Ask About Boarding Availability

What does in-home dog boarding look like?
Think comfortable, homey, and part of the household. Your dog gets indoor time to relax, outdoor playtime, and walks, along with canine and human companionship.
We take care of daily needs, too, including feedings, bathroom breaks, and administering medication when applicable. Share your dog’s routine and care instructions so we can discuss what they’ll need during their stay.



A vacation of their own
Your dog’s stay is about more than having somewhere to sleep. With other dogs to play and interact with, plus human attention and companionship, there’s time for fun, connection, and rest.
Our goal is for your dog to enjoy their own vacation while you enjoy yours, giving you peace of mind about leaving them in our care.
Is in-home dog boarding right for my dog?
Dogs staying in our boarding homes must be friendly with other dogs. Your sitter may have a dog of their own or another boarding dog staying at the same time.
Tell us about your dog’s personality, routine, and experience around other dogs so we can assess whether our boarding environment is a suitable fit.
