Derek and Yoki are obvious dog lovers who care a lot about the dogs in their care and have a great setup for it inside and out. Our 2 1/2+year-old Basset Hound Maple had a great experience in her 2-night stay, loved the expansive yard and playing with their other dogs. We appreciated the photos and updates shared during her stay and were confident she was in good hands.

Mac has loved both of his stays with Derek and Yoki! He always comes home happy and tired. We have a senior dog who just wants to be able to sleep on a couch most of the day and run around with other dogs a little. He gets plenty of outside time but has the comfort of a home and people who clearly love dogs.

Derek and Yoki were so wonderful to work with for boarding our sweet Sawyer. We received pictures and videos of our puppy's stay. She came home so tired after having a ball with other dogs and being able to run around their yard. She was even sporting a cute bandana from her stay! We would definitely book with them again!

Perfect caretakers for my pup - shared regular updates and videos, gave me an update on pick up, was flexible, and I could tell Marga had such an amazing time with them! Their backyard and home is immaculate and set up with pups in mind. They explained their processes well in our meet and great as well!

Oscar was so excited to stay with Derek and Yoki. We did a meet and greet ahead of time so when drop off time came he just ran to the back gate like he lived there. I appreciated the updates and the relaxed atmosphere of their home. Looks like Oscar has a new favorite sitter!

Let me know if your dog has special needs. We kindly remind you that all dogs must have their vaccinations up to date. This policy ensures the health and safety of all pets and visitors in our community. * Tick Precautions during Spring and Summer- Dog owners should take precautions (repellent or medication) to keep pets safe. * We have a large yard and spacious open areas in our home to give dogs plenty of room to roam and relax. However, this setup is not ideal for dogs who eat non-food items (such as mulch, rocks, or bones). For safety reasons, we do not accept dogs with the tendencies and cannot be held responsible for any related issues during their stay. Thank you for understanding.
