- Your dog’s cozy sleepover — just like home, but with more friends.
- We want your dog to feel completely at ease while you’re away. That’s why our home-based boarding offers calm, friendly care that prioritizes comfort, routine, and connection.
🏡What to Expect: - A non-smoking home with no kids or personal pets — just your dog and a few friendly companions.
- A doggie door with access to our fully fenced, shaded backyard.
- Dogs allowed on furniture (but we’ll try to respect your house rules if you prefer otherwise).
- Small group environment with thoughtful dog-to-dog introductions.
- Separate feeding areas to keep mealtime stress-free.
- Calm evenings and comfy sleeping spots (like our bed) — no crates unless your pup prefers one.
- Marie works from home.
- Exercise can include any of the following: backyard playtime, walks, hikes, trips to the river or lake.
- We’ll send you updates and photos so you can relax, too.

- Enough food for the stay, plus extra just in case
- Medications (with clear instructions)
- Optional bed or blanket for comfort
🚫 Leave at home:

🐶 Who’s a Good Fit?
To keep everyone safe and happy, we can only board dogs who are:
✔️ Non-aggressive, with no bite or fight history
✔️ Socialized — comfortable with other dogs in settings like daycare or parks
✔️ Up-to-date on vaccines, including rabies & Bordetella (digital proof is fine)
✔️ Puppies or intact? Totally fine — just let us know ahead of time
🚫 Excessive barking can disrupt the home — we use beep/vibrate collars (no prongs!) if needed.
⚠️ If unsafe behavior arises, we may ask for early pickup for everyone’s well-being.

8+ additional hours: +80% of the nightly rate

Especially great to add on for poor weather days where we may not be able to go for a walk. Paws & Play provides a clean kong filled with peanut butter & treats and your pup has a great snack and toy to with under supervision!
