Dana and her family were absolutely amazing to my pups! They were able to accommodate my dogs needs, they kept in touch with us, and they even gave them baths and nail trims before I picked them up! 100% will book again!😊

Good experience overall. Dana and her husband provided photos and communication throughout my dog’s boarding. Ginger was in good hands and stayed high in spirits when I picked her up.

Dana was easy to communicate with. Spencer was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Dana sent a couple of updates, so I knew he was doing well.

Dana accommodated and encouraged my questions before the boarding. She had a solid plan for both introducing her dogs and kids, as well as opening her home up so that my pups felt right at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups with her. She communicated well during my dogs stay as well. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 2 dogs of our own- a collie/Aussie mix and husky. Both are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.
