A day here

The house stays open. The routine stays calm.

Dogs live indoors with us—not in cages—and move between supervised indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day.

Morning + evening

Two walks, paced to the dog.

Small dogs typically walk 30–45 minutes. Larger dogs may walk 1–1½ hours, adjusted for age, health, weather, and comfort.

Medium-dog rate: the exact $65–$75 criteria still need owner confirmation. Until then, the final rate is quoted after reviewing size, routine, energy, and care needs.

Additional care: puppies under 1 year +$15/day. Unneutered or unspayed dogs +$15/day and accepted case by case. Monthly stays of 30+ days may be quoted separately.

Before we say yes

A safe group starts with the right fit.

Every new dog should complete a temperament and care review before boarding.

What to bring and disclose

  • Current vaccination records
  • External parasite prevention completed in advance
  • Confirmation that ears are free of mites
  • Leash and your dog's regular food, if preferred
  • Written details for allergies, sensitive stomach, ear or skin conditions
  • Medication and senior-care instructions for review

Dogs we cannot accept

  • Dogs who are currently ill or contagious
  • Dogs with aggressive or unsafe behavior
  • Pit bull–type dogs
  • Dogs whose needs cannot be safely met in a cage-free group setting

Large dogs are accepted only when gentle and group-compatible. Puppies, intact dogs, seniors, and dogs taking medication are reviewed case by case.

Still to be confirmed: exact peak dates, any holiday surcharge, minimum-stay rules, deposit amount, cancellation deadline, and whether holiday deposits are non-refundable. These terms must be provided in writing with each booking quote.
