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.

Ratings and reviews
Nicole did great job loving and housing our dog
Nicole was an absolute angel! We booked her to watch our pups while we were at the hospital from out of town for our son’s birth. From the second our dogs met her they were big fans of hers. She gave us such piece of mind and we will be forever grateful 💙
Nicole was very attentive and kept me updated on my pupps! Plus videos and pics to keep me happy :)
She was responsive to messages and our girl looked happy!
My doggos had a great time with Nicole and family. Highly recommend
Nicole was simply amazing! The place we had originally booked got a hold of us about 48 hours before we would leave for our trip to tell us that they no longer had room for our boy. Nicole immediately told us not to worry that she would love to care for him. She kept us updated throughout the entire trip with pictures and videos and our boy came back happy and well cared for. As long as she’s available, we’re looking forward to booking with her again in the future.

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.
