We offer a variety of pet care services, giving your dogs the option for a 'home away from home.' Your dogs comfort and protection of our property is priority, so we do ask that we schedule a trial night prior to their first stay if we feel we are a good fit for each other! You will receive frequent updates and photos/videos so you know how your pet is doing during their booking. We only allow one
new household at a time, so that I get to know your pets and I know the behavior of the pets already here when we introduce yours for the first time. Pricing of each service varies by age, temperament, number of pets and special needs required. With two other jobs and being residential, we may be limited on the number of dogs we can have visiting, so we value your understanding if we are unable to help at the time of your request, and sincerely appreciate you checking with us for care. Requirements:
While we do understand the occasional excited ti**le, we require dogs to be fully potty-trained and non-marking if in our home. They do not have to be fixed, but must have a generally neutral personality - we want to keep all of our pets and humans safe, so cannot accommodate dogs with aggressions or extreme anxieties! We also require dogs to be crate trained and used to a crate. I work from home full time, so dogs are free to roam and play to their hearts content. However, we do crate in the pup-room when we leave home and at night time for their safety and protection of our property. As we are in a residential neighborhood, we want to ensure that dogs can relax comfortably and quietly while kenneled.
1. Overnight boarding in our home:
We provide everything they could need besides food, leash and harness. Crates, beds, toys, treats, you name it, we have it! You will not pay extra for later potty breaks- dogs are out of their crates as long as we're awake and as soon as we wake up- playdates, walks or treats. With the nature of my full time job, we are unable to accept dogs that are overly active or vocal on weekdays.
2. Daycare in our home:
I work from home full time in the pup room, so dogs are with me and free to snooze, play, roam, or sunbathe when we are outside to their hearts content. We take frequent potty breaks (at least every 2 hours.) We do not schedule regular daycare, but are happy to help if you have a long day planned! With the nature of my full time job, we are unable to accept dogs that are overly active or vocal. They may still be a good fit for playcare!
3. Playcare in our home:
Playcare is scheduled playdates for 2-4 hours where your pet comes to run out some energy, socialize, and get to know my household in our large fenced in yard. These are not regularly scheduled, however I'll announce on Facebook when we are needing pups for playcare. You are also welcome to follow "Stella Dora Daycare!" for alerts and notifications.
4. Check in visits in YOUR home:
We offer check in visits for your cats, critters, fish, etc. or dogs if they have access to a doggy door. Availability and pricing depends on number and type of pets, location, length of booking, and general availability with other dogs booked. We are unable to accommodate between the times of 8:45AM-5:15PM weekdays.
5. Dog walks:
Availability and pricing depends on number and type of dog, location, length of booking, and general availability with other dogs booked. We are unable to accommodate between the times of 8:45AM-5:15PM weekdays.
6. Housesitting:
We offer overnight housesitting on occasion if you have several pets and it's easier to have someone come to them. Availability and pricing depends on number and type of pets, location, length of booking, and general availability with other dogs booked.
6. Wedding Taxi:
Calling all brides! Depending on location and amount of notice, we offer taxi to and from your wedding, whether it be during your ceremony or photos with your fur-baby. Pets will safely be transported to the venue then to your home or ours for boarding.
7. Bakery:
We offer pet cakes using all natural and clean ingredients. No preservatives, food coloring, etc. Each cake comes with a cookie number. We also do a variety of treats, available by announcement on Facebook.
