Caring for dogs is our daily focus. Every part of our routine is built around making sure the dogs in our care are safe, settled, and cared for. We adjust feeding, potty breaks, walks, and enrichment based on each dog’s needs and schedule, not just a one size fits all plan.

Safety, trust & environment
We are a mother and daughter team with decades of hands-on experience. Every dog stays in a private indoor suite with a quiet outdoor run and is cared for directly by us. Our three acre fenced pasture allows for secure off leash time, and we also offer group play — but only for dogs who truly enjoy it and do well in that setting. We keep the environment calm, structured, and predictable, with a focus on safety and individual attention.

Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet
We specialize in senior dogs and those needing extra care or recovery. If your dog prefers structure, quiet spaces, or has anxiety around other animals, we will create a calm, comfortable environment tailored just for them.
A typical day
Each dog has their own spacious indoor suite with access to fresh air and quiet outdoor space. Throughout the day, they enjoy individual time outside, peaceful rest, and gentle enrichment based on their needs. We use a heated indoor room on cold days and a secure three acre pasture for movement and exploration. Every dog settles into a calm, consistent rhythm—safe, seen, and supported

30 yrs experience, fenced acreage!
Pet care experience
Animals have been at the center of our lives for more than 30 years. From raising and breeding dogs for two decades to working hands on with animals of all kinds, we bring a lifetime of experience, deep knowledge, and grounded compassion to the way we care for pets. As the co-founder of a rescue organization, we have worked with dogs of every breed, temperament, and medical condition. We have supported animals through trauma, healing, old age, and everything in between. This is not just something we do. It is who we are. Together as a mother and daughter team, we run a quiet, private boarding facility for dogs who need more than just a place to stay. Some of the dogs who stay with us are seniors. Some are recovering from surgery or dealing with medical conditions. Some are just emotionally wired for quiet and routine. And some are perfectly healthy but do best in a calm, structured environment. All of them are cared for by the same two people, every day. We do not run a social daycare model. We do not hand your dog off to a rotation of staff. What we offer is consistent, thoughtful, one on one care in a setting designed for peace and safety. Each dog has a large private indoor suite with access to a quiet outdoor run. Our days are structured around rest, movement, enrichment, and calm interaction. We have a fully fenced three acre pasture for supervised off leash time, a heated indoor room for colder days, and plenty of space to stretch, relax, and breathe. We welcome all dogs who do well in this kind of space. We specialize in senior care, special needs, and recovery, but also offer standard boarding for dogs who thrive in a low stress setting. Caring for animals is not a side job here. It is the center of our lives. And we are honored to offer a place where your dog will be safe, known, and truly cared for.
Reviews

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! I had to leave town unexpectedly because of an emergency, and she made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog can get anxious in environments with a lot of other dogs, so Jennifer's setup was absolutely perfect. She took the time to make sure he was comfortable, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I received updates throughout his stay, and he came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I couldn't recommend Jennifer more highly. If you're looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and truly treats your dog like family, she's the one to book!
Blue had the best weekend away at Jennifer’s farm - I can tell he was so well cared for. He had the biggest smiles in her video updates. Thank u again 🐾

Kimbo enjoyed his stay very much!

Nova had a wonderful time with Jennifer and she sent me daily videos. 100% recommend and will work with her again
