Boarding • Sep 03, 2026

Ryan and Michelle responded to my texts and booking request quickly and thoughtfully, despite some of my shortcomings. They arranged my dog’s introduction to their space so that my pup could feel at ease - they allowed her to explore their home on her own terms and and introduced their dogs to her one at a time. They also took their time to listen as I shared information about my girl and they answered my questions with suggestions of how they could meet her needs. Their space felt serene and they both communicated with a calm and kind presence. This allowed me to feel relaxed in their home and peaceful about where I was leaving my girl. Though my dog is middle-aged, this was our first time leaving her with someone she didn’t know. During her time at their home, Ryan and Michelle were able to identify my pups unanticipated needs and the family adjusted their routines to support her while she was in their care. When I returned, they were very welcoming of my arrival and were organized with the transition. They took their time to talk to me about my pups experience, answer my questions and make me feel like my pup would always be welcome back in their home!

So thankful to find Ryan and Michelle. They are super nice and we’re so kind to care for our standard poodle for a day while we had to rent a U-Haul and pick up some things at my mother’s house three hours away. It was great to know we left him in good hands! We hope they will take Kobi again!

Our dogs were so well taken care of and we could really relax while being away. We would definitely leave our dogs here again!

Ryan and Michelle were great! Teddy had a lot of fun with them and their pack, and he seemed well loved.
