Family Style Dog Boarding & Daycare
All dogs live with us in our home as a member of our family. We do not have kennel runs, or separate rooms/buildings for the dogs. We only crate if you request it. We try to keep as close to the same routine you keep at home - from napping on the couch, to eating at a certain time each day. We also have a large securely fenced yard for playing and exercise, along with an inground pool with walk-out steps for the dogs.
Tara has over 20 years of direct veterinary experience and is comfortable giving all medications, including injections.
