Pet care is our full-time passion and a total family affair! Because my daughters and I manage our schedule together, someone is almost always home to provide love, supervision, and companionship. Our days are naturally structured around pet care—from morning yard play and neighborhood walks to afternoon cat snuggles and evening wind-down time. Your pet will seamlessly blend into our daily routine and never be short on attention or affection.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is our absolute top priority. When boarding in our home, dogs have full access to a spacious, completely secure, and fenced yard for supervised playtime. We introduce new dogs slowly and carefully to our puppy and five cats. Whether in our home or yours, we closely follow your specific feeding, medical, and crate routines. Our experience with shelter cats and rescue dogs means we are experts at reading animal body language to ensure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and secure.

Information Dorothy D. would like to know about your pet
To provide the absolute best and safest care, please let us know about your pet’s personality, quirks, and routine ahead of time! It is incredibly helpful to know: -Are they fully house-trained or puppy pad-trained? -How do they do around other dogs and cats? -Do they have any food allergies, resource guarding tendencies, or medical needs? -What are their favorite ways to be comforted if they feel homesick? Knowing these details helps us customize our home and routine to make them feel instantly comfortable!
A typical day
A typical day is packed with fun, tailored to your pet's energy level! We start with morning potty breaks and breakfast, followed by exciting zoomies and fetch in our big, fenced yard. If your dog loves to socialize, they will have a blast playing with our 5-month-old puppy. Throughout the day, we take neighborhood walks, play with puzzle toys, and enjoy plenty of couch snuggles. Cats get specialized playtime with feather wands, laser pointers, and all the chin scratches they desire!

Pet care experience
I have been boarding and watching dogs of all sizes and ages for a while now, and I love adapting to whatever your specific pup needs—whether that’s a high-energy routine or a slower, gentler pace. Now that we have our sweet 5-month-old Shih Tzu puppy, Pickles, we are so excited to welcome new dog friends into our home for boarding! If you have a puppy or a dog who loves to socialize, our home is the perfect spot. We have a fantastic, spacious yard that is fully secure and perfect for zoomies, fetch, and supervised playtime. My 15-year-old daughter is my right-hand helper and loves doting on our dog guests. Together, we have over 10 years of pet parenting experience. We love going on walks, giving tons of belly rubs, and making sure your pup feels right at home. We also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who might be a little shy and just need some extra patience, love, and gentle attention. Whether it's boarding or daily walks, your pup will be treated like family!

She and her daughters took such great care of my dog Cairo. ❤️ They were attentive, loving, and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. I’m very grateful for everything they did for him and I would definitely contact her again if needed. Highly recommend!
Dorothy did a great job! My cats warmed up to her quickly. I would recommend her.
Dorothy took great care of our two cats. Highly recommend her.
Dorothy is amazing. Buster and I love her! She treats the dogs like they are her own babies.
