Doggie Sleepovers

Our Doggie Sleepovers offer a safe, comfortable boarding experience designed exclusively for small dogs under 40 pounds. Each guest enjoys personalized care within our private home, creating a calm, familiar environment that supports rest, routine, and emotional well-being.

 

By welcoming only a limited number of dogs at a time, we ensure attentive, unhurried care and a true home-away-from-home experience. From cozy sleeping arrangements to gentle daily routines, every detail is thoughtfully managed so your dog feels secure, relaxed, and cared for—day and night.

Pooch Strolling During Stay

Keep your dog active, engaged, and well cared for with thoughtfully paced walks tailored to their size, age, and energy level. While mountain hikes may not be on the agenda, each walk is designed to provide gentle exercise, mental stimulation, and a refreshing change of scenery.

 

We prioritize safety, comfort, and enjoyment—ensuring every outing supports your dog’s health and happiness while fitting seamlessly into their daily routine.

Pet Taxi Service

Getting your pup from A to Z doesn’t always fit neatly into a busy schedule—and that’s where we come in. Our Pet Taxi Services provide safe, reliable transportation for your dog when you need an extra helping hand.

 

Whether it’s a trip to daycare, a grooming appointment, or a scheduled pickup or drop-off, we handle every ride with care, patience, and attention to comfort. You can count on timely service and thoughtful handling, giving you peace of mind while we take care of the logistics.
