Pet care experience

VIP, Low-Stress Boutique Home Stay!

Why send your pet to a chaotic, crowded kennel when they can enjoy a peaceful, customized staycation? I intentionally limit my home boarding to a maximum of two dogs per day to ensure your fur baby gets 100% of my focus, care, and attention. All dog sizes are welcome here! As a dedicated, lifelong pet lover, I offer specialized care that larger boarding facilities simply cannot match. I am highly experienced in senior dog care and feel completely comfortable managing gentle, slow-paced routines, monitoring mobility, and administering oral or topical medications. On the flip side, if you have a high-energy puppy, I possess the immense patience required to maintain their potty-training schedules, reinforce positive behaviors, and provide safe socialization. Your pet will enjoy a cozy, safe home environment packed with: Endless TLC: Lots of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and dedicated playtime. Daily Adventures: Long, stimulating walks tailored entirely to your dog's energy level or age. Peace & Quiet: A calm, structured environment perfect for anxious or spoiled pets. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your baby is being treated like royalty!

Schedule

My daily routine is built entirely around the comfort and activity of my guests. Because I limit my home to just two dogs at a time, your pet becomes a member of the household, not just a visitor. My mornings always start with a long, brisk walk to burn off energy and get the day moving. Throughout the day, your pet is by my side—whether I’m working at home, reading, or relaxing, they get constant companionship and engagement. I don’t follow a 'kennel' schedule; I follow your pet's lead, ensuring they get their preferred nap times, play sessions, and the consistent, loving environment they are used to at home. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a gentle stroll or a playful pup ready for a game of fetch, their needs dictate my rhythm. I work right around the corner from the house, so am available all day!

Safety, trust & environment

Because I exclusively offer boarding in my own home, your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I treat my home as a secure, low-stress sanctuary. For dogs, this means full freedom in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they are never left unattended for long periods and are treated like family. I also offer a spa-day touch: for a small additional fee, I am happy to give your pup a refreshing bath right before pick-up so they return home smelling clean and fresh! For cat guests who prefer peace and quiet, I provide a completely separate, dedicated room equipped with everything they need to feel safe and relaxed away from the pups. I am highly vigilant about maintaining separate feeding areas, monitoring group dynamics, and strictly following the specific care, medication, and dietary routines you provide. Your pet will have continuous supervision, structured play, and a cozy spot to sleep every single night.
