Crate & Collar Pet Care

A little favor from my wonderful clients!

If I’ve had the pleasure of caring for your pup, I’d love to hear about your experience! ❤️

I’d like to work on building my Google reviews, and if you have a minute to leave one, I would truly appreciate it. Your reviews and recommendations mean so much to my little business and help other pet parents feel confident trusting me with their pups too!

🚨daycare update🚨

As some of my regulars already know, I’ve been making some changes to daycare schedules and availability. At this time, I will continue not accepting new daycare dogs, and availability for current clients will remain very limited. Some schedules have already changed, and there may be a few more adjustments ahead.

Our little business has grown and changed a lot over the years, and we’re entering another season where things are evolving a little bit. What hasn’t changed is how important it is to me to keep things small, personal, and provide the kind of care your dogs deserve.

I’m incredibly grateful for the families who have trusted me with their dogs over the years, some of you for MANY years. Thank you for sticking with me through every season and every change.

I’ve been a little quiet on here over the summer because I’ve been busy, busy, busy! So I figured it was time for a quick update.

I still have some fall availability and I’m booking for November. If you have Thanksgiving travel coming up, now is a good time to reach out and get your dates on the calendar!

December is filling up FAST! I have very limited availability for the first half of the month.

Christmas/New Year is officially FULL! I’m completely booked December 19th–January 3rd.

January is now open for booking!

As always, I keep the number of dogs I take SMALL *in both size & quantity* so dates can fill up quickly. Just send me a message if you want to check dates or get something booked.

Looking forward to another busy season! 🐾

NEW SERVICE ALERT 🚨

After many requests (and a few very persuasive cats), we are officially introducing…

That’s right. Socialization, enrichment, and structured outdoor adventures… but make it ✨feline✨

Each walk includes:
• Carefully matched cat friend groups
• Luxury harness fittings (fashion + function)
• Optional stroller support for introverts
• Zero tolerance for “I changed my mind halfway through” behavior

Spots are limited — our current group max is 3 cats or 1 cat with strong opinions

DM to reserve your cat’s spot before they book themselves 🐱



April fools 🤣🤪

Marriage is teamwork… especially when the team has 8 paws and a lot of opinions.

🚨 Crate & Collar - Incident Update 🚨

At some point this weekend, approximately 2.5 oz of extra-fine red glitter entered the building and has since declared permanent residency.

We have:
• vacuumed
• mopped
• vacuumed again
• mopped again
• questioned our life choices

Despite our best efforts, the glitter is winning.

So if your dog goes home this week looking slightly ✨festive✨ or like they attended a low-budget craft party… please know we tried.

We promise the dogs are having fun.
The glitter, however, has become management.

Friday the 13th feels like a good day to say this. Even if I waited until the end of the day to post it… just in case.

I really do feel so truly lucky.

My weekly families are the backbone of this business. The consistency, the trust, the way we’ve built a rhythm together over time, that’s what it actually runs on.

The clients who quietly slip me a coffee gift card.
The ones who are flexible when real life and family things pop up. The ones who joke that their dogs might love it here more than home (I’ll happily take that compliment).

The steadiness of this group doesn’t just keep things moving, it allows me to run this intentionally and still be fully present for my own family, too. That balance matters more than I could probably ever articulate.

This was never meant to be high volume or chaotic. It was meant to feel personal. Safe. Steady.

Some of you have truly become like family to us, and that’s not something I take lightly.

So on a day that’s supposed to be “unlucky,” I’m just feeling grateful.

For the trust.
For the relationships.
For this little community we’ve built together.

🤍

POV: you’re a small dog in January and your only job is to be cute and stay warm 🐾

We’ll handle the rest! Routine, enrichment, comfort, and care that feels like home.
