Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pup’s Cozy Home away from Home
Looking for something a little more personal than a traditional kennel? I provide a comfortable, home-style boarding experience in a private, cozy sidebarn where your dog can relax, play, and be treated like part of the family while you’re away. I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I focus on providing individual attention and a low-stress environment tailored to each guest.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs enjoy time in the secure fenced areas and, when appropriate, supervised opportunities to explore the five acres of woods. They also have quiet time to rest and relax in the private, cozy side barn.
Pets
A typical day
Whether your pup wants to explore the woods, play outside, make a new dog friend, curl up for a nap, or relax in their private sidebarn, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. ❤️
