***Rates are based on your dog’s weight, and all dogs get one-on-one care with no other guests at the same time.*** Small (0-25 lbs): $40/night Medium (25-50 lbs): $55/night Large (50-80 lbs): $70/night Extra Large (80+ lbs): $85/night ***Bigger dogs mean more space, more exercise, and more hands-on care, so rates reflect that. Pets will be weighed at the meet and greet to confirm the exact rate before booking.*** DAY CARE: hours are from 9am to 4pm, any drop off or pick up outside of that window will be charged as a boarding rate. ABOUT ME: Turns out you can just become a dog person by accident. Mine happened with four big dogs — two shepherds, a pit mix, and a mastiff — before I even had my own dogs. My friends were paying me anyway so in 2018, signing up for Rover just made it official. Now I've got my own pack at home too: an 11-year-old corgi, an 8-year-old lab/pit mix, and our newest two additions, a 1-year-old 80-lb bulldog/boxer mix who's still figuring out he's not a lap dog and a 1 year old husky who doesn’t know how to bark. So I'm well-versed in couch-potato energy, "why is the zoomies happening at 11pm" energy, and everything in between. I only host one family's dogs at a time — no big crowds, no chaos, just chill vibes and your dog getting to be the main character for their stay. Let's just say if your dog's a lot, so are mine — we'll get along great. I also have two yards, if for some reason your pet needs their own space, I can accommodate that as well.

Ratings and reviews
Lupita and family took great care of our dog “Cow” and she sent daily pictures. She was responsive and concerned about our dogs well being. We would board with her again.
Great stay and excellent communication!!! Lupita and her family were amazing with my two Husky/Pointers!
Lupita and her husband were an absolute savior! Our sitter cancelled last minute and Lupita was able to accommodate within 24 hours. We have a pretty high maintenance Siberian Husky, and Lupita was extremely understanding of all his silly needs and his non-stop energy. We were away for 3 days, and Lupita sent about 10 photos per day of our crazy boy. Would absolutely book again and will recommend to anyone looking for a responsible safe place for their dog to visit.
Harper had a great time when she stayed with Lupita! She came home happy and tired. It was great to receive so many updates and pictures during her stay too. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun place to board their dogs. She was also accommodating to pick up and drop off times which was super helpful!
Lupita and her husband saved me! I had a last minute cancellation from another sitter and they graciously allowed Dallas into their home with less than 24 hours notice. Not only that but they sent me so many pictures and updates, which is very appreciated when you’re missing your best friend. Lastly, they went above and beyond with a little send off package for Dallas. I will most defiantly be re-booking with Lupita!!
This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Tito, but it did not take long for Lupita to ease our nerves. It was easy to see how happy and loved Tito was during his stay with all of the constant updates (pics and video) as well as how smiley and tired he was after picking him up. Lupita and her husband were super receptive to Tito's high maintenance needs (special diet restrictions) - they truly went above and beyond and it is easy to see how much they love fur babies. We're already raving to friends and family, and look forward to having Tito stay with Lupita again!

Schedule
My schedule shifts a bit week to week, but pet care always comes first. I'm home most of the time, hanging out with everyone. Occasionally, I have an appointment and need to step out. In those cases, my pets and guests stay in their secured crates until I'm back, usually just a few hours. No long stretches alone, no guesswork.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Their safety and comfort come first, always. I ask a lot of questions before a stay so I actually understand a dog's routine, behavior, and needs, not just the basics. My yard's fenced, so outside time is secure. My own dogs are crate trained, and I treat their crate as their safe space, not a punishment. Guest dogs get that same setup: a secure spot that's just theirs, so they always have somewhere to feel calm and settled. I pay close attention to body language. If there's any tension or overstimulation, I step in fast and separate dogs right away. I keep owners in the loop, too. If something comes up during a stay, I reach out and we handle it together.
Pets
A typical day
Meals, potty breaks, and fresh water: all whenever they need it. No rigid schedule here. I'm in the garden a lot, so guests get plenty of yard time while I'm out there doing my own thing. Close enough to keep an eye on them but not hovering. If they want to play, we play. Mental stimulation, maybe some fetch, or the hose if it's a hot day and they're into that. If they'd rather nap, that's just as good. I let them set the pace.
