Safe Haven Boarding & Dog Care

I’ve been caring for animals and walking dogs since I was a kid. Growing up on a homestead, I worked with all kinds of farm animals, which gave me hands-on experience with administering medications, reading animal behavior, and—most importantly—showering them with love and attention. These days, I’m a city girl working from home with my two lovable French Bulldogs. They’re always happy to make new friends and enjoy everything from backyard zoomies in our fenced yard to curling up for cozy couch snuggles. I also offer professional pet photography, so you can return home with a portrait of your furry family member that’s just as beautiful as they are. No matter what service you choose, I’ll always send Rover photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I provide both leashed walks and free-roaming playtime throughout the day. As an active person, I love getting outdoors with pups—whether that means strolling through the neighborhood, exploring greenways, or hitting a hiking trail. For high-energy dogs, I’m happy to provide more adventurous outings, while for those who prefer a calmer pace, I’m just as content to relax and keep them company.

As usual, Hillary went above and beyond with Obi, giving him a little extra play and walk time. She's always great and treats my dog like her own. Highly recommend her!

Hillary was so great with my dog, Aurora. She did a great job of introducing her to the rest of the "pack" at her place and I think Aurora really enjoyed her stay with Hillary and her awesome backyard!

Safety, trust & environment

For overnight and daily boarding clients, please be informed that bringing a crate is mandatory for their safety and comfort during their stay. This rule applies to all Rover clients. Additionally, grooming, including nail trims, must be completed before drop-off. We have bunnies and garden beds in our backyard. While we are conveniently located near downtown, our homestead environment emphasizes a peaceful and natural atmosphere.

Pets

A typical day

I adore taking everyone on trail walks and organizing indoor toy toss sessions. For the high-energy pups, we prioritize visiting our local dog parks and greenways. Let me know if you have local destinations you frequent together and we will make a point of going!
