Overnight home-style care
I offer limited dog boarding in my home, typically for only one or two dogs at a time. Care is built around built around structured routines, clear expectations, and a quiet environment. This works especially well for dogs who are actively in training or who do best with consistency or a calmer, more personal setting than traditional boarding.
What a typical day looks like
Dogs are cared for as part of our structured household. Built into the routine are:
Daily walks
Supervised play/free time
Light training and enrichment
Quiet downtime to decompress
Existing training expectations are maintained by default. Targeted day training can be added to reinforce skills or work toward new goals.
Looking for something more training intensive? See the Jump Start board-and-train.
Rates & Add-ons
Overnight boarding | $85 / night
Includes daily walks and enrichment, 1:1 home-style care, and reinforcement of your dog’s established routines.
Day training add-on | $35 / hour
Targeted training sessions during your dog's stay. We can focus on specific skills like leash manners and engagement, separation practice, settle routines, calm exposure to distractions, and more.
For dogs who are more anxious or reactive, I may require daily add-on training to help them settle in with us.
Requirements & Safety
To be eligible for boarding, dogs must:
Be crate-trained and able to settle calmly alone for short periods and overnight
Be current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella, and on regular flea & tick prevention
A consultation is required for all new clients.
Not social? No problem.
Dogs are not placed into forced interactions with people or other dogs (including my own) by default. Introductions are only considered when appropriate and beneficial to both dogs. When useful, I may recommend passive exposure—calm, non-interactive proximity paired with positive reinforcement—to help build dogs stay neutral around others. All exposure is controlled and discussed in advance.
If a dog needs extra support adjusting, a trial night, private lesson, or day training may be recommended to help them settle in better.
I only take one or two dogs at a time, so please reach out early to discuss availability and fit.
