Our Services
Boarding, Day & Overnight Care
Instead of a lonely, potentially scary, stressful, LOUD experience for your fur-kid at a conventional boarding facility, let us spoil them like family. Your dog will have the run of our common areas, supervised playtime with other dogs of similar size/personalities and around- the-clock-human supervision. Your pup will frolic in our acre fenced-in play area & will enjoy structured enrichment activities, twice daily feeding and administering supplements/medication, all included in one reasonable, nightly rate.

About
My name is Gina and I LOVE dogs!
A life-long animal lover, I grew up on and around farms and have raised, trained and successfully shown both dogs and horses since childhood. I have experience with a variety of animals from hamsters to hogs, parrots to peacocks, geckos to guinea pigs. I even had a job taking care of some antelope once! No dog too big or small! I have logged countless hours at animal shelters and veterinary offices and have experience as a traditional kennel manager.
It’s long been a dream of mine to share a home-based, chemical-free, low-stress environment with pet parents looking for the best in care. With over 20 years of experience creating great canine partners, I have direct experience with: Sporting, Hound, Terrier, Working, Toy, Herding and Non-Sporting breeds. Multiple titles in AKC Canine Good Citizen, CGC Advanced, Urban CGC and AKC Trick Dog. We specialize in puppies, seniors and high-drive breeds.
We have designed our care experience to provide the best environment for your dog friend - with significant thought and care for your (human) experience. We aspire to exceed your expectations in every respect. Let me know how I can help!
