Career goal: be with dogs all day
Welcome to the Dog House — Where Your Pup Feels Right at Home! Hi, I’m Dana! I’ve been boarding dogs for over six years and working with basic obedience and socialization during that time. What started as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a passion for providing a safe, calm, and loving environment for dogs of all kinds. Before launching my dog boarding business, I spent years as a veterinary technician and volunteered extensively with humane societies during high school and college. I often worked with dogs who were considered “difficult to adopt” — usually due to anxiety or behavioral issues related to the stress of shelter life. Those early experiences shaped the thoughtful, individualized care I bring to every dog I meet. This journey has also been deeply personal. I’ve said goodbye to my beloved German Shepherd, Beast (15), and my Husky/Malamute, Echo (14), both of whom taught me patience, trust, and the deep bond we share with our animals. About Boarding at My Home: I share my home with my 6-year-old son — a certified snuggler and dog lover — and we treat every dog like part of the family. I’m also a full-time realtor, which allows me the flexibility to be home most of the day. When I do step out, I always ensure dogs are safely separated for their comfort and safety. Dogs are fed separately, and playtime is fully supervised I follow your routines to keep things consistent (furniture rules, crate use, feeding schedules, etc.) I’m experienced with administering medications — including injections Fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time Clean, comfortable space with plenty of love and attention Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’m here to honor that. Whether your pup loves playtime, belly rubs, or just a cozy corner to nap in, I make sure they feel safe and at home. Have questions or want to set up a meet-and-greet? Don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d love to connect with you and your pup and see if I am a good fit!

This was our puppy’s first stay away from our home and she had a BLAST. She came home happy and exhausted from playing with the other dogs. We were so thrilled to know she was in good, capable hands and we really appreciated the photo updates. We will definitely book again!

Dana was great with our bulldog. It was clear that our dog loved being there and am definitely comfortable recommending Dana for anyone who needs a sitter!

Dana was great & we will definitely be using her again! She & her family are very accommodating to dogs; you can definitely tell they’re dog-lovers. We felt very comfortable with her care the entire time. Mira came back in great spirits & exhausted (which means she had a blast playing, especially being a high-energy husky/border collie mix).

Dana took care of my two rambunctious pups for daycare. They came home happy and the perfect level of tired. 🙂
