Pet care experience
A Safe, Spacious Retreat for Dogs!
We have always had pets, and we truly love them! We're a fun, dog-loving family with two Standard Poodles who enjoy making new friends. For the safety and comfort of all dogs, I do not bring my own dogs out during meet-and-greets. Meeting in a new environment can be overwhelming, and dogs are often excited and distracted. There may also be other dogs boarding during your visit. Just like at a traditional boarding facility, introductions are made thoughtfully once your dog's stay begins to help ensure a safe, smooth, and low-stress transition for everyone, including me. 🙂 I also do not invite families into my home during meet-and-greets. Instead, I provide clear videos of all of the high-traffic areas where your dog will spend their time, and we review those together during your visit. This allows you to see exactly where your dog will eat, play, relax, and sleep while also respecting the privacy and safety of my home, family, and the dogs currently in my care. I completely understand that every pet parent has a different comfort level when choosing care for their dog. If my process doesn't leave you feeling completely comfortable, I may simply not be the best fit, and that's okay. I truly believe you should feel 100% confident and at ease with whoever you choose to care for your pup. Finally, we do require up-to-date vaccination records as part of our commitment to providing a safe and healthy environment for all of our dog guests.

Ratings and reviews
Monique is amazing. So grateful for her care with our old girl!
Amazing as always!
She takes good care of our dogs. She cares for the dogs individual needs. I got many updates and pictures of how my dog was doing. Her house and property are set up especially for the dogs she cares for, she gets back to me quickly.
Monique takes such great care of Piper, we are so comfortable leaving her and know she will come home a happy and tired pup!
Amazing and communicative as usual!
We’re so thankful for the great care Buck receives! He always comes home happy and tired, which tells us he gets plenty of playtime and attention. It gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Thank you, Monique, for taking such wonderful care of him!

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m with the pups the majority of the day. Whether I’m at my desk or out in the yard, your dog is part of my daily routine. If I need to step out for errands, dogs are never left unattended. Depending on their needs and behavior, they are either safely secured behind gates or placed in a kennel — but only if they’ve been assessed to need one for their safety and comfort. I observe each dog closely during their first visit to determine what setup makes them feel most secure and relaxed. Every pup has their own space to unwind, and I make sure they always feel safe, cared for, and right at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. Our dogs use an invisible fence, but we’ll be outside walking your pup on a leash anytime they’re out exploring around. We have 2 acres with lots of space for sniffing, strolling, and sunbathing, plus 50 ft leads for our friends who aren’t reliable off-leash. We also have a HUGE fenced-in play area where pups can run, zoom, and burn off energy safely. After experiencing a fence jumper (don’t worry — he’s home safe!), I’ve added a 3-foot height extension to our fence and now use temporary Apple AirTags on guest dogs as an extra layer of safety. These little upgrades help ensure your pup stays safe, and give both of us peace of mind. If you’d prefer your dog not wear an AirTag, just let me know — happy to accommodate! Additionally, we require up-to-date immunization records as part of our commitment to the health and safety of all our guests. Cancellation & Early Pickup Policy I totally understand that plans can change, and I do my best to be flexible while also protecting the time and space reserved for your pup. Boarding, House Sitting & Drop-Ins You’ll receive a full refund if you cancel by noon, 7 days before your booking starts. After that, you’ll get a 50% refund for the first 7 canceled days, and 100% back for any days beyond that. Daycare & Dog Walks You’ll receive a full refund if you cancel by noon, 3 days before the scheduled service. After that, the same 50% refund for the first 7 days applies, and 100% for the rest. Early Pickups Because your dog’s spot was held just for them and couldn’t be booked by anyone else, I don’t offer refunds for early pickups. Thanks so much for understanding! I always aim to provide the best care and flexibility I can, while making sure everything runs smoothly for all the pups in my care.

A typical day
We start our days quite early and head out for potty time and then breakfast. We share many toys and play fetch with our dog friends. I can proudly say that many of our friends don't want to leave after their visit. ❤️☺️
