Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's comfort and safety are central to how I care for every guest. I closely supervise interactions between guest and resident dogs, and I take time to understand each dog's temperament and needs before allowing unsupervised play. Meals are served separately to maintain a calm environment and avoid food-related tension. I'm happy to follow your dog's established feeding schedule, medication routine, or any additional care instructions you provide. At bedtime, I do my best to replicate your dog's normal setup, whether that's a crate, a dog bed, or another familiar arrangement, so they feel settled and secure throughout 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 time in our large, securely fenced yard for play, exploration, and exercise, along with regular potty breaks, rest periods, occasional treats (with your permission), and attention. Dogs are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's a dog bed, the couch, or nearby as I attend to daily tasks and homeschooling with my children. Sociable dogs are welcome to interact with my resident dogs and other carefully matched guests, while dogs who prefer a quieter stay are equally accommodated.

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".
