Medication & recovery care

Dog boarding for dogs on medication & recovering from surgery

The care kennels won't take on and casual sitters can't manage. If your dog needs medication, is recovering from an operation, or simply needs a gentle, experienced hand, Ellen boards them right in her Oro-Medonte home and looks after them like one of her own.

Care most sitters can't offer

Medications, on schedule

Tablets, drops, injections you've shown her how to give — Ellen keeps to the exact timing your vet set, every dose logged.

Post-surgery recovery

Calm, low-key routines, help with cones and harnesses, restricted activity when that's the order, and a close eye on incisions.

Anxious & senior dogs

A quiet home with two gentle resident dogs — not a loud kennel run. Ideal for dogs who find boarding stressful.

Updates that reassure

Photos and notes through the stay so you can see your dog is eating, resting and healing while you're away.

How it works

Every recovery stay starts with a free Meet & Greet. Bring your dog's medication, your vet's instructions, and anything that helps them settle. Ellen will walk through the routine with you, agree the schedule, and confirm she's comfortable with everything before the stay — so you leave with genuine peace of mind.

Check availability

Can Ellen take your dog?

Just one detail to start — no sign-up, and nothing is charged.

Not sure if Ellen can help?

Just ask. Tell her what your dog needs and she'll be honest about whether she's the right fit — and if she isn't, she'll try to point you somewhere that is.
