Before each stay, we love learning about your dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so we can make them feel comfortable and at home. It’s helpful to know their feeding schedule, energy level, sleep habits, any training cues they follow, and whether they are crate trained. We also like to understand how they interact with other dogs, children, and new environments so we can make introductions smooth and safe. If your dog has any medical needs, anxieties, or special instructions, we’re happy to accommodate. Our goal is to create a safe, predictable, and loving experience tailored to each dog.

A typical day includes plenty of outdoor time, play, and relaxed family moments. Mornings usually start with time in our large fenced yard where dogs can explore, play, and burn off energy. Throughout the day we mix supervised backyard play, neighborhood walks, and dog-friendly outdoor activities depending on each pup’s energy level. Inside the house, dogs can relax, nap, and be part of our family’s daily routine. With Karen working from home and me home several days a week, there’s always someone around to give attention, playtime, and care. Evenings are usually calm and cozy with plenty of affection and downtime so pups can wind down comfortably. We also trained Miko with multiple tricks so love to stimulate dogs mentally when they are up for the challenge.
