Boarding • Sep 03, 2026

The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.

Darian took such good care of Chewie. He went through a bit of separation anxiety but Darien found ways to make him comfortable. thank you!

This was our first time leaving our Lucy with someone outside of our home and it was a great experience using Darien. She was very professional, very kind, super communicative with daily videos and Lucy came back to us looking and acting super well cared for. We will definitely plan to use her again in the future.

Darien took such great care of our Kudi! She sent me so many pictures and videos throughout the week, which made me feel like I was still there with him and gave me so much peace of mind. Her space is gorgeous with a huge lawn for him to play and sunbathe. She also gave him a bath and a haircut for his return home, and he looks absolutely adorable! I highly recommend Darien and will definitely be booking with her again.

Chewie had a wonderful time. Darian sent pictures and updates of all the dogs having a great time. I know he is always in good hands with Darian.

Pets

A typical day

BOARDING: We service a small group of pups at a time. There’s time your dog might be the only one boarding or they might be with other pup friends. It’s important that your dog gets along with other dogs. Pup(s) will be on a semi daily routine. They wake up, get their first potty, breakfast, walk, relax in playroom(play or nap), pups will be using backyard throughout the day as long as weather permits, dinner, relax let the food digest, nighttime walk and last potty break will be between 9/9:30pm. All dogs sleep in their own bed in pet sitter bedroom. There is no use of kennel or crate at Posh Dog Spa. Playpen is available for dogs that get super anxious or just want their own space. Drop off and pick up time is between 8am- 5pm. Anything outside of these hours may require additional fee. DOGGY DAYCARE: Doggy Daycare is very similar to boarding. Pup get to do as much depending on what time they are being dropped off and picked up. Drop off and pick up time is 8am- 5pm. Anything outside these hours may require additional fee. DOG WALKING: I walk dogs in a safe and comfortable manner. Occasionally I use slip leash if dog has a tendency to yank or pull. I do not take pup(s) to dog park as to avoid any distress. Hours for dog walking is 8am- 5pm. Anything outside these hours may require additional fee. DROP-INS: I come into your home change water bowl, give food, medication if necessary, take dogs outside in the BACKYARD, play with them if they wish. If there’s anytime left we can add in a short walk. Keep in mind everything can be modified and communicated with pet owners depending on dog behavior or weather conditions. UNNEUTERED AND UNSPAYED PUP(S): I am open for unneutered and unspayed pup(s). There will be an extra charge of $25 on the standard rate. This is due to the extra attention that the pup(s) requires( I.e. humping and constant peeing around property.) DOG GROOMING: At the moment I offer one FREE GROOMING SESSION with at least three nights of boarding at my home. (As long as pup desires to be groomed. No aggressive dogs!!) After the first time FREE grooming I have separate offers if interested Pick up and Drop off rate starts at $25 depending on distance of location. Any requests after 5pm will get a response the following business day. Thank you and I can’t wait to meet your pup(s)🐶♥️

Behavior at home(destroy house property for example). Aggression, any noise sensitivity, medical issue I need to be aware of, vaccination record, fleas and ticks up to date & other important information to accommodate your baby as best.
