Dog Boarding Saint Catherine's Gardens

“Can’t speak highly enough about this sitter! Ruby was in heaven playing ball and part of the whole family’s activities. Lots of communication and very flexible with my schedule. Definitely will be using again when I’m back in town!”

Rachelle R.

“We were in town with our pup for a few days and were looking to get out for a day and were able to get a last minute booking with Griffin to dog sit and he was terrific with our Milo. He sent us frequent updates along with photos to put us at ease so we could enjoy our day in the city. Highly recommend!”

Jose R.

“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”

Heidi S.

“Chantelle was great. She was willing to meet up before our trip so Wilbur could meet her and she was so flexible with our plane delays. Wilbur seems to have had a great time despite being a very nervous dog. Chantelle did what she could to help make him happy and comfortable. We would use her again for future trips!”

Rachel H.

“Nate is the best! I’m so thankful I found him & his family. Jett loves his whole family. I always know he is well cared for while I’m on vacation! Jett is always so excited to go on “his vacation to Nate’s!””

Maddie E.

“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”

Taylor S.

“Jessica and her family were wonderful with our dog Jack! He seemed right at home at their house for the long weekend. Her kids paid lots of attention to Jack which he can never get enough of. We got plenty of updates over the weekend so we knew exactly how he was doing. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!”

Roger D.

“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”

Kate B.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Blue Heeler received! When I picked her up after two nights, she was calm, content, and completely at ease — no anxiety at all, which says everything about the environment she was kept in. The dog area was spacious and looked brand new, giving her plenty of room to feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be back!”

About: 🚨 ATTENTION: 25LB MAX WEIGHT LIMIT - For the safety of our small dog clients we exclusively accept dogs/puppies that are 25lbs or under. 🚨 If your furbaby fits into our small-dog boutique size bracket, we would absolutely love to host them for a premium, customized vacation! ✨ After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: ​I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. ​Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. ​The Boutique Environment: ​Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: ​A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. ​Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. ​Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: ​My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. ​My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. ​Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: ​Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. ​The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. ​Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) ​Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.
