Pet care experience
24/7 Luxury Care
Hi! We’re Laurie & Richard, and caring for dogs is truly our passion. Together, we provide a luxury, in-home boarding experience where every dog is treated like family. We are fully insured and have years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Unlike large boarding facilities, we intentionally keep our guest list small so each dog receives personalized attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection. Because one of us is always home, your pup receives around-the-clock supervision, companionship, and care. Your dog’s stay includes: • 🐾 Small-group boarding • ❤️ Personalized attention in a home environment • 🚶 Daily walks and playtime • 🛋️ Furniture privileges (if allowed at home) • 🧸 Plenty of toys and cozy dog beds • 📸 Daily photo and video updates • 🛁 Complimentary bath before going home • 👂 Ear cleaning • 🪥 Teeth brushing • ✂️ Nail trim (when your dog is comfortable with it) We share our home with four friendly Australian Shepherds that are well socialized and enjoy having canine guests. Our cats have their own separate upstairs space, allowing everyone to relax comfortably. Before Your Stay For the health and safety of every dog in our care, we require: • Current Rabies vaccination • DHPP/DAPP/DA2PP vaccination [Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis] • Bordetella vaccination • Monthly heartworm prevention • Monthly flea and tick prevention • Current veterinary records before arrival Our goal is to provide a safe, clean, loving home where you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is receiving exceptional, individualized care.

Ratings and reviews
Laurie took great care of Rocky for us and was able to take him in on a very last minute request. Rocky had lots of playtime and attention while we were away.
Absolute joy working with Laurie. Will look forward to working with her in the future for my pup Balto and his day care or overnight needs. Excellent communication and feedback during Balto’s recent overnight stay.
We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in the care of Laurie. She and Richard are animal people! From the meet and greet through the end of our time away, we were kept informed through pictures and videos. They made sure Lucky felt comfortable and gave him time to adjust. This was a way better situation than boarding with a corporate type of place. They have a fully fenced yard and a dog friendly home. Lucky was not stressed, but he was tired, which means he got his energy out. We will 100% book with Laurie again when we can't travel with Lucky. They are fantastic!!!
Laurie and her husband were great with Lola! She sent plenty of pictures and made sure Lola was comfortable. Thank you both!
Laurie and her husband were super communicative and sent a ton of pictures and videos. One of our pets is a puppy and that can be hard to find someone willing to take them at that age. Our dogs had a great stay and we would use them again for sure.
Laurie is the BEST! Helped us out with a last minute potty break for our Binski during the day and truly saved us!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine because my husband, Richard, and I provide care together. One of us is always home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Our days revolve around feeding, potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment, and lots of individual attention. We also send daily photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing. With our four friendly resident Australian Shepherds, dogs quickly become part of our family while staying in a safe, structured, and loving home environment.

A typical day
Giving your dog(s) lots of attention and creating a home away from home experience, catered to each individual dog and their owners’ preferences. Got a high energy dog? No problem! We can spend time doing puzzles, taking walks, or playing with my high energy Aussie puppy. Low energy dog? No problem! We can spend lots of time snuggling on the couch watching Netflix!
