Ratings and reviews
Charissa is great with Nilla. Nilla has a lot of separation anxiety and Charissa is patient with her. Nilla is also not used to other dogs and Charissa helps her adjust at each board.
Charissa is the only person I trust for boarding and daycare needs. My boys always have a great time at Poindexter Park.
Charissa is talented and takes her work seriously. She is professional and has great space for the dogs and this was a great place for our 7 month old to gain socialization. Would go again!
Our two pups recently stayed with Charissa for 9 days. She provides excellent care, especially for our 12 year old who can be anxious in boarding situations. Being a dog trainer as well, Charissa also works on basic manners which is much appreciated! Highly recommend for anyone needing a safe and happy place for their pups.
Bandit had the BEST day with Charissa! My pup had been called an ‘Eeyore’ by another pet sitter, but he was safely introduced to other dogs and made friends! Charissa not only provides a safe playground, she uses every opportunity to coach the dogs as well. An outstanding doggy daycare provider!
Our 2 dogs had a great overnight staying with Charissa! Thankful to have a place to have the dogs that we trust.

A typical day
We spend most of our days outside (weather permitting). Dog-friendly dogs may have small group playtime (depending on group dynamics), and/or we will play/interact one-on-one so everyone gets their needs met (even dogs who don’t get along with others). We also work on basic manners (ie. leash manners, crate manners, waiting for food, waiting at doorways, and teaching independence).
Prices may vary based on your selections. A booking fee of 11% will apply.
