Dog loving home w/large fenced yard

I have a love for animals in particular dogs. I have had big and small dogs all of my life. I have a big home with a large fenced yard and lots of play spaces for dogs who prefer privacy. All dogs sleep inside where I have baby gates and lots of fun areas . I have experience with nervousness and shelter dogs. All first time clients receive a free hand made doggy bandana and all of the proceeds from your tips go to the “Race for Autism 2027"

Raquel was such a pleasure to have watching our dog Belle. We were updated daily and you could tell they gave a lot of love and extra care. Our family will book again.

Raquel was a pleasure to work with and took excellent care of Kona. It’s a great feeling to have peace of mind when you’re out of town and leaving your dog in someone else’s hands, and Raquel gave us exactly that. Definitely recommend!

Raquel exceeded our expectations! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and she immediately gave us the peace of mind we needed. She took such amazing care of Jameson and kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that Jameson was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for throughout his stay. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Raquel gave him. Thank you so much, Raquel! We wouldn’t hesitate to have Jameson stay with you again!

Kirby had a wonderful stay and was clearly well cared for! We really appreciated the cute picture updates throughout her stay and knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you also for the adorable scarf. It was such a thoughtful touch, and Kirby looks so cute in it! We would definitely book again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small dog who loves company and lots of room both indoor and outdoors. I keep a clean, calm, and safe environment at all times. We have baby gates in every bedroom and different areas of our home.

Pets

A typical day

I have lots of toys and shaded fenced back yard as well as a large grassy front yard that dogs can explore. The front yard has green grass and trees. We have doggy pool days, movie nights and bubble parties. I have special music to calm puppies during nap time and at night as well. We do daily photo sessions during treat training time . Please see my daily schedule for reference. We only take 3-4 pups per night, each pup sleeps in a bedroom and gets individual attention. I have very limited availability for meet and greets due to a high demand in request for boarding. Please read my reviews and see my profile pictures, all pictures are of my home.

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or allergies, separation anxiety, is reactive to other pups . My back yard is free of grass for any dogs that are allergic. Also let me know if your dog is social with other dogs or prefers their own space. Our home is very spacious and each room has baby gates, tell me any personality traits to help us better understand your fur baby.
