About In-Home Dog Boarding

Why I Do This

I started this because I know dogs aren’t just “being difficult” when they act out - usually, they’re just having a tough time. My place isn’t a kennel or a “dog hostel”. It’s a lived-in home where your dog gets respect, patience, and a routine that feels natural.

What a Stay Feels Like

• Daily decompression walks - not just a quick round, but real sniffing around in nature.
• Indoor stuff, too: I use Cavaletti (those little step-overs) for fitness, and lots of nose games, puzzles, and even cardboard shredding.
• Dogs eat in separate spots so there’s no stress or fighting. The day is predictable, which helps even anxious dogs settle down.

Safety & Comfort

• Pet gates and playpens keep things chill and safe - especially if dogs need breaks from each other.
• I’ve covered my tiled floors with anti-slip mats, great for wobbly pups or oldies.
• There’s a ramp for small or senior dogs. No unnecessary jumping.
• I check in via cameras if I step out. Your dog’s never just left to figure things out alone.

Every Dog, Their Way

• Nervous or shy? I never force them to interact. I use treats, time, and patience.
• Oldies get soft beds, gentle walks, and extra help moving around.
• Puppies get safe socialising, problem-solving games, and calm routines.

Here, every dog’s comfort and confidence comes first. They get treated as the one-of-a-kind little soul they are.
