SCHEDULE Between Dan and I, someone is almost always home. As long as your dog gets along with other dogs and is well-behaved, they will be out playing with the other dogs the majority of the day! We only kennel for meals, night. We have a small team of passionate animal lovers who come in when we have to leave the house during the day, so your dogs have as little kennel time as possible.

SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT At the meet and greet, we'll complete a detailed care instructions profile for your dog to ensure he/she receives the same care as at home. We use a top-of-the-line dog boarding software to track care, feed schedules, vaccines, and more! In addition, we have two indoor areas and two outdoor yards, so we can easily separate dog groups into low energy and high energy as needed. Finally, we practice safety measures after meals to protect your dog from Dog Bloat (a higher risk health concern in boarding settings).

Information Lexie F. would like to know about your pet

At the meet and greet, we will fill out a detailed care profile. Care details we will cover include: What does your dog like and dislike? Do they have any funny quirks or vices that we should watch out for? Do they have any food allergies? Do they have any treat restrictions? What's their history with dogs, cats, and kids? What does a typical day look like at home? What tricks and commands do they know? And more!

A typical day

The first potty breaks are generally between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., followed by breakfast. After breakfast, the dogs enjoy the day playing with the pack until approximately 6 p.m., when they are fed dinner. They'll get one more late-night play session and potty break before bedtime (generally around 9 p.m.).

Horse Farm Stay - Perfect Set Up ❤️

Pet care experience

*PLEASE CLICK 'READ MORE' TO SEE IF YOUR PUP IS A GOOD FIT* DOGGY SLEEP AWAY CAMP Ever dreamed of sending your pup on a farm vacation? That's exactly what we've created! We're just a quick drive off I-77 and I-26, where your dog can live their best life on our 15-acre horse and goat minifarm. WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL We've created the dog boarding experience we always wished existed for our dog, Mango. Our home offers over 2,000 sq ft of dedicated indoor dog space, two separate fenced play yards, enrichment activities (such as Yappy Hour, ball pit parties, paw print arts and crafts, etc.), plenty of pack playtime, and cozy private suites for meals and nighttime rest. YOUR DOG'S HOME AWAY FROM HOME INCLUDES: • Freshly washed blankets and dog bed (everything is clean, but my washer and dryer are tired 🫠) • Tons of pack play time (dogs come home tired) • Daily photo/video pupdates • Tuck-in treats (our regulars visiting dogs get SO excited for bedtime because they LOVE this tasty end to the night) • Final day brush out (and a spritz of dog cologne) • Two play yards (for high-energy and low-energy dog grouping) • Calming music during meals and bedtime (it's the little details that make a difference) • Fun enrichment activities on the weekends (sometimes on weekdays too, just depending on how many daycare dogs we have). WHERE WILL YOUR DOG SLEEP & EAT? Luxury Suite • Private decorated suite (see picture in our photos above) • Large-sized suites: 8'x8' | 10'x5' | 5'x5' • Luxury dog bed with fresh blankets • Private nightstand • Plush washable rug • Stylish decor and lighting • Durable chew toy *If your dog is destructive, their suite may have chew temptations removed from their room* DOGGY DAYCARE (Monday-Thursday) • Drop off as early as 7:30 AM • Pick up by 6 PM • Indoor/outdoor play sessions • Perfect for social dogs who need activity! • Your dog comes home tired GROOMING SERVICES • Departure bath and blow dry: $20-45 (based on size/coat) REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE ✓ Current vaccinations (completed at least 2 weeks before stay) ✓ On a vet-prescribed flea, tick, and heartworm medication ✓ Spayed/neutered (if over 8 months) ✓ Friendly with other dogs ✓ Must handle stairs comfortably (no leg or hip injuries) ✓ No alpha personality dogs or excessive humpers ✓ 100% safe with dogs of all sizes ✓ No fence jumping/climbing ✓ No history of being dismissed from any other pack play situation ✓ No excessive marking (can make exceptions if you provide male wraps) ✓ No guard-dog or dog-fighting breeds ✓ No excessive barking ✓ Must be healthy with no signs of being sick in the last two weeks. This includes coughing, watery or goopy eyes, as well as UTIs, etc. PICK-UP & DROP-OFF HOURS Monday-Friday: • 7:30 AM - 11 AM • 3 PM - 7 PM Saturday & Sunday: • 9 AM - 11 AM • 3 PM - 7 PM WHAT TO BRING • Food (plus one extra day in case your trip is extended) • Medications (if needed) • Leash • Slow feeder (if used) We provide everything else! Feel free to bring favorite toys or comfort items if desired. **If your dog is visiting for a longer stay, consider upping their daily food intake. Active dogs generally burn more calories here than at home and can lose weight if their daily calorie intake is not adjusted accordingly** WHY CHOOSE US? • Large, clean, dedicated dog space in our home of 2,000+ sq ft • Two separate play yards for energy matching • Commercial cleaning products • Professional bathing station • Double-barrier gates at exterior doors • Studied positive reinforcement training with the Greater Columbia Obedience Club • Non-smoking home • Incredibly organized • Reliable • Perfect for social dogs who love to play! • Enrichment activities HOW MUCH TIME WILL YOUR DOG SPEND IN THEIR SUITE If your dog's 100% safe with other pups, they'll only hang out in their suite for: • Mealtimes • Lunch Break (if we leave the house for lunch) • Bedtime • When Dan and I are both out of the house The rest of the day? They're out playing and making friends! We've got two incredible helpers (one is a certified groomer!) keeping the fun going all day long, even when Dan and I pop out for a bit. If you can't tell by now, we take this job seriously and do our best to make sure your dog comes back with a wagging tail! If we notice your pup isn't 100% safe with other dogs, they'll get private potty breaks and care instead (meaning more time in their room). In those cases, we might suggest finding a better fit for future stays. ❤️ HOW MANY DOGS DO YOU WATCH? We generally have about 10 to 12 dogs here on the weekends and separate them into two smaller groups. This is the ultimate play-date vacation for dogs that love going to the dog park! They play for hours and make friends (human and canine) throughout their stay. MEET & GREETS Meet and greets are set up on Tuesdays at either 5:30 or 6:30. This is the day when we generally have only a few overnight dogs and during dinner time. Because visiting dogs must be kenneled for a meet & greet, we plan meet & greets for days and times when the fewest dogs will be bothered and when they are already naturally kenneled for dinner. *Also, I have so many existing clients... doing more than two new customer meetings per week is more than enough.

So, I do Rover as well and host dogs. This is the place my dog will go when I need service. They do such an amazing job and truly understand what the dogs need. Great people and wonderful communication.

Lexi always takes great care of my pups. She provides lots of videos during their stay. It's a blessing having someone you trust watch your fur kids so you can take a trip.

We had a great experience with Lexie. The video updates were a lovely touch and gave us total peace of mind. The pups clearly had a blast, and we’ll definitely be back!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
