Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s comfort level with kids and other pets as that is most important to us in accepting stays. We are happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and want him or her to be as happy and comfortable as possible. For boarding, we only accept stays with pets who are crate trained and comfortable sleeping in a crate (at night) while they are here.

A typical day

Between me and my husband, our own dog and our kids (ages 4-13), your dog will be loved and entertained all day long! We are a very active and outdoors-loving family and live in a great dog-walking neighborhood, too. Your pet receives attentive care while he or she is here- they are not left alone for more than an hour a day total (for our kids’ school drop-off/pick-up) and the rest of their stay is filled with plenty of exercise, rest, and lots of love from all of us.

They were wonderful to work with. Easy to contact and work with and the (4) pups seemed to do great when we picked them up. Will work with them again!!!

Katie was exceptional! Her family welcomed Lyla my Great Dane and enjoyed playing with her much. Not only did she care for Lyla but also kept me updated through out the day. Getting photos of her definitely made the experience a whole lot better as this was my first time boarding Lyla. Thank you Katie. I highly recommend her!

Katie and her family were awesome! They made my Bubbles feel right at home. This was my first time having my dog being boarded overnight anywhere and using a app to do it so , I was very nervous. She sent my pictures / videos updating me the whole time about how Bubbles was doing. I feel so comfortable with this whole experience and would definitely book again!
