Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🏡🐾
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.

Ratings and reviews
Marianne and her kids took great care of Nanook as always! Nanook was very happy to see them
My pups love going to Marianne’s. They come home happy and tired. 🥰
My dogs had a blast and Marianne is so good about sending updates during the day..
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!
Marianne is always so responsive and takes great care of our pup! And her kids are so sweet to her!

Schedule
My schedule is generally flexible and I am confident that we can create a plan to meet your pets needs. Additionally, my husband helps with the dogs when he is home on evenings and weekends.

Safety, trust & environment
The health and safety of your pet is always my priority . You will need to provide a copy of your pet’s veterinary information including up to date rabies verification and a letter giving me permission to seek veterinary treatment in the event of an emergency. -I require a emergency contact (friend or relative) who are aware of your travel and that they may be contacted in the event of an emergency. -Dogs must have the following vaccinations, (please provide a copy of the record via rover profile for your dog or bring a copy with you. * DHLPP Booster * Rabies * Kennel Cough * We accept Titers There is a 10-day wait for a dog that has had the Kennel Cough vaccination for the first time, or if the old vaccination has expired. No pet is admitted on the day they receive a vaccination. *Puppies do not apply to all of these but they need to be update on vaccinations and age appropriate veterinary care. *any dog coming into my care needs to be in good health.
