Boarding at a Pet Sitter’s Home
Boarding in a pet sitter’s home blends the comfort and safety of a home environment with the enrichment of a positive experience outside your dog’s own space. Your dog will settle in with our owner, Tarina, and her family, enjoying plenty of snuggles and affection, as well as basic care, like feedings, medications, and walks. Dogs love the relaxed, social feel of a slumber party, making their stay feel fun and stress-free.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience, Tarina knows how to help dogs feel welcome and comfortable. She thoughtfully shares her home with up to 4 house-trained, dog-friendly guests at a time, creating a calm, well-balanced group that avoids conflicts between different personalities while still offering social enrichment.
A fantastic alternative to commercial boarding, dogs who board in Tarina’s home learn to adjust to new spaces and experiences in a supportive, low-pressure environment, including a private yard for playtime. Dogs not only have fun but also socialize with other guests, learn new skills, and adjust to a positive experience outside their home.
The ultimate treat, in-home boarding feels less like boarding and more like a vacation for your furry friend. Your dog will thank you for it!
Our Boarding Rates
Boarding
