“Cassie, Ben and their family take excellent care of my girl Berkley! I love that she fits in so well with their family, and I know that she will be well cared for and loved while I'm gone.”

“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”

“I can't leave a more positive review of my experience with Olga. She was very prompt in responding to my inquiry and is clearly a kind person that sincerely cares a lot about animals. My dog Rocco obviously enjoyed his time with Olga. She sent updates during his stay along with photos of Rocco playing in their very spacious fenced yard. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Olga for your pet needs.”

“My Mushu is always happy to stay with Griffin and Gloria. They take such good care for my dog and always send us updates on how she's doing. They were gracious and flexible over an earlier drop-off time because my time to leave town for a conference got moved to earlier in the day. As always, thank you for treating Mushu like family!”

Ana Paula M.

About: After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: ​I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. ​Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. ​The Boutique Environment: ​Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: ​A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. ​Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. ​Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: ​My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. ​My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. ​Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: ​Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. ​The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. ​Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) ​Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.

“Ryan was great with our cat, sent images throughout the whole stay and made sure to inform us if there was any shift in the cats behavior. Our cat even got to be around other dogs which was awesome! Will board with him again”

“Brenda was great!! She was very nice and caring and made Dugan feel right at home. She texted a picture soon after we dropped him off to let us know he was settling right in. She also sent us another picture the next day of him cuddled up on the couch with her pug asleep. She said she let him sleep with her in bed at night. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times to make it convenient for us. We have found a great sitter with no worries. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter that makes your pet's stay away from home comforting and stress free. 5 stars!!”
