Michael & Joanna

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!

My Munchkin had a great time here! Will definitely be bringing him more often. The details on how he was getting along and whether he was able to eat his meals is greatly appreciated! The pictures are so nice to have too especially in the beginning when you’re not sure if he will play right away. Yes he did! :)

These guys were great. Sent lots of pics and described Annie's goings on in a way that let us know they really paid attention to her. Annie looked great when we picked her up and I'll bet she enjoyed her vacation (all she every thinks about is snacks anyway!)

Benny had a great experience during his stay! I got plenty of picture/video updates and he was having fun with the other pups in all of them. He had so much fun that he fell asleep immediately after being picked up. He also received a little good bag with treats, a toy and a bandanna. He also had a fresh smell and no tear stains on his face. We will definitely be booking next time!

I couldn’t ask for a better place to put my Zylo! I got so many up to date pictures and progress for my baby. When I picked him up he was fresh and had some extra treats. You can’t go wrong with your dog in there care 10/10!

My dog preference is for small and medium breeds. They play very well with others and to ensure all of pets' safety and enjoyment during playtime.
