Reviews
Catherine provides an exceptional doggy daycare service! She is incredibly responsive, always sending me pictures and updates, which shows how much she truly cares about the dogs. Her play area is both beautiful and secure, providing a safe environment for my small bichon frise. Catherine's focus on small dogs gives me peace of mind, and I trust her completely with my furry baby. She definitely makes the shortlist of people I trust with my dog!
Catherine was lovely and made my two furbabies feel right at home. This was their first visit and it won't be their last.
Catherine was so warm and welcoming. Super nice lady who sent of pics and kept my Teddy safe and happy.
Catherine was great. Our little guy had a great day! Would highly recommend her.

Home
Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet
** Has your dog been boarded before? Does he/she get along with other small dogs? ** Does your dog show signs of stress or anxiety when away from you? ** How is your dog's potty training? Will your dog pee/poop in the house? ** Has your dog ever chewed on, eaten or marked on anything they shouldn't? ** Has your dog ever been in scuffle with another dog? Specializing in small dogs, so no large or aggressive breeds, high prey or high-energy dogs - even if they are just puppies.
A typical day
Dogs have free reign on the main floor, with lots of dog-safe toys to play with, dog beds and couches to rest on, in air-conditioned or heated comfort. We go outside to play at least every couple of hours, or as needed. We stay outside as long as the dogs are happy to be out there. Check out my doggie play area!! (Picture above) Dogs love running around my beautiful quarter acre backyard (herbicide & pesticide-free), totally fenced in and lots of shade, mature trees to check out, bushes to hide behind, squirrels and balls to chase - leash-free! Regular meal and treat times (dogs are fed in separate rooms to prevent bowl-sharing), with access to plenty of filtered water to drink whenever they need. In the evenings, the dogs usually cuddle with me on the couch, or curl up in a dog bed, while we watch TV. At night, the dogs sleep in my bedroom, wherever they are happiest - on the bed, in their dog bed, or in their crate.
