Welcome! Our home is a peaceful, low-key retreat perfect for gentle, easy-going dogs who prefer thoughtful playtime in the yard and cuddling on the couch to running a marathon. We specialize in providing a calm, enriching environment where your best friend will receive dedicated, one-on-one attention. For the health and safety of all our furry guests, we do require visiting pets to be up-to-date on their vaccinations. As a former veterinary technician with years of dog training experience, I'm uniquely equipped to provide the specialized care your pet deserves. Our Low-Stress Environment is Ideal For: Adult and senior dogs of all sizes up to large size. Dogs who are couch potatoes at heart. Pets requiring medication or special diets (including raw feeding). Dogs with behavioral quirks who need a patient, understanding host. Guests who prefer to be the only dog in the home. Your Pet's Stay Includes: Expert Care: All medications (pills, injections, etc.) are included at no extra charge. Enrichment & Play: We focus on positive, motivational activities, yard play, and indoor enrichment rather than strenuous exercise. A Pet-Friendly Home: Our house has easy-to-clean surfaces, comfy leather couches for lounging, and a secure, 5'+ solid-fenced organic yard. For extra safety, we have a double-door system leading outside. Comforts of Home: We provide toys, treats, stainless steel bowls, and slow feeders, but you are always welcome to bring your pet's favorite comforts. My Experience & Philosophy My background is rooted in a deep love and understanding of dogs. My beloved Shiloh Shepherds and I were once active in everything from search and rescue to agility. That extensive experience in the world of dog sports taught me the power of positive reinforcement and motivational training, a philosophy I apply to every pet I care for. It's all about building trust and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. (And I'm especially partial to the pitbull breed!) Logistics Household: We have no children and few visitors, ensuring a quiet environment. While I work during the day, my mother is home to provide midday potty breaks and companionship, so your pet is rarely alone. Drop-off/Pick-up: Weekday drop-off is typically after 6:30 pm. We can be flexible, so let's chat! Meet & Greet: I require a brief meet-and-greet with all new clients to ensure we are the perfect fit for your pet's needs and personality. My services are not a business but a heartfelt expression of my love for our best friends. I offer a 10% discount for rescue dogs and donate a portion of my proceeds to animal rescues. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful companion!
