Pet care experience
Doggy camp!
Where Boarding Feels Like a Vacation 🐾🌲 More than dog boarding — it’s an adventure camp designed around your dog. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, my passion for dogs started at a young age, working alongside my family in our dog kennel and grooming business. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routines, and needs. Here, dogs don’t spend their days in traditional kennels. They have their own comfortable dog bedrooms, plenty of space to relax, and the freedom to enjoy their surroundings. Our property sits on 45 private, set-back acres, providing a peaceful and secure environment away from the road. There’s room to explore, run, play, hike, and even swim! 🌲🐕💦 🐾 What Makes Us Different • 45 private acres to explore and enjoy • Safe, set-back property away from the road • Comfortable dog bedrooms instead of traditional kennels • Swimming access for dogs who love the water • Plenty of exercise, outdoor adventures, and playtime • Lots of cuddles, attention, and one-on-one interaction • Experience with high-energy dogs and a variety of breeds • A focus on keeping your dog’s routine, comfort, and happiness at the heart of their stay Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your dog should feel like they’re on their own vacation — not stuck in a kennel. From morning adventures to afternoon swims, playtime, exploring, and plenty of cuddles afterward, every day is built around giving your dog the exercise, enrichment, attention, and love they deserve. Because your dog isn’t just being boarded. They’re coming to camp. 🐾🌲❤️

Ratings and reviews
Althea was wonderful! Our pup came back happy and tired from playing! Picture updates were sent often and it was obvious how loved he was during his visit.
Althea is the most exceptional dog sitter around! My Ollie boy had an excellent time with her and her dogs! She is communicative and accommodating!
Our two guys had a wonderful time with Althea - lots of play outside and fun with other dogs. Althea was super communicative and we got lots of great photos. What a great time at doggy camp!
Althea is consistently there when we need her help with Boo! I always feel calm and confident when I know Althea is with our dog and that makes it possible for us to say yes to important and fun events that take us away from home from time to time.
Althea is our absolute favorite sitter (and our dog's!) Our boy Hugo is always excited to head over there and enjoys the company of other dogs she is boarding/doing daycare for. The daily walk to the lake, the open space to romp, the pictures and updates all make Althea well-worth it. She is SO professional and really works to ensure each dog's comfort.
As always, Althea was helpful, positive and communicative.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
40+ Acres set off the road, along a nice pond and 25ft of fenced in dog area with a dog house if dogs need to be in a fenced area. I usually have my dogs off leash at the house because it’s such a large open space and we are outside most of the time! Will take leashed dogs if preferred** Lots of space inside and outside for dogs to enjoy
Pets
