Calm, Structured Dog Boarding

I provide calm, structured boarding in a home environment for dogs that do best with consistency and thoughtful care. I’ve spent over a decade working with dogs in professional settings, including a pet resort and a veterinary clinic. That experience helps me understand different personalities and ensures dogs are handled safely, respectfully, and with attention to their individual needs. My home is designed to be low-stress and well-managed. I focus on: Consistent daily routines Calm, controlled interactions between dogs Safe supervision at all times Balanced exercise and rest I’m especially a great fit for dogs who: Can feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities Benefit from a more predictable environment Need a little extra patience when settling into new places While staying with me, dogs aren’t just “watched”—they’re guided through a steady, relaxed routine so they can settle in and feel comfortable. I’m home most of the day, which allows for regular potty breaks, engagement, and close supervision throughout their stay. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

Chris was great with Harper, our puppy. He is very caring and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs of all ages and their care. We will definitely be using his services again!

Christopher has a wealth of knowledge that he is willing to share and gained my dogs trust quickly during our meet and greet! He was able to take my dog in on short notice and throughout the trip sent me photos and videos. My dog has seasonal allergies and he asked us if he could give my dog some medication to help him. We will definitely be booking him again!

Schedule

Dogs follow a calm, structured routine with regular potty breaks, exercise, and downtime throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so they’re consistently supervised and not left alone for long periods. The environment is low-stress and predictable, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel comfortable during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Attention to details and consistency is key in creating a safe and healthy environment. I enjoy watching dogs learn and pick up on new behaviors. Dog sports are my favorite!

Pets

A typical day

I love to watch dogs play together in my backyard, explore the neighborhood or play games. I like to keep things relaxed and quiet in between play times or training sessions.

I believe it is important to know about any medical or behavior conditions which could affect the safety of your dog. What if any training has been done, if a dog has been boarded before.
