I have years of experience dog sitting and boarding for friends and neighbors. I own my home on 3/4 of an acre with my husband and 3-year-old pup, Fia, so if boarding with me, your pup will be well taken care of! Fia is a chow chow, lab mix, and as friendly as they come. She is well trained and socialized and loves new friends.

I have got experience in both short-term adventures and long-term stays... as well as fostering dogs. If your pup loves a brisk jog, I have been training for a race and would be delighted to have them as my furry running buddy! If they're more of a "movie marathon" type, I've got the couch and popcorn (for me) ready. My old...

Hello! I love animals and have experience with many farm animals and dogs. I supported a mama bloodhound dog in her pregnancy and trained her puppies to search for truffle mushrooms in the mountains of Croatia. I consider myself a puppy doula and dog whisperer :) I'm very reliable, patient and kind.
