Insured and Bonded Professional!

Pet care experience

I'm Stacia and my husband, James, and I have a loving and dog-friendly home ready for your furkid. I have done small dog rescue on and off for years and I have 3 small rescue dogs who are friendly and enjoy the company of other dog friends. I have worked with dogs with various issues over the years and taught several dogs to walk on leashes. We do have a fenced yard, but we don't allow dogs out unattended, as small dogs can get into trouble with the local wildlife. Dogs in this home are part of the family and we try to treat them as you would treat them in your home. If they are allowed on the furniture at home and sleep in bed with you at home, they will do so here if you like. We want you to be comfortable with us and we want your dog to be comfortable as well, so whatever he or she is allowed to do at home, we will try to allow here. We also like to do a free meet and greet to make sure we're comfortable with your dog and you're comfortable with us and our home. We want what's best for you and your dog so you're feeling confident while away and don't have to spend time worrying about your beloved pet. We are dog people and have always had dogs in our home and will love your dog like he or she is our own. We have lots of comfy dog beds and blankets in the house and in my office, where I work from home part-time. We also have lots of dog toys for everyone to play with while staying. I'm confident your dog will have a fun time with us and if you just need a walk or a drop-in visit, I'm happy to provide that as well. I am fully insured and bonded and have done several animal behavior classes. I am also Pet First Aid and Pet CPR certified. I did this so I could be professional and have a better idea of what to do in case of emergency. I want you to feel comfortable having your dog stay with us or go out with me for a walk or have a drop-in visit. I am constantly working to better myself and my abilities to care for animals. I prefer a meet and greet (free) to make sure we are on the same page and get to know you and your pet and make sure they get along with our dogs. Although we love large-breed dogs, we currently do not board dogs over 25-30 pounds because of our own tiny dogs and in consideration of the small dogs we board, but we do offer a vacation package of 3 visits per day (early morning, afternoon and late night) for a discounted rate if you have a larger dog or boarding is full. Please contact me with any questions you might have and I'll be happy to answer them!

If I could give Stacia and James more stars, I definitely would. They went above and beyond in taking care of 2 new adoptees to our home. Tasha has some special needs and Stacia took wonderful care of her, loving her through some hard moments. They kept me updated on how the girls were doing every day and sent great pictures of them. I was very nervous about leaving our new dogs, but would use Stacia and James again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone seeking boarding. Great people!

Stacia and James took great care of our pup while we’re on vacation. Stacia sent daily updates and pictures, and even though this was our first time leaving Biscuit behind we were confident he was given individual attention and was comfortable while we are away. He made new friends with Stacia and James’s dogs and has a blast.

Stacia took great care of our dog, Lily. She sent us updates every day. We had to extend our stay unexpectedly and she was so accommodating about keeping Lily two extra days. She even made our dog a toy which was super thoughtful. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!!

This was my experience boarding. Stacia is great!! We did a meet and greet and all my fears and nervousness was put at ease as soon as I met Stacia. Stacia sent me pics and texts throughout the day while she kept my pupper and I really appreciate that. I've already booked my reservation with Stacia for my next out of town trip.

Information Stacia & James G. would like to know about your pet

As much as my husband and I love large breeds, we have tiny dogs, all under 10 pounds and only board small or medium breeds. I’ve had small dogs my whole life and have done small dog rescue and fostering so I’m very comfortable with small dogs. I love the hairless breeds and have specialized knowledge of them, but don't have any specific breeds that I dislike or don't care for. I just need to make sure other dogs will be comfortable with between 4 and 8 small dogs around, as I'd hate for a dog to be uncomfortable staying with us.

A typical day

We have a fun and dog-friendly home Our dogs will have fun playing and snuggling with your fur kid. Your dog can get on the furniture or in a dog bed and even sleep in our bed if that’s what you and they prefer. We like to walk in our neighborhood if your dog enjoys walks. We have toys around the house and will be happy to include your pup during play time.
