Lots of Love Small Dog Resort

Please don't take your fur babies to a kennel! Bring them here where they will receive lots of love and play-time with humans and with other small dogs. Our family loves dogs and also love to meet their owners. We have been fostering and rescuing dogs with a local rescue since 2014. Dog people are our favorite kind of people. We have boarded over 100 dogs since we first began boarding in August 2015 and it has been a wonderful experience for all of our family! We have 2 small dogs of our own that we adopted from local rescues and have also fostered many small dogs, some with special needs. We have areas inside that are gated off as well as crates if you have a dog that needs to be crated at night. We also let dogs sleep in bed with us if that is what they are used to. **We can only host dogs under 30 pounds** We love big dogs, but our dogs are afraid of them. For house-sitting, Norma or Eric will be in your home to care for your pets from 7pm to noon the next day. We can make some adjustments for time as needed, but we cannot stay in your home for a full 24 hours if it is more than one night's stay. Our huge yard is enclosed with a 6 foot tall fencing for when our guests need to go outside and we can also crate your dog if needed. SE HABLA ESPAÑOL!

Boarding • juil. 16, 2026

I am sooo glad that I found Norma! My senior chiweenie is my absolute fur baby and has only been with family. He also has some special needs when it comes to his diet since he only has like 7 teeth left. I can’t leave him at a regular daycare or kennel cause it would over stress him and trigger his collapse trachea coughing. Norma was the answer to my prayers. She only takes little dogs and has great experience with dogs like mine. We were able to go on our family trip in confidence that he was well taken care of and she sent up daily updates. Thank you Norma and family for your great care and love of Okie.

Norma took very good care of my Little guy! He played and had fun. I know this because he napped a lot after we got home. Thanks Norma.

Norma was absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home and watched our three dogs. We have one senior dog in diapers and she handled it with such kindness and compassion. We got daily updates and she truly went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were cared for while we were gone. We will 100000% book with Norma again!!!

Pets

A typical day

Our family loves to spoil dogs. We love to play outside with them, cuddle with them, let them sleep in bed with us, or sit on the couch with us. We will treat your dog as one of our own. Unless an owner wants their dog crated, the dogs in our home have access to all of our living area. Our stairs leading to the second floor are barred by a safety gate so that the dogs don't roam around upstairs.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Norma can host up to 5 pets per night
Please make sure your pups are up to date with their vaccines. We will also need to know their feeding and sleep schedule as well as contact info for your vet. We can board ALL small breeds under 30 pounds. We can't board large breeds, but we can however house-sit them. :-)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
