About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

“Veronica is amazing. My dog loves her and her doggos so much. She’s very friendly, communicative, and flexible. I requested boarding service pretty last minute but she was able to accommodate my needs. My dog stayed at her place for two nights and came home looking happy and tired. I will definitely come back to her again!”

“Kirin is a thoughtful, warm, and wonderful dog care professional. She went above and beyond to learn about Teagan’s preferences and made sure he felt relaxed and content while our family was away from home. We are grateful for Kirin’s clear communication, consistent updates, and her fun photos of Teagan enjoying their time together! We hope to ask Kirin to visit again soon.”

When our plans changed last minute she was extremely flexible in caring for our pup for an extra night. We would highly recommend her to any dog owners looking for a dog sitter.”

“Really glad I found Volkan & Monica and the kids and Peanut to watch my pooch. While I think my dog is pretty easy to babysit, he has never been with people outside the family for an extended time. He came back just like I dropped him off, only TIRED!!! (Not smelly, not with runny poop, not with attitude from getting abandoned.) He has alot of energy and curiosity so its great that the whole gang kept him occupied. So happy I can drop him off without worries.”

Martin J.

“Toast had such a good time with Christian! They got along great, he provided tons of photos while we were away, and he was easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Darla and Greg were wonderful with our lab mix, Ellie Mae. They regularly sent photos and updates which allowed me to rest assured she was OK and enjoying herself. They were professional and flexible to my needs. Their backyard is also perfect for allowing the dogs space to play and relax. I would definitely use Darla and Greg again!”
