention and affection. If your pup has separation anxiety, we're happy to adjust our schedules if they need a constant companion during their stay. We are available for boarding and doggy daycare seven days a week. We also welcome and love pets that need to stay with us for an extended period of time. We recently watched a Goldendoodle named Vivi for almost six weeks and she is like family to us now.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our backyard has a 5' fence with a locking gate, a flagstone patio and a vine covered pergola for dogs who like to spend time lounging outside. A baby gate between the living room and entryway prevents pups from slipping out unleashed. We also have a baby gate between the dining room and kitchen. This allows us to feed pups separately to avoid possible conflict. We are responsible, organized, detail-oriented. We have good communication skills. It is important to us that you and your pup have a great experience during your dog's stay with us. We love meet & greets as they allow us to understand your pet's needs and know we will be a great fit together. Because our dog is a blind senior citizen, we are unfortunately unable to take dogs that are aggressive. We love her and the dogs that stay with us and our aim is to provide a safe environment for all dogs in our care. We want everyone to get along, feel at ease and have a great time with us while they are away from you. Unfortunately, we are unable to care for American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull mixes until mid January 2025. We have a frequent visiting pup who had an incident with this breed and has developed a phobia. Please let us know if your pet prefers a low-key environment. We are happy to limit the number of bookings, provided we don't already have someone else on the calendar at the time of your booking. We value honesty and transparency, and will always let you know who will be staying with us during your dog's stay.
A typical day
Derek and I go for long daily walks and like to hike. If your pet loves to exercise, we'd love their company. We'll check out all the new smells in the neighborhood and explore the big park near our house. We hope to hear from you soon.
