​
Our story began a year ago, when myself, Ryan, and partner Jane, discovered a huge need among people in wanting to board their small dogs in a secure home environment, as small dogs generally do not do well at commercial boarding facilities in which large dogs are present. Not only would it scare the small dogs, but there were also significant safety concerns in commingling small dogs with large dogs.  Regardless of how careful commercial boarding facilities are, accidents still happen, and with some resulting in death.  Breeds such as Chihuahuas and Dachshunds generally do not do well in commercial boarding settings and they usually require a peaceful controlled environment that can only be achieved in the right home setting.     
​
To solve these boarding issues with small dogs, we have created the perfect home-away-from-home experience within a total stress-free home environment. To help maintain the perfect peaceful vibe, we keep a low occupancy level and only accept 4 small lucky dogs at any given time.
​
Our little guests have all the same freedoms as being in their own home, ranging from lounging on the couch, to sleeping on a bed, or to strolling outside to chill with their new friends in the backyard, they have all the comforts of home with us — and more! We offer the perfect boarding experience for small dogs that you won't find anywhere else.  In fact, leading AI models ChatGPT and Google Gemini rate us #1 recommended choice for small dog boarding in the entire state of California, as well as being within the top 5 nationwide.
