The Doxie Whisperer

Our hearts (and home) belong to miniature dachshunds. We have spent over two decades loving and caring for this special breed. Our journey began with two littermate dachshunds who were part of our family for 17 wonderful years. Today, we share our lives with two more littermate dachshunds who are just over four years old. Through these years, we’ve gained hands on experience caring for dachshunds at every life stage—from energetic puppies to senior companions.

We boarded our pup here for 3 days and had a wonderful experience. This is an excellent spot for small dogs, there are plenty of other dogs to interact and play with, so your pup will never be bored. Nick is incredibly knowledgeable and even took the time to guide us on puppy training basics. He shared photos and videos everyday which made us comfortable as well. The play area is spacious and well-maintained for dogs of all sizes. Highly recommend!

Thank you Nick for watching Muffin! This was my first time using Rover and Nick is a great person to board dogs with.

This was my first time having Nick watch Archie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly attentive and kept me updated every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Archie came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with him; would absolutely book with Nick again!

Schedule

I work from home full time, which means your pup is never left unattended or set on a schedule that doesn’t fit their needs. My “office” is wherever the dogs are—most often at our kitchen island—allowing for plenty of one on one attention throughout the day. This setup provides consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and training moments naturally woven into the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Dachshunds have unique physical needs, particularly when it comes to protecting their backs and joints. Our home has been thoughtfully designed as a true Doxie paradise—a calm, secure space built specifically with their safety in mind. To prevent jumping and unnecessary strain, dogs do not have access to furniture and all stairs are blocked or gated. Our backyard is double fenced and features premium artificial pet turf, along with commercial grade shade sails to keep pups cool and comfortable during the summer months. A doggie door leads to a fully enclosed, predator proof outdoor dog run with a small doghouse and shaded cover—your pup’s own personal safe space. Should we ever need to step out briefly, all dogs are safely crated to ensure their wellbeing.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day at our Doxie paradise is filled with affection, enrichment, and fun. Expect plenty of tummy rubs, supervised playtime, and activities designed to engage both body and mind. We love using puzzle games to stimulate curious little brains, and for pups who enjoy digging, our indoor iDig puzzle mat is always a favorite. Weather permitting, we spend time running, exploring, and playing together in the yard. On special occasions, we may head out for a gentle adventure to a farmers market, quiet park, or other pet friendly destination designed for enrichment and enjoyment. For all outings, we use a large pet stroller so everyone stays safe, secure, and comfortable at all times.

A Note on Breed Specialization: We proudly specialize in dachshund care, as this is the breed we know and love best. Other small, similar breeds may be considered on a case by case basis, provided they are a good fit for our environment and care philosophy. Please note: All dogs must be fully up to date on vaccinations. We also kindly ask that clients avoid dog parks or environments with large groups of dogs prior to their stay, to help keep everyone healthy and safe.
