What to expect during your pets stay
Leave your dog with me, at their home away from home. When you book your dogs private stay with me, your pet is guaranteed to be be pampered. All guests are allowed on furniture and have secure outside access whenever they please. My home has a very large fenced in backyard and the inside of my home is set up to accommodate dogs comfortably. You will receive updates daily throughout your pets stay so you can see how much fun they are having! I provide pet care that leaves you stress free.
Please consider your dog’s level of socialisation when reserving a spot with us – not all dogs do well in this kind of atmosphere.
• There is no way to know if your dog is going to be fearful or anxious until we see him or her in this environment. It’s possible for dogs that are normally fine at home to become anxious or fearful in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar dogs. We are happy to set up a trial day if you are unsure. If your dog does display a high level of anxiety, we will immediately let you know.
Arrival and pick up times
All pick up and drop off times must be scheduled in advance. Exceptions will be made for clients who are traveling from the airport. I just kindly ask for as much notice as possible. You may extend your pets stay anytime based on availability.
Playtime and sleeping arrangements
To be considered for our dog play group, all dogs must undergo an evaluation and pass certain behavioural tests. This applies to every canine that wants to be considered for the play group regardless of breed and weight. We want to keep everyone as safe as possible. If your dog does display any level of anxiety, the utmost caution will be taken and interaction with other guests will be avoided. I will be sure to spend one on one time with your fur baby and give them adequate playtime and private cuddles.
Even with all the foreknowledge I have and precautions taken, we have to keep in mind one, very important thing: we are dealing with dogs. One of the best things about sending your dogs to me is the fact that they are getting a very high level of socialisation and almost constant playtime. This is precisely the thing that can sometimes result in the unexpected.
• Play among the dogs is very carefully supervised at all times; they are separated by size, and then into play groups.
• My outside yard is fenced and the dogs get plenty of exercise every day.
• The dogs are separated into their own areas at mealtimes and for
sleeping.
Water is available at ALL times. Inside and out.
• Kennels are used for dogs who are crate trained or have history of destructive behaviour due to anxiety. This is for their safety and the safety of all guests. Kennels are not used as punishment. Dogs are den animals, crates help mimic dens and provides safety/security.
• Dogs have the option to sleep kennel free overnight if they’re completely trained – no accidents, no destructive behavior, and the ability to settle down with the other dogs.
• Please bear in mind the fact that dogs do play rough with each other. It’s inevitable that after a few days or weeks of rough-and-tumble play your dog may come home with a few scrapes. This is not from incidents of aggression – this is simply dogs playing together the way dogs do. I will immediately always report to clients if I witness any behaviour changes or injuries in their pet.
Every stay at my home is adapted to fit your pets needs
