Safety, trust & environment
Welcome to our pet-friendly haven! Our home boasts a spacious quarter-acre fenced-in backyard, teeming with vibrant bird life and the occasional visit from squirrels and rabbits. This natural setting offers an abundance of new sights and smells for your furry friends to explore and enjoy. Our garden is a continuous project, providing an ever-changing landscape of intriguing scents and sensory experiences that keep dogs engaged and entertained. We prioritize your pet's comfort and well-being, ensuring they get ample outdoor time throughout the day. Dogs are let out every couple of hours to stretch their legs, play, and explore the yard. We also incorporate at least one daily walk for those who handle well on a leash, providing additional exercise and mental stimulation. Weekends are special family times, often involving longer outings. While these excursions might slightly delay the frequency of potty breaks Our home features cozy, soft areas filled with toys and plenty of fresh water, ensuring your pet remains relaxed and happy even during our brief absences. We understand the importance of trust and safety when it comes to your beloved pet. With our attentive care, enriching environment, and structured routines, you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands while staying with us.

Information Joshua & Kristen B. would like to know about your pet
We prefer to board small breeds. Important things for us to know are any injury/illness needs, especially medications and dosage. As well as the preferred feeding schedule for them. If they have a favorite toy and a bed/crate they are comfortable in, please provide that as well so they have an easier transition.
A typical day
Throughout the day, we respond to the dogs' needs and cues, letting them out whenever they signal, they want to go outside. For our high-energy guests, we engage in plenty of playtime, including endless games of fetch, which our own dog loves. If your dog enjoys this kind of fun, they'll fit right in and get plenty of exercise. We also include daily walks for dogs that are comfortable on a leash, providing them with additional physical activity and mental stimulation. Our neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly, perfect for leisurely strolls or more brisk walks, depending on your dog's energy level. For dogs that prefer a more relaxed pace due to health issues or age, we ensure there are soft, comfortable spots available in every room. Whether they enjoy being in the midst of household activities or prefer a quiet corner to lounge in, we accommodate their needs. We take special care to teach our children about dog safety and respect. They understand that when a dog retreats to their crate or a designated bed, it means they need some alone time and are off-limits for play. This ensures that all dogs have a safe, stress-free space where they can relax without interruption. As the day winds down, we make sure all dogs get one last outing in the yard before bedtime. This helps them settle for the night, ensuring they are comfortable and ready to rest. Our Promise: At our home, every dog is treated with the utmost care and respect. Whether they are active and playful or calm and serene, we cater to their individual needs to ensure they have a happy, fulfilling stay with us.

Pet care experience
We are a dedicated team passionate about providing exceptional care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Our combined experience and commitment ensure that your pets receive the best possible attention and care. I have worked professionally as an Animal Caretaker for working dogs, which has equipped me with the skills and confidence to handle various breeds and behavioral types. This role has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and training, ensuring that I can provide exceptional care for your furry friends. My journey with animal care began at a young age, and I have a strong foundation in volunteer work. As a teenager, I dedicated my time to the Humane Society, where I gained hands-on experience with a diverse range of dogs. Additionally, I volunteered for Boxer and Pit Bull rescues, providing in-home fostering for these incredible breeds. This experience has given me a special affinity for rescue dogs and a commitment to offering them a safe and loving environment. My wife works from home, providing an additional layer of care and responsiveness to your dog's needs. Her constant presence ensures that any needs or issues are promptly addressed, providing peace of mind for you and comfort for your pet. She is knowledgeable and attentive to dogs' needs, making sure they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for throughout the day. With our combined experience and heartfelt dedication to animal welfare, we are well-prepared to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for your pets. Whether they need active play, gentle care, or specialized attention, you can trust that they are in capable and caring hands. Together, we create a warm, loving, and engaging home for your furry friends, ensuring they feel like part of our family during their stay.
Reviews
Cooper had a great time!
Joshua & Kristen B. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Joshua and Kristen go beyond basics, they always treat Cooper like a cherished member of their family. Lots of pics and videos, he is always happy when we pick him up, maybe even a little reluctant to leave? 😂
Archie had a wonderful day at day care! He loves being with Josh and Kristen and their family! They treat him as one of the family and he is always happy to see them. I highly recommend this wonderful pet- loving family!
