Highlights
Pet care experience
Holistic resort for small dogs!
People food? We make 100% organic home cooked custom meals. Our property has low EMFs, and we take it a step further with PEMF mats and red light therapy for our guests. Our furniture, bed, couch, etc. are all grounded so your pups will stay relaxed, comfortable, and healthy. Our yard is organic (we never spray any chemicals), and there’s a safe, large fenced yard to play in. Your dog will be entertained, comfortable, loved, and grounded as they relax and rejuvenate here. Sanitation: We use all natural food grade hydrogen peroxide and ozone to keep the environment clean. We’re the best place for small dogs. We only board small dogs (about 35lbs or under, but we may consider larger dogs on a case-by-case basis if they are very gentle). We don't take in too many dogs so that we can ensure individual attention. Your dog is not just a dog to us. They will be loved and welcomed into our home as family. My partner Andrea and myself both work from home, so there is virtually always someone home for supervision (we may on rare occasions both go out for a quick errand). If you prefer, we can take your dog with us if we have to do an errand. Your dog will get lots of love and attention here. We are easily reachable and we keep you updated with daily pictures and videos. We know your dog will enjoy their stay at our resort (some have even reported to us that they were afraid their dog wouldn't want to come home). We love basic play such as walks and playing fetch, but we also have unique offerings such as red light therapy and PEMF mats if requested.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Michael and Andrea were so good to my nervous rescue pup. Their calm environment was a perfect match for Lemon. They went above and beyond. Super great with updates and communication. I would absolutely recommend Michael and Andrea to everyone looking for a dog setter. I also liked that they will only care for one dog at a time. My dog gets very stressed out being around other dogs. It was amazing to find a setter that honored my dog’s needs. Thanks guys!
Michael took such amazing care of my dogs. He organized a meet and greet beforehand, and from that moment my dogs absolutely loved him and his wife. We chose them because they have a large, fenced yard and they both work from home, which made a huge difference since my dogs were always accompanied and never left alone. Michael kept me updated with photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend them, and I would definitely book with them again if needed.
I travel for work and cannot take Mozart with me. Mozart got bit at a previous sitter's house, which made me nervous about finding another one butMichael and his wife were amazing with Mozart. They made him and I feel welcomed and comfortable. I received a plethora of updates, videos, and pictures. He even made a friend while with them. This was a completely better experience than I had at the another sitters house. Super happy to have found them. And we will be back
Michael was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for my two pups, Teddy and Charlie. From the moment he arrived, it was clear how comfortable and happy they felt around him. He was patient, attentive, and truly treated them like his own.Throughout their stay, he kept me updated with messages, photos, and little notes about their day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy and Charlie got plenty of walks, playtime, and affection, and it showed—they were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring sitter. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals. Teddy, Charlie, and I will definitely be booking him again! 🐾
Once again Michael was amazing! Gizmo feels right at home here. They go out of their way to take special care of him. He is great at communicating and sending pictures and videos!
Michael went above and beyond for Gizmo! I cannot say enough good things about Gizmo’s experience. They treated him like family and gave him the special attention he needs as a disabled dog. We have already rebooked!

Schedule
We are open and available for boarding 24/7. Andrea and I both work from home and your dog becomes part of our family while they are here, and we look forward to seeing them again when they go home. They follow us everywhere around the house and are allowed on all the furniture. We are really into natural health and cooking. We have about 20 years experience cooking for dogs. If requested you can rest well knowing that your dog will get real food like they deserve (packaged dog food isn't good).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not crate, cage, or kennel a dog ever. Your dog will have free reign of our house and fenced in yard and always have company. They are allowed on all the furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed with us if they want to. If requested we also have unique servies such as natural and organic flea control, bathing with Dr. Bronner's soap, nutritious homemade meals, red light therapy, and pemf therapy (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy). I am a practioner of yoga and many other holistic healing arts and I offer the many of the same lessons to our animal companions.
A typical day
The dogs we care for provide us with great company and they make our house much brighter. The right dogs for us are usually small dogs or senior dogs that enjoy our simple routines: playing in the yard, sitting on our laps, sniffing around the yard, going to the beach or Starkey Park. We have lots of toys and our guests enjoy playing fetch and showing off their tricks to us. As previously mentioned, (if requested) we also have unique offerings such such as organic non-toxic flea control, nutritious organic homemade meals, red light therapy, pemf therapy, etc.
