Get to Know Us
How It All Began
Our decision to provide boarding services in our home began by a desire to provide a safe, friendly, and attentive atmosphere where your pets feel at home. Our dogs are family, and we strive to provide the kind of care we want for our dogs while away. We know that an at-home atmosphere is the best fit for our dogs, and hope that you will find our home an optimal option for your dogs.
What We Do
When your dogs stay with us, you can expect them to be treated as if they are our own. We pay close attention to their needs, ensure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. We begin our days with some time in our fully fenced in yard, followed by breakfast and a rest. When ready, we head out for some good exercise followed by snacks and naps. Meals (and any necessary medications) are carefully coordinated to meet the needs of all of the dogs in our care. Play, exercise, and rest are gauged based on the individual needs and the end of the day culminates in a bedtime routine to help us all wind down and relax.

Bella
Bella is a 10-year-old Cavapoo with a very spunky and happy personality. Even though she only has one eye, her vision is pretty good, and she does not miss a beat! Bella loves people and dogs, especially littles like herself! She can often be found playing with toys, chewing on ox tails, and walking with her friends at the park. Bella loves to cuddle and is happy to snuggle up with her friends and family. She's excellent at posing for photos (and totally knows how cute she is) and is often spotted wearing a pretty pink flower on her collar. Bella recently completed her Canine Good Citizen title, and we are so proud!
Iris
Iris is a 5-year-old Standard Poodle with lots of energy and personality. Iris loves to play with her favorite glow-in-the dark ball, and will jump for joy when she sees her favorite toy! She enjoys off-leash hiking and hunting squirrels at the park with her doggie friends. Iris loves people and is truly a sensitive and empathetic soul. As a certified therapy dog through Therapy Dogs United, she is incredibly happy to visit with those in need. In addition to her therapy work, Iris can be found at various training courses honing her skills in rally, obedience, scent work and more!
