As a homemaker, I'm home with the dogs most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of care, potty breaks, playtime, and love throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, so guest dogs can settle into a comfortable rhythm that works for them. Whether your pup enjoys playing, lounging on the couch, following people around the house, or taking frequent naps, they'll have plenty of opportunities to do so. If I leave the house, it's typically only for a short period of time. I'm happy to accommodate dogs who are crate-trained or who prefer a crate for naps, meals, or bedtime.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully supervise all interactions between guest dogs and resident dogs, and I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and needs. Meals are served separately to create a calm, stress-free environment and prevent food-related conflicts. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions you provide. My home features a large, securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. At bedtime, I do my best to maintain your dog's normal routine. Whether they sleep in a crate, on a dog bed, or in another familiar setup, I want them to feel at home during their stay.

Information Heather N. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your pup ahead of time, the better I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home during their stay!

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of outdoor time in our large fenced yard, play sessions, potty breaks, naps, treats (with your permission), and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Dogs are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's lounging on a dog bed, stretching out on the couch, or keeping me company as I go about my day. For dogs who enjoy socializing, there are opportunities to play with my resident dogs and other carefully matched guests. For dogs who prefer a quieter experience, that's perfectly fine too.

Pet care experience

Personalized Boarding & Doggy Daycare! Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. I intentionally keep my numbers low so every guest receives plenty of individualized attention and supervision. I'm a homeschool mom, homemaker, and lifelong dog lover. My husband, two daughters, and three dogs make our home a fun, safe, and loving environment where someone is home most of the day. 🐾 Meet & Greets Required I require a free meet-and-greet before accepting new clients to ensure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Thanks for making Hank a part of your family! I can enjoy my time away knowing he's having a blast "at camp".
