Please plan to bring enough of your dog’s regular food for their stay, along with something familiar from home such as a favorite toy or blanket. This helps your pup feel comfortable and settled. Before your dog’s visit, please share any relevant information about their routine, behavior, or special needs—such as separation anxiety, health concerns, or unique quirks. Because there are children and other dogs in my home, I can only host dogs who are well-socialized, non-aggressive, and comfortable in a family environment. To keep all dogs safe and relaxed, I feed guests separately and supervise all interactions closely. I’m unable to accept dogs who are food- or territory-aggressive, or who require the use of doggy diapers. All dogs staying here should be able to move around the home safely, including climbing stairs, and should not have major ongoing health issues. I’m able to administer most medications, supplements, or vitamins as directed. If your dog takes anti-anxiety or SSRI medication, please discuss this with me ahead of time so I can fully understand their needs and ensure the best care plan for them. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Thank you for helping me provide a calm and happy environment for all pets in my care. Because I only host a limited number of dogs at a time, bookings reserve that space specifically for your pet. My calendar and cancellation policy help ensure I can provide reliable care for every family I work with. While many dogs adjust well to a new environment, some experience significant anxiety when away from home or separated from their primary people. For the safety and well-being of everyone in the household, it’s important that owners are transparent about any history of separation anxiety, escape behaviors, excessive barking, destructive behavior, or difficulty settling when left alone or behind gates/crates. I’m happy to work with dogs who may need a little extra adjustment time, but severe anxiety behaviors may not be the best fit for my home-based setup, especially during longer stays. Trial daycare visits and honest communication beforehand help ensure the best experience for both your dog and my household.

We love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged! Between play sessions in our fenced backyard and peaceful walks on open-space trails, your pup will enjoy plenty of fresh air and stimulation. We play fetch, explore new scents on walks, and make time for mental enrichment through games and gentle training reinforcement. And of course, there’s always room for cozy cuddles and quiet companionship when it’s time to relax.
