Pet care experience

your dog’s home away from home

Hi, I'm Rochelle, For many years, I've had the privilege of teaching in an elementary school, where I've enjoyed helping children learn, grow, and thrive. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, and that same passion extends to animals—especially dogs. As a wife and mom, I've reached a point where I want to build a career that allows me to spend more time at home with my family while doing something I truly love. My home is a place where dogs receive the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. My love for dogs comes from years of personal experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. One of my own beloved dogs became paralyzed and used a wheelchair, giving me firsthand experience caring for a dog with mobility challenges. That journey taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of providing individualized care. I also have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra comfort, gentleness, and attention they deserve as they age. My home is designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. Whether they're here for boarding or grooming, every dog is treated with kindness, respect, and individualized care. I strive to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at ease, no matter their age, personality, or special needs. Inspired by my own beloved dogs—Penny, , Quarter, and Bella. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are loved and cared for as if they were my own. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your dog's life. I can't wait to welcome you and your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

At my home your dog becomes part of our family from the moment they arrive. Each day begins with fresh air, outdoor time, and a walk. I am fortunate to live right next to beautiful Pacific Northwest hiking trails, which we love to frequent with our canine guests. These walks provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and opportunities to explore the sights and smells of nature. Back at home, dogs enjoy supervised play and socialization in my secure, fenced backyard, along with plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Every guest has their own comfortable space to relax and unwind, ensuring the perfect balance of activity and rest. For dogs who could use a little extra pampering before heading home, I also have a dedicated grooming area complete with a professional dog bathtub. I offer baths, light grooming, brushing, and nail trims to help your pup look and feel their best. Whether your dog is an energetic adventurer, a senior companion, or has special needs, I provide personalized care in a safe, loving home environment. At my home, every dog is treated like family—because every pup deserves a home away from home.

Before your dog's stay, I'd love to learn about any special needs, routines, medical conditions, allergies, medications, behavioral quirks, fears, or anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pup, the better I can provide personalized care and make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free.
