Dog Boarding Excelsior

“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”

“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”

“Jana was so great with our energetic viszla, we appreciate how our dog was able to play and run outside within the fence and with her dog. Jana was so helpful to say yes to our last minute request so we could attend a funeral-thank you!! Highly recommend :)”

“Stacey did an amazing job taking care of our beloved dog, Lady. We were initially nervous about leaving Lady with someone new, but Stacey quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Stacey provided regular updates and even sent us adorable pictures of Lady, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was in good hands. It was evident that Stacey went above and beyond to ensure Lady's comfort and happiness while we were away. Stacey followed our instructions diligently, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and administering any necessary medications. Lady seemed incredibly content and well-cared for when we returned home, and we could tell she had formed a bond with Stacey. Not only did Stacey take care of Lady's basic needs, but she also provided her with extra attention and affection. She took the time to play with Lady and give her the exercise she needed, which was fantastic. We highly recommend Stacey as a pet sitter. Her dedication, reliability, and love for animals truly set her apart. It's such a relief to know we have someone like Stacey to trust with our furry family member when we're away. Thank you, Stacey, for taking such great care of Lady!”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”

“Cassandra was very accommodating, and communication was great while Lambo was in her family’s care. We received pictures and updates during his stay, and he came home happy. This was our second time using Cassandra & Eric and we will definitely reach out to them again.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! William took such amazing care of our pup—he slept soundly, got plenty of walks, and was treated like family. William was incredibly thoughtful, even sending him home with a sweet gift bag, a magnet with his picture, and a heartfelt card. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such loving and attentive hands. Highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own. Thank you so much!”

“Brenna was a great communicator and our Frenchie appeared very comfortable at her house. We enjoyed our vacation more knowing he was being cared for in a dog loving home, instead of at a kennel. Thank you Brenna!”

Nicole V.

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”
