Highlights
Pet care experience
Love, care and PLAYTIME
Let your pup experience a family home environment full of love and playtime much like your own! We have a large, fenced in backyard and a whole bag of tricks to help your pup have just as much of a vacation as you are. My fiance, Carl, and I, work together to care for all the dogs who come and stay with us. After adopting our dog, Luna, back in 2019, we began fostering abused and neglected dogs and gained lots of experience in dog behavior, training and care. When we moved to Jacksonville in 2021, we began sitting through Rover. Now, we have hundreds of dogs who we consider our extended family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Em and Carl did a wonderful job boarding our pups for a few days. Based on their reviews we knew they'd be in good hands. Our time away was worry-free!


Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!

Cassian loves going to Em’s house every week! Every dog that Cassian has been there with he’s gotten along great with, Em does a great job making sure every dog is a good fit. Cassian runs as fast as he can into their house in the morning and always comes home happy. Highly recommend!

Would recommend and use again. Both girls obviously had a good time.


Em took great care of our dog! She had so much fun and Em and her husband were great with communication and sending pictures as well. Would recommend them to anyone

My girl loved staying with Carl & Em! She felt right at home and I had peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of and loved while I was away for a few days. 💕

Schedule
We devote lots of 1 on 1 time to your dog each day - this includes cuddles, mini training sessions, playtime, and mental stimulation games. We value respect for your schedule, and ask the same for our own! Whatever time you put in the app for pick up and drop off, we reserve just for you and your dog. We build in extra time to get your dog comfortable and happy in the new place. If you need to change the time you put in the app for pick up and drop off, we are flexible up to the day of. If you need to change day of or are late, we charge a $10 fee.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Just like any human, dogs want structure and love. The dogs who stay in our home come to learn the routine of our day to day. We have playtime, mental game time, nap time, and cuddle time daily. We send at least one photo update a day.
Pets
A typical day
We ALWAYS start boarding with 1-on-1 time with your pup. This gives your dog the chance to relax and understand they're in a safe and caring place. Our dog, and any other friends staying with us, will be in their own areas (but they will know another friend is here, so it's likely that you'll hear them barking). That way your dog can come in, get to know their environment, explore outside, and get to know us before we properly introduce them to the other dogs and have playtime. If you bring a toy for your dog, we won't give it to them until we've seen how they do with the other pups (to avoid resource guarding). We feed everyone separately from one another.
