Your Pup's Next Staycation Awaits!

I’ve cared for and raised a whole variety of animals since childhood, including cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, Guinea pigs, birds, horses, monkeys, and ferrets. I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old, starting with my 2 black labs, and even raised a litter of newborn puppies! I've trained a countless number of dogs and absolutely love every single 4 legged friend with all my heart. I am a big believer at meeting everyone, dogs included, where they are at and doing everything I can to keep them happy, comfortable, and feeling super loved. I have years of experience boarding, grooming, walking, pet-sitting, and house-sitting, administering medication & food on set schedules, helping pets overcome phobias & behavioral issues. I signed up for Rover because Moksha (my 3 year old mini golden doodle) and I love having other dogs around to play and snuggle with. Book with my profile link for a discount on your 1st stay!

Moksha, my baby, loves playing and cuddling with other dogs as well but will also totally respect your dogs space if that's what they want. Your fur baby has free rein of my place! I have multiple bowls of water throughout so they will always be super hydrated. They also are totally welcome to hop up on the couch, ottoman and bed. My house it their house 100%. I am big on communication, love taking photos and sending daily status updates.

Kelsey was absolutely amazing watching our dog Hudson. She treated Hudson like he was her own.

Another wonderful staycation for my little guy! Kelsey is so responsive, flexible with my travel, helpful & kind. Nigel & I are so lucky to have found her. He adores her, and I’m so grateful for her help. Looking forward to the next one!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day here is all about balancing play, exploration, relaxation, and lots of affection! Mornings usually begin with potty breaks, breakfast, belly rubs, and some time exploring the backyard. Afterward, we’ll enjoy outdoor playtime with toys, games of fetch, sniffing adventures, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Dogs who enjoy being social can make new friends, while those who prefer a quieter pace are welcome to lounge and enjoy one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, pups have access to a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces where they can play, explore, or simply unwind. Many guests love stretching out on a chaise lounge by the pool, relaxing in the shade, or finding a cozy spot inside for a nap. There are plenty of dog beds available, but guests are also welcome to curl up on the couch or snuggle in bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. Since the beach is right across the street, one of our favorite activities is taking leisurely beach walks, enjoying the fresh ocean breeze, and exploring new sights and smells together. The afternoons are filled with more playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and relaxation before dinner. In the evenings, everyone settles in for family time, plenty of attention, and a cozy night’s sleep. My goal is for every dog to feel like they’re on their own little beach vacation—safe, loved, entertained, and completely at home while you’re away.
