Boarding and Pet Sitting

Going Somewhere in 2026? 

Have you made plans for your pet(s) yet?

Are you planning a getaway this year? If so, now is the time to start planning for your pets as well.

So often, people have their plans set for vacation, but wait until the last minute to plan for their pets.

 

Most boarding places and in-home pet sitters get booked quickly as they are in high demand. We are generally booked a month or two in advance. During holidays, spring break and summertime, we book even faster. 

​

                                                    Take the time to book your pet's care as soon as you know your vacation dates.

                                                         You don't want to make a last-minute decision to send your beloved pet to an                                                                unfamiliar kennel or place where they'll be crated much of the time without the                                                              care, love and affection they are used to getting at home. â€‹

We Offer Two Options

caring hands. We treat them like our own.

Pet Sitting in Your Home

​

Our sitters stay at your house 24/7.​

They may leave for a few hours at times for errands and such,

but are at your home most of the time.

​

Our sitters have years of experience boarding and sitting pets.

You can feel confident that your pet will get the love and attention

he or she always gets and will feel so much more comfortable

keeping to their normal routine and environment.

​

They can dispense medications (for compliant pets), clean the

litter box/cage, and, of course play with and pamper your pet.

As a complimentary service, we can also water indoor plants,

bring in mail, newspaper, and packages, rotate lights, and take

out garbage and recycling.

​

Overnight pet sitting in your home is a wonderful option if you

or your pet are uncomfortable at a traditional boarding facility.

Pets are typically most comfortable staying in their own home while

their people are away. You'll have peace of mind knowing that

your pet is comfortable and cared for at home.

if your dog is leash reactive, we can't walk them, but

can play with them in your backyard or in the house. 

The cost for one dog is $95/for a 24 hour period.

If the stay extends beyond 24 hours,

an additional fee will be incurred.

​

Each additional dog is $10 extra.

Boarding in our Home

​

We can board dog-friendly dogs 25lbs and under.​

Your pup(s) will be staying with me!

A certified professional dog trainer/behavior consultant.

​

I have been dog training for over 15 years and boarding dogs 

through my board and train program for 12 years. You can feel confident that your dog will be very well taken care of!

​

We board no more than two dogs at a time. Our house is on

almost an acre and is entirely fenced in and "small dog" proof. â€‹

Your pet will get the love and attention he or she always gets

and will enjoy a more stress-free time in our home environment.

No need to stay at a facility with tons of barking dogs and stress.

​

During their stay, we can dispense medications as needed.

They will get lots of play time during the day and tasty

chews in the evenings. They are out and about with

us throughout the day, not kept in cramped crates or kennels. 

They will sleep how they sleep at night in your home, 

(In my room, if that's what works for them!)

​

Boarding in our home is a wonderful option if you or your

 pet are uncomfortable at a traditional boarding facility, or if

you don't want someone staying at your home.

You'll have peace of mind knowing that your pet is

comfortable and being well-cared for.​
