Highlights
Pet care experience
Family Care. Trainer Expertise.
Family-style dog boarding in the Boise and Treasure Valley area where dogs are treated like part of the family, not placed in kennels. We intentionally keep a limited number of guests so every dog receives personalized attention, structured care, supervised play, and a comfortable home environment. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, plus professional training experience, we understand how to help dogs feel safe, confident, and at home while you’re away. Whether you have an energetic puppy, an active family companion, or a senior dog needing extra attention, our goal is simple: provide exceptional care and peace of mind for both you and your dog. Availability is limited, and many of our guests are repeat clients, so early reservations are encouraged.

NICOLE also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Nicole was wonderful to communicate with and a perfect caretaker for my dog and cat! Lots of photos and updates for the week I was gone. Highly recommend!
Nicole was absolutely great with my Pomsky named Oreo. I am hoping to use her again later this month once out of town again.
Nicole was amazing with my dog!! She kept me informed by text, photos and videos of how Spot was doing. She was very kind to my husband and I. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again!!
My pup had a great time staying here. Played with other dogs and loved playing with the kids!

Schedule
Your dog will enjoy a true home-away-from-home experience with plenty of companionship, structured play, enrichment, and relaxation throughout the day. We intentionally maintain a family environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the household, not treated like kennel guests. Because I work from home, your pup receives consistent supervision and personalized attention throughout their stay. Whether they thrive on play, enjoy quiet companionship, need medication, extra potty breaks, puppy support, or simply a comfortable place to relax, I adapt their care to meet their individual needs. With professional training experience and decades of hands-on dog care, I understand that every dog is unique. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely excited to return for their next stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. We take the time to learn your dog’s routines, preferences, and personality so their stay feels as familiar and seamless as possible. Whether your pup enjoys active play, quiet companionship, structured routines, or extra support during a transition, their care is tailored to their individual needs. From puppies building confidence to seniors who appreciate a gentler pace, every guest receives attentive supervision, personalized care, and plenty of affection throughout their stay.
A typical day
Your dog’s day is designed to balance exercise, enrichment, rest, and companionship. Mornings typically begin with a potty break, breakfast, and time to stretch, explore, and settle into the day at their own pace. Throughout the day, guests enjoy supervised play, outdoor time, enrichment activities, relaxation, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because I work from home, your pup benefits from consistent supervision and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. We maintain a structured yet relaxed household where dogs can feel secure, comfortable, and part of the family. Whether your pup thrives on activity, enjoys socializing, or prefers a quieter environment, their day is tailored to their personality, energy level, and individual needs. Evenings are focused on winding down with family time, cuddles, and a calm routine to help every guest feel safe, settled, and at home.
