Availability
Our family is available to care for your dog 24/7! Pup care is my main gig and I have a flexible schedule. Being home with your pup or keeping them by my side is my priority. Because we only take a maximum of 2 dogs at a time, you can leave your pup knowing they are getting highly individualized care. Please note, if our calendar is showing availability, there is a chance we have 1 other dog booked who has been pre-screened to socialize well with other dogs.

About Sarah & Travis K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our big yard has lots of space to play, however it is not fenced so we will never leave your dog outside unattended. In our home your dog will be loved and cared for as our own and we will do everything we can to make them feel comfortable. We are happy to accommodate your dog's regular routine to help make the transition as easeful as possible. Our cat, R2D2, generally ignores dogs and spends his nights outside but if your dog has a strong prey drive or tendency to chase cats, they might not be the best fit.

Information Sarah & Travis K. would like to know about your pet
Please tell us about any special needs, dietary restrictions or behaviors we should know about your dog. We also want to know your dog's routine, keeping things as consistent as possible will help your dog settle in more comfortably. Please also share with us how your dog is with other dogs, animals, and children. The more we know about your dog, the more we can help them feel at home!
A typical day
We always start our days with a big morning hike, typically around a lake or up a mountain, ideally off leash, if possible! Then it's back home for naps and lunch while I putter around and attend to mom-life. Typically I bring pups with me to pick up the kids from school or run errands when it makes sense and is safely possible. Then we're out again for an afternoon walk before dinner. We go out one more time before bed, and we always provide lots of opportunities to toilet throughout the day. There is almost always someone at home, so your pup will rarely (if ever) be left alone, and if so, never more than an hour or two. Outside of the daily routine, we enjoy going on regular family hikes, visits to lakes and beaches for a swim, or kicking the ball around at the park. We love the opportunity that having a dog around provides to get us out and active as a family!

A Family Stay with Care and Play!
Pet care experience
Your pup will never get bored at our house! We know that a TIRED dog is a HAPPY dog. That's why we make it a priority to exercise and stimulate our furry friends first thing, and throughout the day, every day. There is nothing more satisfying than a calm, tired dog! We are a dog loving family with two sons, ages 11 and 14, with many years of experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am a stay at home mom and Travis works from home 3 out 5 days, so your pup will never be lonely. I love the excuse to get out for early morning hikes and the opportunity to walk as a family after school and in the evenings. We have a large property with lots of space to run and play and multiple beaches, including a dog park, within walking distance. And there will be no shortage of cuddles and stimulation at our house - the kids love to play and engage with all dogs. Who knows? Your pooch may even come home with some new tricks! We are comfortable with all ages, breeds and sizes and we are confident and experienced dog handlers. We truly care about providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for every dog who stays with us. When your dog is with us, they are part of the family. When you're on vacation, they'll be on vacation too!
Reviews
I highly recommend Sarah & her family. I recently boarded my dog with her for 6 days. I was a bit nervous at first, as this was my dog's first time being boarded. Sarah eased my worries by providing me with daily updates & photos. I will definitely use her again.
Sarah and her family were so great with Molly. We could see from the pictures and when we picked her up she was well-cared for and loved. Made going away so much easier. Sarah sent us pictures during the stay and provided updates so we were not worried. Thank you Sarah and family! Can’t wait to see you again.
Sarah, Travis and family were amazing sitters for our young GSP dog! He is very high energy, and he was absolutely tuckered when we picked him up from his 5 night stay with them! Great communication with lots of updates on the many activities they did! Would highly recommend, we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future :)
Such a lovely family our golden retriever had a great time and was well taken care of, and got to go on many adventures! Will be bringing him back whenever we are out of town!
