Information Irene F. would like to know about your pet

Let us know what you need from us. If your pet has special needs or behaviors that we should accommodate. If you would like your pet to sleep in a crate, we are able to do that. We are happy to host unaltered males & females, as we have the ability to give them separate spaces and play schedules to avoid mixing them together.

A typical day

Morning yard time to run around. Later on there is time to nap or just hang around. In the afternoon, there will be time for more play or a walk on the running path.

We love the company of dogs and we want your dog's visit with us to be a vacation for them as well as piece of mind for the parents. We have been volunteering for an animal rescue for 9 years, fostering over 60 dogs in our home. We have also worked with raising guide dog puppies for 5 years.

Irene was absolutely amazing. She is not only totally professional in her service, but her personal caring goes beyond special. I had both of my Malipoos boarded with Irene for 7 days. One of my doggies was not feeling his best at the start of their stay -- stomach issues -- Irene said, "no problem -- she would take extra good care of him". She not only gave him some stomach soothing fiber, but made him and fed him chicken and rice. By the time we returned he was completely better. Irene is far more than 5 STARS in our opinion!! Mary

My dog was a puppy who was so well cared for. He swam, played with other dogs, learned some tricks and loved his experience. More than I had hoped for in every way.

I can’t say enough great things about my dog’s stay at Irene’s house. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring, attentive hands. Irene kept me updated with so many adorable pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She’s also so lovely to talk to, her husband as well. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed (from so much playtime) and even freshly bathed, which was such a nice touch. She also went the extra mile by washing his blanket, something I really appreciated. It’s clear she treats every dog like her own. She also has been a rescue foster with a local charity for a long time so she has lots of experience. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and detail-oriented place for your pup, I highly recommend Irene. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks Irene!
