Luxury Dog Boarding & Daycare

Think of this as your dog’s second home: a warm, playful environment with carefully curated social time and plenty of one on one attention! When you choose care with me, you’re choosing peace of mind. I provide elevated, premium care with a balance of enriching play and personalized attention, in a safe environment designed to feel like home. I have a private yard, can provide daily park walks, and have a flexible work from home schedule, keeping your pup happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I’ve been surrounded by dogs since childhood, and caring for them has always been second nature. Over the years, friends, family, and colleagues have trusted me with their pets- from playful puppies to senior dogs and rescues with special needs like allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxiety. My home offers the perfect balance of comfort and play: a private fenced yard with grass for safe potty breaks and outdoor fun, plus easy access to McGolrick Park for dogs who enjoy longer walks and new scenery. My own pup Willow, is very playful and well-socialized, who loves the ongoing company and is excited to be a playmate for visiting pups. To make sure everyone feels comfortable, I always recommend a meet & greet before boarding or daycare.

Alyssa and her pup, Willow, were great with my little guy, Sandy! He's a picky guy, but he loved them both. I got great pics and videos of cute walks and cuddles. He came home happy. Will book again and highly recommend!

We are always so happy to leave Goose with Alyssa and Willow! Alyssa is so accommodating and always sends the cutest photo updates. It gives us peace of mind that he’s with her while we’re away!

Alyssa was so great with Goose! She was super responsive and we loved all the photo updates while we were away. We are also so happy he had a sweet companion/playmate in Willow.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your care instructions carefully, whether that’s maintaining a routine, respecting specific boundaries in your home, or accommodating special needs. My space is always kept dog-proofed and prepared for curious pups. At home, I provide a boutique-style environment: cozy dog beds, crates for pups who prefer a den-like space, and the option for snuggles on the bed if that’s where your dog is happiest. While your pup will enjoy social play, I keep my client list intentionally small so that each dog receives individualized attention and a calm, safe atmosphere. Rates & Booking Info Boarding: $100/night Your pup will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and personalized stay with plenty of attention, social play, and cozy spaces for rest. I limit the number of dogs in care to ensure your dog receives the highest level of individual attention. Doggy Daycare: $75 up to 10 hours | $85 for 10+ hours Daycare is designed for a balanced, engaging day tailored to your dog’s personality — playtime in the private yard, walks to McGolrick Park, and one on one attention as needed. Longer days ensure your pup stays happy, exercised, and comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

A day here is designed to match your dog’s personality. For high-energy pups, that might mean outdoor play in the yard, games of fetch, or a park adventure. For calmer companions, it may be cozy relaxation, enrichment activities, or quiet company by my side while I work from home. Every dog gets a balance of play, attention, and rest, so they return home happy, fulfilled, and relaxed.

To provide the most personalized care, I’d love to know: -Any special needs, medications, or routines your pup has -Their energy level and how they like to spend their day (lots of play vs. more relaxed companionship) -How they do with other dogs, to ensure a good fit with Willow and any other pups in care -Any resource-guarding tendencies (food, toys, space) so I can best prepare for their comfort
