What We Offer
Cozy Accommodations
Dogs staying with us relax in a comfortable home environment rather than a traditional kennel setting. Guests have plenty of space to unwind indoors and enjoy a calm atmosphere between play sessions. At night and during scheduled rest times, dogs settle into their own kennel spaces so everyone can safely relax and recharge.
Playtime and Exercise
Engaging activities and exercise for your dog. We can provide both one on one playtime as well as group playtime, depending on your dog's comfort level. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime in our large fenced yard where they can run, explore, and socialize with compatible playmates. We carefully manage playgroups based on size, personality, and play style so every dog can have fun while staying safe.
Special Care
Every dog is unique and we do our best to accommodate their individual needs. Whether your dog requires medication, prefers quieter play, or simply needs a little extra reassurance while away from home, we make sure they receive attentive and personalized care.

"Thank you for taking great care of our pups! Amazing service and the communication to us throughout their stay was fantastic. We will definitely be requesting Taya's boarding services again!"
- Wag Client (November 2025)
"Taya was amazing with our dogs and had great communication. She helped us in a very short time window and eased our minds being away from our pups unexpectedly. She’s great!"
- Rover Client (October 2025)
"She kept us updated every step of the way about the dogs, their well being, she sent photos and videos regularly so we could see that they were loving on our dogs as much if not more than we would. Honestly it looked like they were so happy with her, I wasn't sure they were gonna come home. We had nothing to worry about there, but that is to say that she did an amazing job caring for our dogs for almost 2 weeks. Would definitely recommend and would 100% be willing to use in future for any possible boarding needs in the future. Thank you to Taya and her husband"
- Thumbtack Client (September 2025)
"Taya was able to fit not one, but our THREE dogs in very last minute when another rover sitter cancelled on us the night before our booking. She very quickly picked up on their 3 distinct personalities and gave them exactly the amount of love, attention, and play time they needed. She sent us a ton of pics and videos from the weekend that left us assured they were feeling right at home so we didn’t have to worry about them and could enjoy the wedding we were in town for. If we were locals, we would absolutely pick her for any dog sitting needs we had. Cannot recommend highly enough!"
- Rover Client (August 2025)
"Taya was an excellent babysitter for my five dogs! She treated them like they were part of her family and I know they would be very excited to see her again. She kept me updated during my vacation and sent pics/videos that showed me how much fun they were having. She was able to handle all of their health requirements with ease. This was our first time using Rover and meeting Taya and I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, personality, and overall caring nature for animals. I felt that I could definitely trust her with my fur babies. I am highly recommending her for boarding services!"
-Rover Client (April 2025)
"Taya was fabulous before my dog even met her! So communicative and thorough. While my pet was there, she sent multiple photos and videos. She adjusted to my nightshift schedule and was incredibly considerate. 100% will return!"
- Rover Client (December 2024)
"Taya was the best dog sitter ever. I have a 11 1/2 year old female German Shepherd and an 18 month old Australian Cattle Dog and they are a real handful. They loved it at Taya's house so much we were afraid they wouldn't want to come home. This was my first Rover experience and I could not be happier. Taya sent me pictures and videos of the dogs throughout their stay and they were clearly having the time of their lives. We will DEFINITELY be using Taya again. It's so nice to know that the dogs have a place they actually enjoy going to rather than being locked up most of the time at a boarder. Thank you Taya and your fiancé. You are both clearly dog lovers and my dogs both loved you."
