Safety, trust & environment
I have a 1/2 acre of fenced yard, plenty of green grass to run and play. I also have a huge playroom dedicated to dogs, where they can hang out and play without being restrained. Our lawn is cut short, and we don’t use any herbicides or pesticides. I pick up daily. For added safety, we have several security cameras, and motion activated lights outside. I will keep you updated and will send you photos/videos. Our home is clean, calm, and quiet environment. No smoking, no children, no cats. Your dog will be getting a lot of attention and will want to come back.

A typical day
It’s all about fun around here! I play fetch with them and encourage them to run around, to get rid of any excess energy. On a hot days I fill up a kiddy pool for them to cool off. Low energy dogs love to sniff around, relax, sunbathe, or watch TV here. I do use treats as a reward unless instructed otherwise, no raw hide allowed.

Reviews

We had an exceptional experience with Sylvie and would absolutely trust her with Pepper again. From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that Sylvie genuinely understands dogs and has a natural ability to work with them. She took the time to get to know Pepper, helped him become comfortable in the environment, and provided thoughtful advice and recommendations that were especially valuable to us as puppy owners. Her home and property are ideal for dog boarding. The large fenced yard and dedicated dog-friendly spaces gave Pepper plenty of room to run, play, and socialize. What impressed me most was how calm, confident, and knowledgeable she was with all of the dogs in her care. It was obvious that she understands dog behavior and knows how to create a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can thrive together. Throughout Pepper’s stay, Sylvie sent daily photos and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Every update showed happy, well-cared-for dogs enjoying themselves. Communication was always prompt, and we never had to wonder how Pepper was doing. When we picked him up, Pepper was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that he received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection during his stay. Sylvie’s experience, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs truly stand out. We are incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!

I’m so happy that we found Sylvie!! I was so nervous about leaving my 5 month old puppy with her but she had a great time!! Sylvie sent photos and videos every day during my dogs 5 day stay which was great! Will definitely be sending Riley again!

Rose met some new friends today. I think Rose is adapting on being away from home for the day. Sylvie always makes sure Rose gets pets, hugs and belly rubs. She must of had a busy day today sniffing everything. When I got home Rose ate her dinner and went to take a nap!

Sylvie always makes Rose feel at home. She and her mother gives her lots of cuddles. Her favorite is getting her belly rubbed. We don’t have a fenced yard at home but at Sylvie’s house because she has a huge fenced yard she can get the exercise that she needs. Thanks for watching Rose.
