Highlights
Pet care experience
Nature retreat for your pets
Since 1978 we have been in the pet service industry. We are secluded on a mountain in the forest away from all the hectic traffic and noise. A stay with us is a nature retreat for your companion. Former German shepherd breeders now offering boarding, sitting, training, products, and even custom built items all from our home. Highly experienced with large, difficult, and special needs dogs. Leash pullers, and reactive dogs are not a problem. All exercise and interaction is one on one. We use only our highly social and trained dogs for any play if the customer wants. 3rd generation trainer that has studied canine behavior, wolves, wolfdogs, and even spent extensive time with wolves. My wife is a licensed vet tech with over 15 years experience in general practice, emergency, and now specializes in canine dentistry. We care for your pet as if they are family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
They were able to take my Dog and Cat on short notice and took good care of both. A little out of the way but lots of land in wooded area for you dog to explore.
We always choose Richard & Kelly when we need to leave our dogs. They are genuinely happy to see Richard when we drop off and always look at him when pick them up. Overjoyed to see us, but not desperate to leave.
Richard is very friendly and great with dogs. Fantastic environment, clean facility, location is awesome for outdoor dogs with plenty of space to roam and adventure. Absolutely love this sitter!
First time away from home. We were both anxious. Nala enjoyed the walk in the woods and she was happy and healthy when we picked her up
Went above and beyond in the snow to help last minute. Looking forward to better weather visit.
A fantastic place and service! I highly recommend Richard for dog boarding.

Schedule
I work from home so am around most of the time. This is my profession so we can provide more than part time care. My wife is a licensed vet tech and also assists me here. We do have normal hours of operation though to allow us get all daily activities completed. Our regular hours are M-F 8am-5pm Sat-Sun 9am -3pm. If you need hours outside of these, we may be able to assist. For safety reasons we do not allow dropoff/pickup before sunrise or after sunset.
