Pet care experience

Adventure awaits on the mountain!

We've been taking care of dogs all our lives, they are family! We whelped 2 litters of puppies from my sweet golden retriever Daisy. We love playing and cuddling with dogs and long walks on our property! Let your dog get a vacation/retreat from city life and enjoy the fresh air on the mountain here! Someone is pretty much here all the time so your dogs get LOTS of attention & walks. If your dog would be more comfortable you can bring along something that smells like home. Also their leash, food, snacks are optional and anything else they prefer. **We prefer to board dogs more than one night, that way there is less traffic on our road.** **Once you drive to the top of the mountain by our homes, please drive super slow to avoid dusting out the neighbors and them being happy, so we can keep boarding dogs! 🐕 thank you SO much!**

Crystal & Michael took very good care of our dogs! They were so happy and clean when we picked them up. They had the time of there lives! We will definitely use Crystal and Michael again.

Crystal is obviously a dog whisperer! Woody apparently wasn't so sure he wanted to stay at her house at first, but she and her family were so patient and kind with him that he decided to join their pack after all! Their house is out in the country, and once he settled in, he had a really great time. Crystal lives not far from Coeur d'Alene, and she made our vacation there worry-free. Thanks, Crystal, for a great experience for Woody and for us!
