What to Expect

During our walks, your pet can experience a positive time and get great exercise.  In the end, he or she will be calm, relaxed, and happy. Remember, a tired dog is a happy dog!

Your furry friend will also be given treats and fresh water. If brushing is needed, that will be included as well. After each walk, we will leave notes to let you know how your dog enjoyed his or her time outside.

Mid-day walk, feeding/re-freshed water, playtime and poop duty.  We will also bring in the mail, pull curtains down/up, and turn lights on for the evening to make your home look inhabited.


If you would also like your dog to enjoy a park visit:  There will be a $35 per hour charge.

(This is great for keeping dogs socialized)



If you have a small or medium sized dog, you may consider boarding your furry friend at our founder’s home. Her goal is to treat your pet as she treats her own dog. Thus, you can rest assured that your animal companion will have his/her own environment and get plenty of one-on-one attention.


Food is the only thing you have to provide for your dog. Ellen will take care of play time, dog walks, and cuddle time with your best friend.

  • An overnight stay does not mean a 24-hour stay in your home. Special fees apply if 24-hour attendance is needed.
  • We can discuss your requirements during our free initial consultation.
  • This way, we can ensure that we will deliver optimum care for your pet and meet your expectations.

Puppy Packages

Puppies need extra attention, love, and understanding. Ultimately, a well-trained pup is a happy pup. If you’ve consulted your trainer and found that your fur baby has passed basic obedience commands, let's work to keep those commands consistent.

Customized Rates

Visits are according to your specifications. Rates you will be charged depend on the time spent during each visit.


Depending on your location, we can stay in your home with your pet from 6:00 PM – 8:00 AM. The time allotment will include two 60-minute walks and a thorough brushing.


If you do not want to take advantage of overnight stays, we can visit your pet twice daily. Food and exercise, as well as play time, will be provided.


*If you do not require us for overnight attendance. please let us know where your pet sleeps (e.g: crate, indoors, garage, etc.)
