35 Acres|Structured|Daily Updates

We offer a structured, calm, and enriching boarding experience not a chaotic, overcrowded environment. Located on 35 private acres with creek access, your dog will have space to explore, exercise, and decompress in a safe and controlled setting. With a background in dog training, we focus on maintaining structure, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels secure and balanced during their stay. This is not high volume boarding we intentionally limit how many dogs we take so each one gets the attention they deserve.

This was the second time we left our dog with Emily. As before, he was well taken care of. In fact, he was so comfortable with her that when we dropped him off, he thought HE was on vacation and and was excited to go with her.

I'm so grateful to find such a wonderful sitter for my dogs! Emily was great at sending daily updates with photos and videos. My two senior dogs looked like they were having so much fun on their country walk everyday and were being treated like part of the family. I felt confident that they were well taken care of and enjoyed their time there. I will definitely be booking again with Emily!

Absolute best hands-down would recommend Emily and her husband! They are so knowledgeable and so diligent in their work and helping taking care of my dog. They go the extra mile to exercise and spend quality time with him while away.

Absolutely amazing. Boone had a blast Emily and her family handled my big boy with the best love he could have ever received. I will forever be using her for the care of my boy while I'm away. His big smiles in the pictures I received told me everything I needed to know. He was comfortable, happy, healthy, and safe with this family. I couldn't be more appreciative of them.

Schedule

Our schedule is built around the dogs in our care. I am home full time and actively manage the dogs throughout the day, ensuring consistent supervision, exercise, and structure. Dogs are not left unattended, and we maintain a routine that promotes calm behavior, proper rest, and balanced activity. Because we limit how many dogs we take at one time, we’re able to give each dog the attention and oversight they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our property offers 35 private acres, but all outdoor time is structured and supervised. this is not a free-for-all environment. We carefully assess each dog’s temperament and energy level to ensure appropriate interactions. Dogs are only socialized when it’s safe and beneficial, and we are fully comfortable managing dogs individually if needed. Cleanliness, routine, and low stress are a major focus here. We do not overcrowd, and we maintain a calm, controlled atmosphere that helps dogs settle in quickly. With experience in dog behavior and training, we’re confident handling a wide range of personalities from high energy working breeds to more sensitive or anxious dogs.

Pets

A typical day

Each day is structured to balance exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. Mornings typically start with potty breaks and light activity to get dogs moving and settled into the day. From there, dogs rotate through structured outdoor time where they can explore, exercise, and engage in a controlled environment. Throughout the day, we incorporate rest periods to prevent overstimulation. this helps maintain calm behavior and keeps dogs balanced during their stay. Depending on the dog, we may include light training reinforcement, leash work, or structured play. Evenings are calm and relaxed, allowing dogs to wind down and feel comfortable before bedtime. Every dog is managed based on their individual needs, energy level, and personality not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences that I should account for. I am familiar with many different breeds and temperaments and would love to schedule a meet and greet prior to visits.
