Dog lover

I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life! My family has always had large dogs (mastiff, labs, Australian shepherds). I also used to own horses so I am very comfortable working with animals.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 12, 2026

Kaela was wonderful. Prompt and clear communications, accommodated a last minute request, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs, updates, and pictures throughout the stay, went above and beyond, and even fed Luna when I was running late.

Would leave more stars if I could!!! Bernardo had the best time and came back happy and clearly well-loved. It was obvious he enjoyed himself. We will definitely use them again!

Kaela is AMAZING! She and her family took such great care of my dog Jane. I received lots of photos throughout the day and felt stress free. Jane can’t wait to go back and play with Ace!

Kaela is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She is not only passionate about caring for animals, but is also extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She has played a pivotal role in raising and training multiple well-behaved, happy, healthy dogs. Kaela also has excellent communication skills and will prioritize you and your dogs needs. Any fur friend would be lucky to have Kaela's company!

Kaela is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I have ever known. Her passion for animals, especially dogs, has been a part of her life since childhood—her very first words were even her dog Kona’s name. She has experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny 10-pound Chihuahuas to massive 180-pound Mastiffs, and she deeply understands their unique needs. What truly sets Kaela apart is her ability to read and respond to dogs’ cues with patience and intuition. She has an incredible way of making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Her own Siberian Husky is a testament to her training skills and dedication. I have no doubt that she would be an exceptional caretaker for any pet, treating them with the same care and attention she gives her own. Any pet in Kaela’s care is in the best hands possible!
