Availability

I work full-time at home and have lots of free time in between to play in the yard and give pets to our pup. I am/we are mostly available on weekdays because we are out and about hiking, rock climbing, and paddleboarding with our pup during many weekends. If you have a puppy who needs to go on a hike or adventure, we can accommodate that too!

Information Luisa M. would like to know about your pet

Please share any quirks, triggers, or special needs. We can’t host dogs with aggression, high anxiety, escape habits, or potty issues. This is a relaxed, roam-free home with a fenced yard — not a training setup — so pups should be calm and social.

A typical day

We have limitations. Dogs enjoy a relaxed, home-style day - roaming freely inside and playing in our fenced yard. We do group play of fetch from time to time to tire out dogs who can do a game of fetch. This is a cozy home, not a training setup - just a safe place for dogs to be part of a household.

Pet care experience

***Things to Know Before Booking*** We’re not a training facility, so we’re the best fit for easygoing, social pups. Think of this as a warm, safe home where your dog can relax and be part of our everyday life while you’re away — not a replica of their exact routine at home. We can’t accommodate dogs who: • Show aggression toward people or other dogs • Don’t have reliable recall • Have severe anxiety that leads to digging, fence jumping, or escaping • Are escape artists or heavy chewers who need constant supervision • Have high working-dog energy (like herding breeds that need a job) • Need to be kept separate from the pack • Bark, whine, or howl nonstop • Need more structure, training, or special accommodations beyond what our home setup provides • Aren’t potty trained or tend to mark inside the house — that’s a no-no here! Limitations & Lifestyle We keep things simple and safe. Dogs naturally join our daily rhythm — hanging out in the office, relaxing indoors, and enjoying a calm home environment. We prefer dogs who are comfortable roaming freely and don’t rely on crates or kennels during their stay. Walks are occasional treats, usually only when: • There are two dogs or fewer in care, and • The weather allows it (no extreme heat or heavy rain) This setup keeps everyone comfortable, relaxed, and safe while fitting right into our home routine. Location, Location, Location • We’re right off the Purdy Exit along SR 302 — near the Purdy Sand Spit. • Our fully fenced yard is perfect for zoomies, sunbathing, or just lounging around with a new furry buddy. Your Dog’s Home Away from Home • Your pup will join our gentle golden retriever, Lobster, in our cozy home and safe, fenced yard. I’m Lu — a full-time designer who works from home — which means your dog gets company and supervision pretty much 24/7 (Jason covers the 5% when I’m doing errands). • The calm, homey environment care help your dog settle in comfortably and feel right at home. What Sets Us Apart • Safe, fenced yard for playtime and lazy strolls (weather permitting). • No kennels or crates — just freedom, fun, and friendship. • Flexible scheduling to match your dog’s needs. • Photo updates that make you feel right there with them. Book your pup’s playful getaway today — and give yourself the peace of mind (and worry-free downtime) you deserve! 🐾

Luisa was great with my nervous Penny and was great with communication. I will bring Penny back anytime she needs someone to watch her.

Luisa took great care of Hank and shared many wonderful updates during his stay! As first time clients, we were very appreciative of her availability for a meet and greet where Hank got meet a number of the other pups and get familiar with her space!
