Kayla’s Luxury Kennel

Kayla is our 2-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves dogs! We want to help her grow up learning how to be gentle, kind, and responsible when caring for pets. Of course, we’ll be right there with her every step of the way, teaching and helping her along the way.

I’ve had Eileen and Luke take care of my two small Pomeranians, Kit (5 lbs) and Fen (12 lbs), several times now. I typically leave them with Eileen and Luke for a week or longer, and every time they come back to me happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Eileen and Luke are extremely attentive to their routine. I leave them detailed feeding and crate instructions, and they follow them to a tee. They also keep me updated while I’m away, and if anything unusual happens, they let me know right away and tell me how they handled it. That communication gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially when I’m gone for longer trips. Their home is also a great environment for my dogs. They have a large yard, and Kit and Fen get plenty of time outside and regular walks. Since Kit and Fen are very small, I particularly appreciate that Eileen and Luke keep a close eye on them outdoors and are very mindful of wildlife or anything else that could potentially harm them. Their daughter is wonderful with them as well. She’s very gentle with small dogs and loves playing with Kit and Fen, and the three of them get along famously. My dogs can also be pretty noisy from separation anxiety, especially on the first night. Eileen and Luke have always been incredibly patient with them and are usually able to get them settled by the next night. They even use a white-noise machine, which helps recreate the sleeping environment Kit and Fen are used to at home. As a bonus, they have even given Kit and Fen baths right before I pick them up. They come home to me nice and fresh. I feel very comfortable leaving Kit and Fen with Eileen and Luke. They have consistently been attentive, communicative, patient, and genuinely caring toward my dogs. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for dog boarding services. Eileen and Luke are people you can genuinely trust to take great care of your pets.

Schedule

Daily Care Routine We follow a flexible, rotational care schedule so each pet gets individual attention and plenty of opportunities to go outside. Morning: First thing in the morning, we take each pet outside one at a time for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Once everyone has had their turn, they come inside for breakfast. Indoor Time: After breakfast, pets are able to relax and enjoy time indoors in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. They have access to toys and a TV for entertainment, along with plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. Potty Breaks: Every couple of hours, we rotate through the pets and take them outside individually for another potty break. We continue this routine throughout the day, adjusting it based on each pet’s needs. Because we work from home and are here throughout the day, we’re very flexible. We can give pets extra potty breaks, attention, playtime, or quiet time as needed. Our goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on a routine that feels as close to home as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

A Comfortable Home Away From Home Our kennel is designed to feel less like a traditional kennel and more like a comfortable home away from home. We have three individual kennels, each equipped with a cozy dog bed so every guest has their own comfortable space to rest. For our longer-term guests, we also have a dedicated doggy bath to help keep them clean and comfortable during their stay. During the day, pets can enjoy time indoors in our climate-controlled space, complete with a TV for entertainment and plenty of toys and attention. When it’s time to stretch their legs or take a potty break, they have access to our fenced yard where they can safely get some fresh air and movement. At night, we use a sound machine to create a calm, peaceful environment and help everyone settle in for a restful night. Because we’re home throughout the day, we’re able to give each guest individual attention and adjust their routine to fit their needs. We want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with us.
