Buckie pups is a wonderful place and the entire family has all the love to give to your puppies and take care of all their needs during their stay. Super happy to have found Natalie and a happy second home for our pup Bingo (when we need to be away - vacation etc) he has made great pup friends at Natalie’s :) ❤️
My family found Buckie Pups in the fall after many failed attempts to find someone to watch our diabetic elderly dog. I randomly found Buckie Pups through my apartment message boards from someone raving about Natalie. I immediately reached out and was met with one of the kindest, most compassionate humans with a true love for all dogs. She did not hesitate to say she would do whatever our dog needed as long as we did a visit prior (with both our dogs) to be sure they got along with other dogs. We were able to see first hand how Natalie treats her own and our dogs and how incredible of a bond she immediately seemed to make with them both. Since the fall, Natalie has watched them for a long weekend and then for two full weeks while we traveled out of the country for my sisters wedding (which we didn’t think we would be able to attend in order to care for our dog but thanks to Natalie were both able to go) and then a full week in March. I honestly have seen her manage insulin freezing and doing whatever it took to get another while we were gone, upset tummies, and just true care and love for both our dogs. She also sends pictures and provides updates. I can’t even begin to describe how much our dogs love her but the fact that they now get excited for our suitcases to come out instead of freaking out and getting inside them I think says it all. I also think she and her family are just incredible, caring humans. I trust her with both my dogs, even my elderly dog because I know she would do whatever she needs. I never thought I would find anyone that I think truly cares for and loves our dogs like their own family but we did and we are so grateful. It’s truly their home away from home.
After reading so many horror stories about other dog boarding companies I really took my time and did my research when I was recommended Buckies. Natalie and her family were absolutely amazing. The first step was the meet and great which I really loved because we made sure our pup was a good fit and we wanted an outline on what to expect. Everyone was very attentive and asked questions about our pup that I would not have thought to bring up. I had my 6month old Minidoodle stay at Buckie Pups for three nights and four days and it was by far the best decision I made! Natalie was so attentive and sent tons of pictures. Every time I felt myself anxious about leaving my pup behind during the trip I would receive a text and picture update (its like she read my mind)! The one on one attention and walks my pup got on top of all the updates made it clear Buckie Pup was a great decision. It really felt like I was leaving my pup with family over the weekend which was a great feeling. I will be coming back for sure!
Natalie did a great job taking care of our dog. She’s a petite husky and needs lots of playtime and 2 walks, and good space, and she was SO happy at Natalie’s house. When it was too hot, Natalie was careful to put the dogs and pups inside in the AC so they were nice and cool. She has a large backyard and a nice front yard fenced up, so it’s great for the dogs. Natalie was also great at providing up photos and videos regularly while we were away, and the happy pictures of our dog just made us so happy during our trip. I recommend Natalie 100% to anyone who is considering her for pet sitting !
Natalie came and was able to sit one of our dogs last min. Our dog is a very difficult dog that was previously from a shelter and has a hard time adjusting to new environments. We wanted our dog to feel at home and not locked up in a kennel for days. She had lots of fun making new friends!!

A loving home away from home for your furry family members.
