Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are at the heart of everything we do. We treat every guest like our own — because that's genuinely how we feel about them. - Our home is set up with your pet in mind. We have a fully fenced yard, and cameras throughout the home so we can keep eyes on everyone at all times. We separate dogs by size to keep playtime safe and fun, and dogs that are reactive or need a little extra space get their own comfortable area where they can decompress without stress. - We're experienced with dogs of all needs — seniors, special needs, and those on medication (oral or injected). If your dog has specific routines, dietary needs, or quirks, just let us know. We'll follow your schedule, not ours. A few things we ask to keep everyone safe and happy: * All male dogs over one year must be neutered. We do not accept females in heat. * For the safety of all pets in our care, we seek your understanding if we are unable to proceed with a reactive or aggressive pet. However, we always make the best effort to try. * We typically have more than one guest family at a time, but we carefully manage our count based on size, breed, and temperament — so every dog gets real attention, not just a spot on the floor. - One small clarification that surprises some people: our profile lists one dog (that's our Snow, a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees). That's our personal pet — it doesn't mean we only host one guest at a time. We keep our guest count intentional and manageable so the experience stays great for everyone.

We want your dog to feel at home from the moment they arrive — and a consistent, comfortable routine is a big part of that. - Morning The day starts with a trip outside, followed by breakfast around 8–9 AM. After that, it's playtime — fetch in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood, or just some relaxed outdoor time depending on the weather and your dog's energy level. If your dog is leash trained and up for it, morning walks are a favorite. - Throughout the day Dogs go out every couple of hours to do their business and burn off energy. Outdoor play groups are kept by size so everyone stays comfortable and safe. Whether it's running around the yard or just sniffing around at their own pace, they're always under our supervision — inside and out. We also work on social skills and good behavior during the day, gently and at your dog's own pace. If they're more of a laid-back lounger than a fetch fanatic, that's perfectly fine too — we follow their lead. - Evening Dinner is served around 5–6 PM, or on whatever schedule you prefer — just let us know. After dinner, there's one more trip outside and a wind-down period before a final yard outing around 9 PM. - Lights out at 10 PM. Dogs who do better with their own space are welcome to settle into a play pen for the night — many dogs actually find this cozy and secure. Treats and snacks at bedtime, as you prefer. - Meals & food We're happy to follow your feeding schedule and preferences. If you're sending home-cooked food, we ask that it be plain stewed or boiled protein without spices. We can't accept raw meat for safety reasons, but can provide commercially available cooked meat if needed. If you have a different schedule in mind for any part of the day, just tell us — we're flexible and happy to accommodate. Meal times are in the morning around 8 to 9 AM and evening around 5 to 6 PM. If you prefer a different schedule, let us know and we will be happy to accommodate. - They get to go outside about every couple of hours during the day. If the weather is nice, they can stay out as long as they want to play. And are let out in groups of similar size. They are always under our supervision whether inside or out. - Walk times around the block are either in the morning or the evening depending on weather. the health of the dog and if they are reactive or leash trained. - Around 9 PM, they go out to the yard for the last time. Are provided treats/snacks as requested and lights are out at 10 PM. If parents prefer, they will be given personal space in play pens so that they feel secure in their own little area when they turn in for the night.
