Your Dog's Home Away From Home

I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. As a lifelong dog owner and experienced rescue foster, I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like family. I currently share our home with two wonderful rescue dogs who have completed (and are in an ongoing program) professional training. They are extremely well-socialized, well-mannered, and comfortable around other dogs. We also have the ability to separate dogs when needed to ensure every guest feels comfortable and safe. In addition to raising my own dogs, I have spent more than five years fostering rescue dogs, helping dogs with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, and needs transition into loving homes. Our home features a fully fenced and secure yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Whether your dog loves walks, fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I tailor care to their individual needs. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so every dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. When your dog stays with me, you can expect: • Frequent photo and video updates • A safe, secure, home-based environment • Individualized attention and care • Experience with rescue, shy, and anxious dogs • A fully fenced yard for supervised play • Meet-and-greets before boarding whenever possible My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you're away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pup.

Inge was great! Our dog seemed to enjoy playing with her dog all weekend. She sent daily updates, which was very appreciated!

My Raven clearly enjoyed her stay with Inga and her family (and dogs!). Daily photos showed lots of play and relaxed contentment. House and yard are made for dogs! I also appreciate Inga's flexibility with scheduling our meet-and-greet and with the timing of drop off and pick up. Will book with her again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home full-time as a freelance marketing consultant, which allows me to provide a high level of attention and supervision throughout the day. Unlike sitters who may be away at an office for long periods, I am home for most of the day and can maintain your dog's normal routine, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. We have two well-trained rescue dogs of our own, and our days naturally revolve around walks, outdoor time, enrichment, training reinforcement, and lots of affection. Your dog will be welcomed into a structured, safe, and loving environment where they'll receive the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were my own and tailor my care to their individual needs, routine, and personality. For boarding and doggy daycare in my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with plenty of attention, supervised play, walks, outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, and lots of affection. We have two professionally trained rescue dogs who are well-socialized, and we have separate areas of the home available if a dog needs their own space or prefers a quieter environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I understand how important safety and consistency is for pets, and I strive to make their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. No matter which service you choose, you can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
