Paws In The Pasture Boarding & Play

Do you have a sweet fur baby who wants room to run and sniff and play with other dog friends? I offer kennel free, constant care, in home dog boarding. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer in-home boarding and doggy daycare. I've spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—whether it’s through helping friends and family or volunteering with local shelters. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or special care. Creating a safe, fun, and loving environment is my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—whether we’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and I’m here to provide that for you and your pup. Let's do a meet and greet at a local park here in Kingston.

We recently lost our older mini poodle and our younger one, Rudi, has been showing signs of the loss with increased separation anxiety. Annette understands and gives him the love and attention he needs right now. She is truly a gem!

Annette was the perfect sitter for our pup, we highly recommend her! We left our 6 year old lab with Annette and her friendly pets for 5 days. Annette was thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, super communicative, and her home is a doggy paradise. Our pup had many cozy spots to relax indoors and so much outdoor space to romp with Annette’s dogs. We really appreciate how much time and attention Annette provided our pup, we will certainly be booking with her again in the future!

I loved the daily updates from Annette about how my dog was doing. Luc is generally shy and has separation anxiety. However, he quickly joined Annette’s home pack and appeared to be very happy and engaged in many new and interesting activities. We will be repeat customers, for sure.

Annette is absolutely wonderful! She truly saved me during a last-minute holiday crunch. Dolly is usually cared for by family or stays in our home when we’re away, and Lilly—our newly rescued girl—is very attached to Dolly but hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs yet. So, I was definitely a bit anxious about leaving them for three nights. I’m thrilled to say the experience couldn’t have been more perfect. Annette is a true dog-whisperer, and her sweet dog, Sailor, was the ideal playmate. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for my girls!

Once again, Annette demonstrates that she is attuned to all the emotional and physical needs of my mini poodle. He is an avid ball chaser and an even more determined chewer of inappropriate things but Annette always knows how and when to redirect his attention, with humor and love. I couldn’t ask for a better mom-in- absentia.

Schedule

Dogs are a part of my everyday life and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give each dog my full attention and provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, supervised play in the yard, or quiet companionship indoors, I’m always present and engaged. My days revolve around the dogs in my care—from mealtimes and outdoor fun to afternoon naps and evening routines. On a weekly basis, I maintain a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your pup will always have someone nearby to meet their needs and keep them happy. Puppy Care Experience: Over the past 30 years , I’ve raised many puppies and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to thrive. I use a potty schedule and positive reinforcement to encourage good habits and build trust. For puppies still learning boundaries, I’ve successfully used long lines indoors for gentle guidance. I also have a variety of dog crates available for all dogs who are crate trained, ensuring a safe and familiar environment that supports their routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a quiet property with over an acre of fully fenced, grassy pasture—perfect for running, exploring, and playtime. Whether your dog loves to fetch, sniff around, or just relax in the sun, they’ll have a supervised, safe space to enjoy. Inside, your pup will be treated like family, with cozy spots to rest and plenty of love and attention. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in a caring, secure, and fun environment.
