Care with intention

More than a place to stay.

I care for pets full-time, so your dog gets presence—not just a check-in. Every stay follows their familiar rhythm, with the space and attention to settle in comfortably.

How care feels

The details make a stay feel easy.

01

Close supervision

I am home most of the day, with flexible potty breaks, walks, play, rest, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

02

Care that remembers

Feeding, medication, allergies, triggers, sleeping preferences, and favorite things are documented before every stay.

03

Updates with substance

Regular photos and videos, plus honest notes about eating, energy, play, rest, and anything unusual.

Simple, transparent pricing

Care priced around the dog—not the calendar.

These are estimated nightly boarding rates. The final rate reflects age, routine, behavior, medical needs, and overall maintenance level.

We received constant updates throughout the 7-day stay, including nearly 100 photos and videos. It was clear she genuinely cared.

My anxious rescue opened up very quickly. I could see in the videos that he was begging for more cuddles.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Does submitting a request confirm the stay?+

Not yet. I personally review your dates and your dog’s needs, then arrange a Meet & Greet when it looks like a good fit. A stay is confirmed only after we both agree and the Zelle reservation deposit is received.

What is the booking deposit and cancellation policy?+

A reservation deposit secures each stay: $20 for stays of 7 days or less, or $80 for stays longer than 7 days. It applies to your final balance. Cancel at least 7 days before check-in and the deposit may transfer to another available date. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable and non-transferable.

How are arrival and departure days priced?+

Drop-off and pickup are available from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Mountain View / Pacific Time. The 2:00 PM cutoff is exact: drop-off before 2:00 PM is charged as a full day; drop-off at or after 2:00 PM is a half day (50% of the daily rate). Pickup before 2:00 PM is a half day; pickup at or after 2:00 PM is a full day. Final pricing is confirmed personally.

Can I still book through Rover?+

Absolutely. If you prefer Rover's booking flow and protections, use the Rover link on this site. Requests originating on Rover stay on Rover.

What should I prepare?+

Please have current vaccination information, feeding and medication instructions, emergency contacts, and any behavior or health notes ready.

Do you accept every dog?+

Safety and fit come first. The intake and Meet & Greet help us decide whether the home environment and other dogs are a good match.
