Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🏡🐾

Pet care experience

As a husband-and-wife team, we provide personalized, attentive care in a loving home environment. We treat every dog like a member of our family, and our children enjoy helping care for our furry guests by providing plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We intentionally keep our boarding small, typically hosting only 1–2 dogs at a time. This allows us to give each guest the individual attention they deserve while maintaining a calm, comfortable atmosphere. Social dogs who enjoy spending time with people and other friendly dogs tend to thrive here. For the safety and well-being of all pets in our care, we are unable to accept dogs with aggression, significant behavioral challenges, or a history of escaping fenced yards. In those situations, we recommend a professional boarding kennel that is better equipped to meet those needs. Meet & Greets We require a 15–20 minute meet & greet for all new clients before confirming a first booking. This gives us an opportunity to get to know you and your dog, discuss your pet’s routine and care needs, and ensure that our home is the right fit. Boarding Trial For boarding stays, we strongly recommend scheduling a one-night trial stay before any extended reservation. This allows your dog to become familiar with our home, family, and routine while giving both of us the opportunity to make sure everyone is comfortable before a longer stay. If you’re looking for a safe, comfortable home where your dog will be treated like family—not just another boarding guest—we would love the opportunity to care for them. Additional Policies • Mature dogs must be spayed or neutered. (This requirement does not apply to puppies who have not yet reached the appropriate age for the procedure.) • For their safety and to support successful house training, puppies are required to sleep in a crate or playpen overnight and whenever they cannot be directly supervised.

Marianne was amazing! She welcomed my two little Shih Tzus into her home and treated them like they were part of the family. I got a few pictures during the day and could see how relaxed my pups were with her. Highly recommend!
