I work from home and love being surrounded by dogs. I provide constant supervision while your dog is visiting. Someone will always be with the pack except for brief breaks to run an errand or take a potty break. I work remotely from home as a business and career coach. So, I am home all day and I have a housemate who is my assistant pack pal to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and well taken care of during their entire visit with us. Dogs in our care are never left unattended for longer than a couple of hours at most. Safety and socialization are our priorities. We have designated drop off and pick up times of 7:30 am - 9am drop offs and 4 - 6 pm pick ups. We provide a large clean, safe, comfortable indoor space for dogs to play, lounge, and get lots of tummy rubs. There is also a large covered patio area and fenced in yard for pups to play outside and get their zoomies on. We will feed dogs according to their routine and owners' requests. We will give approved treats to visiting pack pals on owner's approval. We provide a safe, clean and safe environment and routine for pups to play or rest and relax, and make friends under supervised socialization that provides them with strong leadership and safety.

Safety, trust & environment

We welcome new pack pals into our home as if they were one of our furry family members. We don't use crates or kennels. Everyone is treated like an honored guest and given space to roam and relax in a cozy home environment. My home is definitely a dog house with doggy beds and toys everywhere and a huge fenced in yard for them to play in. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please. The entire doggy den is supplied with lots of comfortable dog beds and a doggy couch for dogs to nap and sleep. We don't use crates of kennels, unless a doggy parent has crate trained their dog and prefers that we crate their dog at night to sleep. Dogs are given a nice balance of a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor space to play and sleep over, as well as a fenced in dog yard and covered patio for potty breaks and play time in the sunshine. We also subscribe to a pooper scooper service that comes monthly to keep the yard clean and healthy.

Information Rayana S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you pup has special needs ahead of time. We require all new clients to schedule a Meet & Greet first before adding new pups to the pack. All pack pals who visit us MUST be friendly with ALL other dogs. This reduces stress for everyone and make sure everyone is safe. If your dog may be sick, please do not bring them to the pack until they are feeling better. We require that all pack pals are current on their vaccinations and that they are spayed or neutered and that they are treated for ticks and fleas.

A typical day

We provide a nice spacious indoor and outdoor doggy home for younger more energetic dogs get to play, do zoomies around the fenced in yard, play inside in a cool air conditioned home environment with other friendly, healthy, well-behaved dogs. We also have foundness in our hearts for the oldie but goodies to have a safe place to rest and relax stress free. I will love your pups as if they are my own. I can also provide minimum training if needed or to support training you are doing with your dog. There is a lot of space for them to play and relax and spread out so they all have their own space to do whatever they want and each dog's space is respected.

Your Dog's Home Away from Home

Pet care experience

I speak dog. I am a natural born doggie mom. Dogs like me and I like them. We just get each other. I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by dogs. Twenty years ago I started up a pet care company on a fluke, just for fun, and it took off like gangbusters and grew to be the second largest pet care company in that town. Then I sold it to a single mom who had been working with me when I moved out of the area. I have started businesses from scratch and grown them using processes, systems and technology to stay organized and professional. I limit the number of dogs I care for so that they all get individualized attention. I also make sure that any dogs that join the pack are screened to make sure they are healthy and friendly with all the other dogs so everyone gets along. It is my intention to provide your furry family member a comfy, cozy home away from home.

Rayana was fantastic. Treated my dog as if he were her own. I got pictures throughout the day, and when I was late picking him up she even fed him a nice dinner. Will definitely be coming to her in the future!

rayana was amazing with our pups. She took great care of them and love them while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures of them often, it faces us peace of mind to know they had someone who genuinely cares. I will be coming back to her again for sure.

Rayana was great! She took excellent care of my 10 year old pup while I was out of town for 9 days. I got daily photo updates and knew she was in good hands.
