Small Dog Boarding and Daycare Fun!

I accept dogs that are 20lbs and under (or should be under 20lbs) and breeds that are short and squatty. If your pup likes being in the company of other dogs, you've come to the right place. I have over 25 years of hands-on experience. My journey includes roles at a pet resort, grooming shop, and extensive volunteer work as a foster parent for rescue groups. As a devoted pet parent myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy caregiver for your pets, aiming to provide you with peace of mind throughout your time away. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, and my experience extends to caring for dogs requiring medication, as well as those with timid personalities or separation anxiety.

Vicki and Paul were absolutely amazing taking care of our two dogs for almost a week. We were pretty nervous about leaving them, but Vicki went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She sent us daily photos and updates, which meant so much and really helped ease our minds while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being treated with so much love and care—they truly treated them like their own. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they look after, and that made all the difference for us. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Vicki is great - I was nervous about Oliver’s first time at doggy day care (senior pup with some anxiety) but Vicki shared lots of pics and was very welcoming in making sure he felt right at home. Highly recommend

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is enclosed by a protective brick wall, and I've designated fenced areas within it. Outdoor playtime is always supervised, with no pup left unattended. Inside, I've set up baby gates to prevent any unexpected dashes towards the front door. Your dogs will find plenty of cozy spots and ample room to feel comfortable and at ease. For meal times, furry friends are separated so they can have their own area to eat. I'm eager to get to know both you and your four-legged family member. Let's arrange a Meet and Greet to ensure it's a perfect fit for everyone!

Pets

A typical day

Activities are customized to both your pup's preferences and your preferences as the "parent". Whether it's playing in the backyard, enjoying neighborhood walks, indoor play with toys, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply lounging on the sofa for a relaxing moment.

Before your furry friend stays here for their vacation, I'd love to learn more about them! What is their temperament, daily habits, and where they find the most comfort when it's time to rest. Understanding their personality with other dogs is particularly important since I do host multiple dogs from various families. I want to make sure everyone gets along and enjoys their stay. Also if they go on walks are they are leash-aggressive. Identifying any special needs, quirks, or unique preferences helps me tailor their stay to their individual requirements. And of course, ensuring the well-being of all furry guests includes checking their vaccination records. It's all about creating a loving and safe environment where every dog feels at home. Looking forward to welcoming your pup with open arms!
