Definitely not a kennel.

Your dog stays in a home environment with myself, my husband and our 10-yr old Labrador-X, and up to 3 other doggie guests. And best of all, your little one is not left alone for long periods of time, but spends most of the whole day (and night!) with ME!

Is this a good fit for my dog?


Although we can accommodate some dog-dog personality clashes, we prefer dogs that are able to share space with other dogs. We cannot accommodate highly aggressive dogs.

We require  that all dogs older than 1yr are neutered/spayed and fully vaccinated. 

We have experience with, and can accommodate:
   - Dogs with separation anxiety – A common problem, esp. for first-time boarders. I have developed techniques to comfort a stressed dog and make them feel secure again.
   - Owners with separation anxiety (!) – I can provide daily updates and photos.
   - High-energy dogs – I can provide longer walks and more “high-energy” play, as necessary.
   - Small and toy breeds – They stay close to me and absolutely do not mingle with prey-driven breeds.
   - Large breeds – I am not intimidated by size, and do not charge by the pound!
   - Injured or convalescing dogs – I can administer medication, apply leg braces, and can set-up a quiet location in the house for a convalescing or elderly dog. 

Warning! We cannot accommodate male-male aggressive dogs!

My dog, Charlie, can be sensitive to aggressive male dogs.
