We begin each morning with breakfast and a morning walk. Dogs arriving after 9 am will catch up with the group in the backyard, where we play, stretch, and lounge. Throughout the day, we'll alternate between outdoor playtime in the backyard and restfull time indoors. Whether inside or outside, all dogs are supervised and move together as a group. At the end of each day, I'll send colorful photos of our time together to both daycare and boarded dogs' families. In the evening, boarded dogs will eat dinner and take a neighborhood walk. When it's time for bed, we offer flexible sleeping arrangements. We provide a variety of comfortable, freshly laundered dog beds and cozy resting areas throughout our home.

✨Exceptional, Curated Dog Care
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Kim. It's my great pleasure to provide exceptional care for small groups of dogs in my home. I offer both daycare and overnight boarding, with intentionally limited group sizes. Dogs that join us here are social, comfortable around other dogs, and able to respect healthy play boundaries. I am always with the dogs, overseeing interactions and paying close attention to how each dog is feeling, behaving, and adjusting within the group. I've lived with dogs my entire life, have been deeply involved in dog rescue, and have studied with a variety of trainers over the years. I also hold a master's degree in East Asian Medicine, and spent my previous career in clinical practice. That experience strengthened my ability to notice subtle shifts, read nonverbal cues, and stay deeply attentive in the moment-skills that naturally carry into how I work with dogs. We observe beautiful growth and vitality from all the dogs that stay and play with us. We hope to meet you and your precious pup!
Reviews
Kim and Jonathan took great care of our two dogs for the weekend! We loved getting photo updates showing them playing with the other dogs and having a great time in their outdoor space. June and Stevie were so happy when we picked them up! Highly recommend!!
I would say Pickles had a 12/10 great time at Kim's daycare! He is a high energy puppy and he came home each day happy and exhausted. Kim took lots of photos and action shots, so cute. He is always so excited to go back and see his friends!
We boarded Frida with Kim while recovering from surgery, and she kindly let us extend her stay when we needed a bit more time. Kim shared photos and updates every other day, and even dropped Frida off to us. Would 100% board with Kim and Jonathan again. Thank you!
Kim was absolutely wonderful! Pickles immediately wagged his tail when he saw her for the first time and did not hesitate to go inside for his first day. Pickles has an insane amount of puppy energy, and Kim was incredibly patient with him. He looked so happy at pickup. Kim sent me pictures of Pickles and his new friends. Looks like he had a blast with the other pups. We will be back! We have already rebooked :)
