Availability

Typically, I am available every week from mid-August through mid-December, and from mid-January through mid-June. While my family and I travel frequently during the summer, I am still available on certain days, so please check with me for specific dates. To ensure my home environment is a good fit for your dog, I require a trial session of a few hours for all first-time clients before a boarding stay is scheduled. Please note that I only board two dogs at a time, and I recommend booking at least three days in advance to secure a spot.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is first! Outdoors: My house has a fenced backyard with a large outdoor space for running and playing. I have two friendly dogs that enjoy meeting new friends and keep playtime fun and engaging. My husband and I supervise all outdoor activities. We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood on Saturdays or Sundays. Indoors: I keep all visiting dogs in separate areas with plenty of comfort, clean beds, soothing background music and constant company from family members. Your dog will have a reserved spot within our home. This arrangement allows the dogs to keep each other company, while enjoying their own space with their own water, food, toys, and bed.

Dog lover! Safety and Fun

Pet care experience

As a fellow pet parent, I understand the importance of knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands while you are away. Having grown up with dogs and currently sharing my home with them, I am passionate about understanding canine behavior and treat every guest like a member of the family. Safety is my top priority. I provide a structured environment that fosters both discipline and affection, ensuring your dog receives the appropriate level of activity based on their age and temperament. During their stay, I can also assist with potty training and basic obedience to help them become a more attentive companion. I will keep you updated with regular photos and videos so you can relax and enjoy your trip with peace of mind. I look forward to welcoming your dog into our home.

Ana-Karina and her husband were amazing with Dobby. She sent us videos of him playing and exercising outside. Dobby returned home happy. It was clear that he was well taken care of.
