“Elaine is friendly and warm and I felt good about leaving Olive for her first day of doggie daycare with her. I will certainly plan on using her services again. Thank you Elaine.”

Robin G.

“Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!”

Joan J.

“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”

Makiko T.

“Wonderful sitter who offered to take him to her house to play. She has a dog seat too!”

Sandi G.

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”

About: 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.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”

“Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!”

About: I have had pets since I was a child, so I am very familiar with their needs, behavior and the care they require. I am a responsible, affectionate and patient person, and I always make sure that pets feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of. In addition, I also have experience taking care of children, which has helped me develop my patience, attention and sense of responsibility even more. I like to treat each pet with love and care, as if it were part of my own family. 🐾 I work only four days a week and usually get home early, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have had pets since I was a child, so I am very familiar with their needs and the affection they require. In my daily routine I always include time to play with them, feed them and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. Many friends trust me and bring me their pets when they need help, which has also given me experience taking care of different animals and adapting to their needs. 🐾 I offer pet care during the night in my home or at the owner's house, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of. It includes food on time, walks if necessary, playtime, company during the night and a lot of attention and affection. I always follow the routine and instructions of the owner so that the pet feels as calm as possible. My goal is for the owners to have peace of mind knowing that their pet is in good hands and receiving care as if it were part of my family. 🐶🐱

“Ron provided a safe and comfortable setting for an anxious rescue dog who had never before been boarded. He gave Peanut the space he needed and waited for the dog to come around. Any other approach would probably have heightened Peanut's stress. Ron is patient. He also doesn't rely on a cage, another reason we picked him. Hoping for future visits. ”

“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”

“Ryan was fantastic! My boys really struggle in the summertime due to the heat. He took that seriously and made sure to only have them outside for brief potty breaks. The boys had fun making new friends at daycare! He made sure they stayed cool and hydrated! As a helicopter mom I really worry about my fur babies, so I really appreciated that he sent videos throughout their visit to show me they were doing fine and having a great time! He spent time with them as well! My boys were in good hands with Ryan!”
