Pet care experience
Hi! We’re Michael and Joanna—best friends and lifelong dog lovers offering in-home boarding and daycare from our home. We specialize in caring for small dogs, especially those with separation anxiety who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. Michael has over 25 years of personal dog ownership experience, and Joanna brings 20 years of professional boarding experience. Together, we provide a calm, loving environment that helps dogs feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. We can also help with socialization and crate training as part of our daily routine. Every dog in our care is treated like family, with plenty of one-on-one attention and regular updates for pet parents. References are available upon request—we’d love to care for your pup!

Reviews

They were truly amazing!!!! Great communication and my baby girl has a blast!

Home away from home - Joanna was absolutely brilliant with our little girl Millie! This was our first time boarding her and we are so anxious but Joanna relieved all our fears. She provided fantastic care, followed every instructions and kept Millie happy and healthy. We got regular updates, photos and videos during our trip and Millie had so much fun with the other dogs. Joanna truly goes above and beyond for the little ones - she even gave Millie the cutest bandana and goodie bag before her return. We are so happy that we now have a place where Millie will get similar care as home and lots of pals to play with. We highly recommend Michael and Joanna and look forward to boarding Millie again with them.

Joanna was AMAZING. Our dog Bailey had the best time with her. She was fast to respond, shared loads of pictures and updates with us. She had amazing toys like a ball park and bubble machine. She was attentive at introducing new dogs and she even created cute pictures and sent Bailey back with his very own personalized bag and gifts. She truly loves dogs and it shows. Her house is a hotel and vacation for dogs. We will definitely be sending Bailey back.

Prince absolutely loves it when I bring him here while I’m away. Joanna always takes good care of my baby. Going above and beyond. Very much so appreciated. Will be rebooking again soon
