Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy Parents

We provide loving, low-volume care in a calm home environment, each dog gets personal attention, patience, and a routine that fits their needs. We have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including shy, sensitive, and senior pets. We are good at reading stress signals, keeping feeding and walking routines consistent, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. Our home has plenty of space, about 4,600 sq ft, and a large backyard for supervised play. For extra safety, each boarding dog wears a GPS tracker during their stay. Your pet will not be “one of many.” They will be cared for like family.

Harley & Michael took great care of our dog! Their beautiful home was clean and well kept with plenty of room. Communication was great, pictures and videos were sent everyday and I would highly recommend and would book them again! 😊

Michael and Harley were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of my dog, sending daily updates with photos and videos that gave me total peace of mind. They made sure he got his daily walks and were incredibly accommodating throughout the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with them again!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine because my partner and I both work from home. At least one of us is usually home during the day, so pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We keep our bookings limited to provide a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of attention. This is especially helpful for pets who do best with routine, supervision, and a comfortable home setting.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, comfort, and trust are our top priorities. Each boarding pet wears a GPS tracker for extra peace of mind, and all outdoor time is supervised. Our care style is patient, gentle, and low-stress, which is especially helpful for shy pets, seniors, or dogs who do best with routine. We follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, playtime, and sleep routines.

A typical day

We keep activities fun, safe, and based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, we enjoy daily walks, supervised backyard play, fetch, tug, sniff breaks, treat games, and plenty of cuddles. We also add simple enrichment like puzzle toys, hide-and-seek treats, and short basic cue practice to keep them mentally engaged. For shy pets or seniors, we keep activities gentle, calm, and low-stress so they can enjoy their stay at their own pace. For cats, we offer interactive play, treat games, and quiet bonding time based on their comfort level.
