Dog Boarding Mid-Hillside

“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”

“Great host, super easy to work with, very friendly dog of their own. Our dog is home and happy and tired probably wishing she was still there playing with Charlie and getting great walks.”

About: I am a substitute teacher (gone 7:15am-2:45pm Monday-Friday) living on Hillside with my military hubby and two puppers, Oscar and Juniper. Oscar is a 11yr old, 55lb mutt (lab/border collie) and is a thriving, darling gentleman. Juniper is 2yrs old, a Goose Bay special rescue/mutt (55ish lbs as well but taller and lankier than Oscar). They are very well behaved and love company. Our big fenced in backyard allows for oodles of fresh air and freedom to run! They run off leash during hikes and walks, and we would prefer our guest puppers to be able to do so as well. We provide a structured, loving, healthy environment. Your pup, is our pup-part of the family, held to the same basic standards and spoiled with attention, belly and ear scratches, and couch cuddles. Breakfast and potty is usually 6:30/7am, and another potty run 7:30am by Paul (my hubby) before he goes to work. I am usually home at 2:45pm and let them out in the backyard. During the winter, I then head off for a 5km walk on the trails so we can wrap up by dark. If temperatures, weather, or errands alter that, we have reflective/glow collars and walk around our quiet neighbourhood. Supper is 5pm. Pups go in/out as needed (we have a bell on the door they jingle). We typically go to bed 10-11pm, and do a tactical potty run at that time. Walking: Walks are typically 5+km, on trails, off leash preferred since my dogs roam free. I drive a wilderness Subaru Outback so lots of trunk space for 3 med/large dogs or I can drop the seat backs as needed if I need to swing by for your pooch. I do not tolerate unsafe/bad/aggressive behaviour. I follow your directions as I trust you to know what your pet needs and take that seriously. For stays at my place, I have a large house with covered couches, 4 massive dog beds, fenced in backyard, large communal water bowl, two easygoing, friendly puppers, toys galore.

“Katie is amazing with dogs. My dog always have a good time with Katie. Highly recommended if you are looking for someone that truly cares about your dog!”

I've also cared for older cats and dogs, and nursed a sick pup back to health with lots of patience and TLC. I know how to stick to feeding schedules give meds if needed and make every pet feel safe calm, and loved like they’re my own I’m on the road a lot so I’m flexible and reliable and always nearby when ur pet needs me whether it’s a quick drop by a daily walk or overnight care I stick to ur pets routine and make sure they feel safe calm and loved like my own Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I provide constant supervision and attentive care at all times. When I need to briefly step away, all dogs are securely kenneled in my home for their own safety and comfort, ensuring a calm, safe, and controlled environment until I return. You can have peace of mind knowing your pup is always watched over and cared for.

About: I've been a dedicated pet caregiver for 5 years, including 2 years caring for a senior dog in North Carolina - managing medication schedules and gentle exercise routines - plus ongoing care for my own cat at home. I also have experience training puppies on basic commands like sit, stay, and come, using positive reinforcement. I'm committed to attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. Im flexible for now You can calls or text to fit a schedule also i can do overnight if you need . Please let me know :) As a pet caregiver, I offer both in-home pet care services for my clients' pets as well as care for my own pets at home. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure that they have plenty of food and fresh water, clean litter boxes (if applicable), and comfortable bedding. I also provide daily playtime and exercise, as well as regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. When providing care in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any other special needs their pets may have. I make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection to make the pets feel comfortable and happy in their own environment.

About: I've had pets my whole life! Mostly rescues, always with their own quirks and needs, and I've learned a lot along the way about helping them settle into a new space and feel safe. Being a therapist, I'm tuned in to the little cues animals give off, so I tend to pick up on what a nervous or shy pet needs before they even show it. I'm the auntie to many of my friends furry babies. I also love getting creative with how I engage with animals. I make my own enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated. At home, I've got a Shetland Sheepdog who's an absolute angel- my adventure buddy. Your pup will be in great company. My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our day. That means your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I can offer regular breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, and I'm nearby if anything comes up. It also makes scheduling easy. Because my partner and I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention and company throughout the day. My home is a safe, comfortable space where pets can settle in and relax. I stick closely to your pet's usual routine so things feel as familiar as possible while they're with me. We have a small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play, plus a secure balcony pets have easy access to for fresh air throughout the day.

“Erica has been amazing! I live in a village and had to send my pup to anchorage after she got hurt. It turns out she broke her hip and needed surgery. Erica boarded her right after the surgery and even picked her up from the vet. She also caught a wound on the tail that required the tail to be amputated. She took her back and forth to the vet for me since I could not be there to do it. Her family has been so good to my baby! They treat her like her own. I get plenty of updates and know that she is loved and in good hands! I am so thankful and would recommend Erica 1000%. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have a love and compassion for all animals. it’s as important to me to treat animals with the same dignity, respect, caring, and compassion as any other living thing on this earth. I have had dogs around me all my life. I have been a pet owner my whole life, so much to the point where lost pets found sanctuary at my home until their owns could locate my home.I Have done experience dog fostering for cats and dogs over the last ten years, as well all information can be proven with supportive pictorial evidence and owner testimony. It would be my honor to provide a safe, healthy and happy investment for the pets and absents of there owners presents. If you have anymore questions please reach out to me. Thank you Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other necessary tasks.

It's all about creating a structured and loving environment for our furry friends! 🐾❤️ My current work full time, I start in the 10pm and I get off at 7am. I don’t have any other obligations.😊 When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment. I provide a cozy space for them to relax, play, and sleep.

“Meghan and her two dogs were a very nice fit for Bijou. Megan gets out a lot and usually btook Bij with her. She was very flexible with my charging travel itinerary, due to weather. I'd definitely use Megan again.”

About: Growing up on a farm instilled a love of animals in me from a young age. I am a true animal lover and prefer the company of animals to many humans ; ) I have experience with most pets from dogs and cats to birds, livestock and horses. I have rescued countless strays, trained many puppies and kittens and the running joke in the family is “if there’s a stray in a five mile radius they end up at Carly’s door”. I work from home so I’m never far whether your pet loves to sit nearby and remain close to me throughout the day or just needs a quiet and restful space, I have them covered. I provide dog beds and cat beds and do my utmost to make your furry friend feel settled in their home away from home. I will soon have a fenced in yard for my cat-friendly dog and four bedrooms for cats if they need a peaceful retreat. I provide fresh, filtered water daily along with meals and of course routine walks/potty breaks/litter box cleaning. If toys are allowed we have plenty to go around!

About: I have taken a vet assistance class and know how to tell if a pet needs help or not. I am good at connecting with animals aswell I love going out and going on adventures, and it would be good opportunities to take the pet out aswell to get fresh air and exercise. I make sure they have their bowls full with water and food, i take them out multiple times and walk around to a dog park near my house.

“Jennifer was amazing with my skittish pup. She has two sweet dogs, one of which is a big, lovable German Shepard who at first made my little pup nervous, but with Jennifer's oversight the two were soon getting along no problem. I came home to a happy dog!”

“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of Beckett and sent frequent updates and photos even when we were out of service! They seemed to have so much fun and tons of play time and exercise! She even went out of her way to make sure that Beckett was safely dropped off at our friend’s house at the end when we weren’t quite home yet, and our electronic door lock was dead and she couldn’t get in. We will definitely plan to use her again!”
