Welcome to FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore where you can be absolutely certain that your beloved canine friend will enjoy a vacation with a wonderful Companion Family while you are away! My love of dogs led me to a career as a professional dog trainer, and I was fortunate to meet and work with some amazing dog and people customers. Almost every day I was asked for advice and recommendations for care for their dogs. Many people did not want to put their dogs in a kennel, but they did not have other viable options for care. I saw firsthand dogs that were incredibly stressed from being in a traditional kennel environment and it broke my heart. FlipFlop® is the perfect solution! In fact, my family and I loved the idea so much; we decided to become part-time Companions in the summer of 2011. We really enjoyed having friendly dogs in our home for sleepovers and it was a great way to keep our aging Rottweiler, Shelby, on her toes! After such a positive experience as a FlipFlop® Companion Family and researching the benefits of owning a FlipFlop® franchise, making the decision to purchase FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore was easy. Being Companions ourselves we know that the dogs are taken care of properly and are relaxed and happy when they go home. We also recognize that the experience gives FlipFlop’s® Customers peace of mind knowing their furry family member is spoiled and loved! In spring of 2011, FlipFlop® of the Lakeshore was open for business. As we continue to grow, we are extremely thankful for all the wonderful people and dogs we get to meet. We would love to talk to you more about FlipFlop®. You may not be going on vacation but your dog certainly is!
