Your dog's home away from home!

Pet care experience

I own a home based business & provide pet care full time. I have an open kennel space for indoor play & a large, fenced in backyard for outdoor play where dogs are able to take potty breaks every 2 hours. Dogs are taken care of following the instructions you provide in a Booking Information form I ask all owners to submit. Kennels (or crates) are used during sleeping, feeding & dropoff/pickup for dogs’ safety. The amount of dogs I care for varies depending on the number of requests I receive, but my capacity is 16 dogs depending on their breed, weight & temperament. I have 20 years of experience taking care of dogs from different breeds ranging from 5 lbs to 150+ lbs. Unfortunately, my 8 year old Boston Terrier passed away in May of 2018; but he is the reason I do what I do & the inspiration behind my business Champ STRONG Kennels. While with me, your dog will definitely feel at home while they are away from home!

Whiskey loved his stay with Nakayla. She is very professional and communicative. Sent me lots of photos which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend her and would use her services very soon to take care of Whiskey!

Nakayla was the perfect choice for our Pritzie's 1st boarding and we will definitely be using her again in the near future.

Nakayla was a wonderful sitter for Hugo. She was very punctual in picking him up and dropping him off. She had all the equipment for his travels. She kept me informed daily with pics , which I loved. I could tell that he was very happy. I told her I was afraid he would not want to come back home. Lol. I will be using her services again.

Nakayla did an awesome job with Blu. It was our first time leaving him and he couldn't have been in better hands. If Nakayla is available during our away time, that's where Blu will be ?
