We offer a full-time, supervised homestyle experience. While your dog is in our care, we follow a routine that may similarly reflect an active fun-with-friends stay-home day all in the comfort of a home environment!! Between belly rubs and cuddles, we offer your dog enrichment opportunities through engaging activities, play time, safe socialization and more, but are careful not to overwhelm them --balance is key! We strive to provide a safe space for your pup to socialize, explore, and to be comfortable enough to relax --yes, it's OK for your pup relax and nap. Constant playing and socializing, panting and catching their breath is not necessarily every pups' cup of kibble :) We take into consideration your pups' daily routine/schedule and accommodate to best meet their needs while in a shared space with multiple dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello! Our names are Evie & Thao and we’d be very happy to provide care for your fluffy companion/s. When in our care, your pup/s are free to safely explore, roam and play. Our neighborhood is people and pet friendly --located between two parks that includes a lakeside walking trail, sporting fields and a nature trail --so there are lots to discover during our time together. We provide your pup/s with an outlet to actively explore and socialize both outdoors and indoors. We will keep you updated with visual updates throughout their stay and we’ll post your pup periodically. *MEET & GREETS + TOUR are pre-arranged and only offered on the LAST Mondays of each month, if openings are available, so please plan accordingly. Providing a safe and stress-free environment for everyone in our care is our priority and your dog plays a vital role when present. *****PLEASE NOTE**** *We host multiple dogs at a time. It is important that your dog: -Must be friendly with humans and dogs of all sizes -Must be able to get along with other dogs in a social and shared setting -Must be able to read/understand and respond positively to human and dog social cues *We currently DO NOT have the capacity to accommodate and/or support your dog at this time if: -They have severe separation anxiety -They excessively bark, mark, mount, howl and/or whine -They are/or can become destructive -They are/or can become aggressive -They are barrier reactive -They have a HIGH prey drive -They have extreme high energy -They persist to dominate -They are escape artists; this includes but is not limited to jumping/scaling fences, digging under fences to escape and/or are door knob/handle/lock enthusiasts. This would also include dog/s who are/may find themselves in an extreme heightened state to search/find their owners by attempting to escape/leave or are impulsive explorers. *Off-Site Activities ( --i.e. walks off our home property): Safely determined by your dogs' leash manners, their reactivity level/s, calendar activities and our capacity. To provide your dog the best possible experience, please be transparent with us --it'll help us determine our capacity and guide us as we begin and continue to build our relationship with you and your dog.

I was able to take my dream vacation without ever worrying about Shug. Because I know she consider Evie's house as her 2nd home. Evie has been loving Shug 3+ years. Extended family ❤️

Thank you so much for having Teddy again. Evie & her partner are so professional and continues to provide updates for me. Teddy was on allergy meds this time and Evie was so helpful to make sure he took them on time. I keep going back because they know what they're doing and I trust them with my dog. He has anxiety, but Evie falls in step quickly and knows how to handle/manage dogs like Evie. Thank you again!
