Safety, trust & environment

My kennel is attached to my home, with a .25 acre fenced in play area. Safety and sanitation is my top priority! During your pups stay they will receive individual care such as supervised solo play in my fenced in area, a run on my self propelled dog treadmill, unlimited walks, and bark box toys/treats. Depending on size and safety I have 3 different types of kennels including open wire, Ruffland, or 6ft by 5ft steel kennel options. My kennel is also ground level so stairs are not an issue for your senior or limited mobility dogs. I never charge extra for toys, treats, extra playtime or baths! Dogs from the same home may be kenneled together if requested. My kennel is temperature controlled and monitored by Waggle. Daily Picture, video, and weight updates provided for all stays for your peace of mind. All dogs will be kenneled according to their size. *I do NOT provide group play sessions

Information Autumn S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet requires any medications, special care, or has any allergies or treats or toys that are off limits.

A typical day

A typical day for me includes taking each pup out for 30 minutes at a time for walks and playtime. I also have a doggy treadmill for those cold or rainy days! I limit the amount of dogs in my care so you can rest assured your dog won’t be in their kennel for longer than 3 hours at a time. Inside movie days and play are also included if the weather is bad.

Wonderful place for our sweet girl to be. Our pup struggles with anxiety due to a rescue background and Autumn was so patient with her and gave us wonderful daily updates with photos. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience. I clearly told them that Loki is no longer being crated. During an emergency, we booked care because we did not want him left alone—so it was very upsetting to learn he was placed in a kennel/crate in a brand-new environment and became stressed/barked as a 9 months old puppy. If crating is part of the care routine, that should be communicated upfront so owners can make an informed decision, especially for dogs who are not being crated anymore.

Autumn has watched our dog a few times for an extended period, and she has always done a great job!
