Nutritional Nugget 🍏🦴🫗🐾

Though some dogs can regulate their food intake well, it is still recommended to create the expectation of mealtimes. Set mealtimes make it easier if another pet is added to your family at some point in the future.

If you have only one dog, and no plans for more, you can allow your dog to graze by measuring out the food portion each day and then recording anything left over at the end of the day. If you ever do need to transition your grazing dog to meal feeding, you can measure out the entire day's portion of food in the morning and offer the bowl several times throughout the day. Choose regular times to create a routine. The important thing is to use a measured portion for the day, either with a measuring cup or a kitchen scale.

This is something we practice with multiple dogs on site so the grazer has access to their food and the other dogs don't upset their tummies getting into new food.

We have plenty of couches and cozy places to hang out!🐾

We have room for 4 dogs a day in some combination of day visits and longer stays. 💗🐾
Your dog must be at least a year old, altered and proof of vaccinations and treatments must be submitted and kept up to date. We do have some breed restrictions in our insurance policy.
In return your dog will be walked at least 2x a day along with as many bio breaks as they would like.
Lots of stimulating toys, Dog tv on those not so great days, 40 foot deck with no escape for outdoor stimulus in all seasons.
We allow your pup to be on the furniture and if you sleep with them, they get lots of bedtime snuggles in the guest room. We also can provide crates if that is your dogs comfort.
Your dog will come to feel like this is their home away from home and will be excited when you turn up on our street to drop them off. This is my favourite thing to hear from our return clients.
They will be just as excited to see you on pick up. Warning pick ups can be loud if there are a few guests on site. They like to see who is at the door.
Contact us for a meet and greet! 🐾💗
We still have a few spots left open for booking Winter 2026. 📲
