About Cage-Free Dog Boarding
Kintsugi for Dogs: My Approach
I don't believe in 'broken' dogs. I see every pup as a work in progress, just like the Japanese art of Kintsugi - fixing cracks with gold. Here, I mend with patience and keep it real. No magic, just honest care and trust, building up each dog in my world.
What Makes My Place Different
This is a free-roaming dog boarding space, not a kennel. No cages, no leashes. Dogs lounge on sofas, nap on beds, and chase each other in a gated yard. My own dogs and a couple of cats are here too - they help new guests settle in. Every dog gets 24/7 supervision and plenty of attention.
Is This Right for Your Dog?
My pack-style dog boarding works best for dogs who love hanging out with others. Confident, social pups thrive here. If your dog is shy, prefers being alone, or gets aggressive with others, this setup might stress them out. I want every dog's stay to feel safe and fun, so I’m upfront about what fits.
Trial Stay - Non-Negotiable
Every new dog must do a trial stay. It's a must, not a maybe. This way, I check if your dog feels happy and safe in this social dog boarding environment. You get to see the place and how I work too. Honest info about your dog helps me do my job better.
What Your Dog Gets
- 24/7 cage-free and leash-free living
- Supervised play and social time
- All meals and snacks
- Loads of cuddles, routine, and support
- Confidence building, less anxiety
I keep things genuine, and every dog gets treated like family.

My Story
Hey, I’m Poulomi. My world spins around my furry board of directors: Zeus, Phoebe, and Scotch. Most folks see troubled dogs, I see souls needing a shot at trust and love. Simba, my Rottie, was called ‘aggressive’—now he’s a nanny to foster pups. This work’s my heartbeat—fostering, worrying over missing cats, and saying tough goodbyes. I’ve been knocked down, but like gold-filled cracks, I rebuild, every time.
My Work
Leash and Cage-Free Dog Boarding - Dogs live and play freely here—no cages, just a real home with my own pack.
Dog Training & Foster Care - Trust-based dog training, foster care, grooming, and medical checkups for every pup.
Trial Dog Stay - Trial stays are a must—helps your dog settle, lowers anxiety, and keeps things chill.
Open Home Dog Socialization - Dogs socialize all day. Works best for playful, outgoing pups, not so much for shy ones.
Routine & Trust - Routine and boundaries build confident, relaxed dogs. That’s our whole jam here.
