VIP Boarding, 2 Pets Max
*** Cozy, VIP Boarding for Just 2 Pups Max! *** Hi, I’m Portia, proud dog mom to Gugu, my cuddly Shichon, and Pebble, our goofy Frenchie. We’ve traveled everywhere together — Chicago, New York, Minneapolis, Oregon, Seattle, Texas, Yellowstone, Vancouver, Banff, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec and Mexico City because I never felt comfortable leaving them behind. I understand what it’s like to find someone you can truly trust. With 15 years of dog care, I host only two pups at a time for calm, personal attention. Whether your dog’s playful, shy, or senior, I tailor care to their needs and routine. You’ll get daily photos and updates so you always know they’re happy and safe.

Ratings and reviews
Last minute booking with Shijia and fortunately she was able to accommodate the holiday week. From the moment we met her and her husband I felt at ease. They have two dogs of their own, one being a French bulldog like Mochi. She offered for me to come inside and look at the house and yard where mochi would be staying for the week. She asked a lot of questions about Mochis like and dislikes and her routine so that she would feel comfortable. During our vacation we received daily updates with multiple pictures. These pictures were just the sweetest. It was as if mochi was part of a family. She gave updates on mochis eating, walking and pooping. I honestly felt like I left her with family. I can not say how much I truly appreciate their love and care for mochi and I would 100% leave her with them again and highly recommend them to anyone who needs boarding for their pet!!
Absolutely incredible experience with Shijia and her partner. We felt so comfortable leaving our shy Corgi boy with her and got so many wonderful updates and pictures. It's clear how much she adores dogs and we would absolutely love to book with her again in the near future!

Schedule
I work from home, so your pup will have company almost all day! My dogs, Gugu and Pebble, are calm, social, and love making new friends feel at home. The back door stays open to our fenced yard with real grass, so pups can choose between zoomies outside or cozy naps inside. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from meals to walks to bedtime — so they feel safe, happy, and right at home from day one.
