$60/day. $30/day for each additional family dog. No add-on fees for human play time, cuddles, ball play, holiday meals, massages, delivery of oral medication or pre-measured, raw diet servings.
We are a boutique dog boarding and training business. If days and times times are not available, we are either training or enjoying family time. We're closed Mondays and Fridays. IF we can accommodate your request on holidays and when we're closed, a $25 after hours charge applies on each day. This service is offered as a courtesy to you but is NOT guaranteed.
A $100 boarding deposit PER DOG is required to hold reservations. A credit in that amount will be applied to your completed boarding or refunded with at least 21 days’ notice of cancellation.
Deposits can be made by cash, check, Venmo and Zelle. Payment can be made through Venmo to DiMarcinizyn or Zelle using our phone number 602-647-0919.
DO YOU QUALIFY? We require (1) fully kennel trained dogs who can sleep comfortably overnight, (2) fully potty trained who do not toilet in their kennel and (3) dogs who do not want to eat us (meaning your dog is not human aggressive). If you qualify….
IF…..your dog has never boarded here, we require that you board here for one half night while you’re in town just in case your pup is stressed out with separation anxiety. A half night would be arrival in the early evening and departing the next morning, charged at half price. If we learn that your dog is not comfortable here and you have already submitted a deposit for a future boarding date, we will refund that deposit and suggest you seek private pet sitting. Our goal is to keep everyone relaxed here and to keep your dog happy. One dog’s stress can stress out the others very quickly and turn calm tummies into diarrhea!
Before you complete any paperwork, text Dianne at 602-647-0919 with the dates you have in mind to see if we have an opening. If we do, Dianne will reply directly and confirm it and request a $100 boarding deposit per dog. If you can’t text, please call the same number and leave a voice mail. Then….
Submit your First-time Boarding/Live-In Training contract and necessary vet records (screenshots are encouraged— I store them in the cloud). You’ll only submit this lengthy form once. For future boarding, please use the simplified Boarding Addendum.
We converted our dining room into our kennel space. All dogs are indoors and living like they’re part of our family because they are!
Space is limited so please schedule months in advance if you need to plan your bigger vacations/cruises. We are very comfortable making long-term commitments.
If your dog is not kennel trained or is a difficult dog, we can schedule a training with you both ahead of time so that the transition into boarding with us is a smooth one. Dianne is the only one who handles bite dogs. If your dog is human aggressive, we can discuss training options.
NOW….go on vacation knowing your pup is safe at home with our family. He or she will receive all the comforts of home while you're away. Your dog will live inside our home with the same luxuries our pack enjoys. In addition to two meals daily, we offer exercise, 1:1 play time with us and cuddle/massage time, too AT NO EXTRA CHARGE! During the hot months, for an additional fee, a treadmill session with either a misting system or evap cooler filled with ice cubes covering 300 square feet is the way to go with a cool down swim session to follow (assuming your dog has already been trained). If not, we can add those on at a discounted rate for training lessons.
My late great Sammy’s modeling our raised pet cots that are placed in each kennel to protect elbows from hygromas. A hygroma forms when the dog rests on a fairly hard surface. The pressure of his weight has created tissue damage over the elbow bones. The area is not able to heal because of the repeated tissue damage from the dog simply resting on his elbows. A fluid pocket forms as the body attempts to create its own cushion. This fluid pocket is called a hygroma. Thank you to my vet Dr. Geoff Berthiaume for the ongoing education over all these years! P.S. These beds ended up being poor quality and have been retired from our program.
Most medications are administered at no extra charge. With your permission, holiday meals and homemade bowls of soup are served, too! Yep, the dogs eat roast turkey, mashed sweet potatoes and steamed veggies with pup pumpkin pudding!
$60/day for the first dog; $30/day for subsequent dogs. $30/half day (4 hours or less).
Closed on Mondays and Fridays. For a nominal fee of $25 per occurrence, arrangements can be made in advance for drop off and pick up after hours and on closed days and holidays if we’re available. We do our best to maintain family time while also doing our best to accommodate you. Please ask for anything you need!

Beautiful Bobo the ball boy was so lost and misunderstood. Then we found each other. He just needed a specialized trainer who “got” him, knew how to communicate with him and harness that energy from a whole different way of thinking. He’s a regular here for boarding!
