  • I have 3 dogs of my own: Sunny, Susie, and Monty. They all have very different personalities, play-styles, and preferences.

  • If your dog is friendly and wants to play, I take the preferences of your dog and my dogs into consideration for 1:1, supervised play

  • Dogs can be fully integrated with my dogs or kept fully separate: this is always based on everyone’s comfort level, both canine and human. If they don't like other dogs, they never have to see my dogs.

  • We don’t! All visiting dogs stay in my home with my husband and myself.

  • Your dog has the option to sleep either crated or free, depending on what they’re used to at home, your comfort level, and how comfortable they are here. Sleeping arrangements are dog-dependent and can be in my living room or in a quieter, more private space, like my kitchen or my training area.

  • Potty breaks are every 2-4 hours in our fenced yard. Dogs also get regular walks to meet their exercise needs—either around the neighborhood or to a local hiking trail.

  • My husband and I both primarily work from home, meaning your dog is rarely alone. There is a camera on them any time they aren’t being directly supervised.

  • We maintain a highly selective boarding schedule to ensure your dog is my priority.

  • At this time, in-person tours are closed until May 2026 to accommodate some family time. Please keep an eye out for our virtual video tours or reach out for a phone call to chat about our offerings!

  • Not a problem! I have over a decade of veterinary experience and am comfortable with a variety of medication from injectables to orals and topicals.

  • My training space is covered in non-slip flooring and walk-out, ideal for dogs with mobility concerns.

  • We have a special fridge for dogs eating fresh, homecooked, or raw diets. Bowls are cleaned after every meal.

  • Our day-care program is ideal for dogs with separation anxiety. If we have to leave the house, they are able to travel with us in our crash-tested car crates.

  • That isn’t a problem. They never have to see or interact with another dog.
