About Us

Our family brings an interesting mix to our business.

We evaluate each dog for compatibility in play groups so that playtime is a safe time for your dog.  

Astrid provides an extra gentle touch when it comes to caring for all of our 4-legged guests. She makes sure that even the smallest dogs feel comfortable. No matter how scared they may be at first, Astrid will give them the extra special attention they need to feel at home.

   Mike is the one in charge when we are away. Mike has been part of the Dogwood Family since 2015 and a friend before that. Mike is able to handle the work and responsibilities of 3 people, all while providing the sensitive and patient care you expect when you leave your dog at our farm.  

   Not only have we been caring for and grooming dogs for over 20 years, but Wendy and Stuart are also professional nurse practitioners. Our health care backgrounds bring an added touch of awareness about your pet's health as well as the ability to easily care for any special needs your dog might have. Please let us know in advance if your pet has any special health care needs.                   

   We welcome the opportunity to care of your dog and make him or her feel like part of our family.
