Where Dogs Are Family Too!

Welcome to our home! We're a pet-loving family ready to open our hearts to your furry companions. After losing our beloved rescue dog last year to a neurodegenerative disease, we've deeply missed the joy and love that dogs bring. We're now offering dog boarding in our home to share that love with up to two dogs at a time. What We Offer: Compassionate Care: We understand that every dog is unique and will treat your pup like family. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, belly rubs, or playtime, we're here to meet your dog's emotional and health needs. Experienced Support: With experience administering oral, eye, and ear medications, we're comfortable handling your dog's health needs. We'll also work with your feeding schedule to maintain their routine and well-being. Daily Walks & Playtime: Your dog will enjoy regular walks around our neighborhood and plenty of supervised playtime in our fenced yard. Safe Environment: Our yard is securely fenced, providing plenty of room for exploration and play. However, it may not be suitable for dogs prone to escaping, so we'll discuss your pup's habits during our meet-and-greet. Why Choose Us? We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. Our home offers a warm, welcoming environment where your pet will feel loved and cared for while you're away. Whether your dog loves to snuggle, needs a calm and quiet space, or thrives on outdoor adventures, we’ll tailor our care to fit their personality and preferences. Let’s Meet! Before your dog's stay, we’d love to set up a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re the perfect match. This also gives us a chance to learn more about your dog’s routine, likes, dislikes, and any special needs. We’re so excited to welcome your pup into our family for their next adventure! 🐾

Catherine and Nikhit took wonderful care of our almost-2yo pup! They dogsat when it was absurdly hot out and were very conscientious about keeping her from getting overheated or hurting her paws. They followed all of our instructions, including some complicated feeding rules, and played so much with our pup. I can’t recommend them enough.

Catherine and Nikhit did such a great job caring for my two dogs. They were so patient with my pup who can be slow to adjust and has some quirks. I received lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend!

Dempsey was well cared for! We were especially appreciative of their love for older pups.

Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!

Catherine & Nikhit were wonderful with our dog. We did a meet and greet beforehand and they sent plenty of updates. They were attentive and had a great backyard for Benny to play in.

Cat and her family took great care of Fergus! They beautifully and thoughtfully managed his medications, feeding schedule and high energy. Fergus looks forward to a return visit. Thank you!

Schedule

We are a family of three. My husband works from home entirely, and I work from home some days a week, so there will be one or both of us at home almost all the time. That means we have a lot of time to devote to cuddles and play. Here's a glimpse into how we structure pet care: Morning: We start the day with a short morning walk to ensure your pup gets exercise and fresh air, and then breakfast according to your feeding schedule. Daytime: Either some playtime in our fenced yard or a midday walk. Lots of cuddles! Evening: Dinner is served according to your specified feeding schedule, followed by a relaxed walk and cozy downtime. Night: Before bedtime, there's a final chance to go to the bathroom, and then we will ensure your pup feels secure and comfortable, whether in their crate or a cozy spot in a dog bed in our bedroom.

Safety, trust & environment

We establish a connection with your pet through patience and consistency. Whether it’s following their feeding or medication schedule or learning their favorite toys and routines, we ensure they feel at ease and cared for. We care for one pup at a time, or two if they are in the same family. Your pup will enjoy a warm, clean, and welcoming home where they can relax. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a sunny spot in the yard, or their own bed or crate (if preferred), we make their stay feel like home. Every pet in our care is treated like family, with loads of attention, plenty of love, and a watchful eye to keep them safe and happy.

A typical day

Your pup will get at least 2 walks a day in the neighborhood and time in the backyard. We will also play your pup's favorite games--fetch and bubble chasing in the yard, tug-of-war, hide-the-toy, or whatever they love to do.
