Hi, I'm Tammy.

I've been looking after other people's dogs for eleven years, and before that I spent five years fostering and served on the board of Southern Paws dog rescue. Our family has never once been without a dog.

Your pup stays in my home, not a kennel. They play in a private fenced yard, nap wherever the sun lands, and get spoiled exactly the way you'd spoil them. I keep groups tiny, three or four dogs at most, so everyone gets real attention.

You'll get photos and updates every day. Fair warning: your dog may look suspiciously happy in them.

simple menu, happy dogs

Two ways to stay.

Doggy Daycare
$45 a day

Drop off in the morning, pick up a tired and happy pup at night. Yard time, small group play, and a nap somewhere sunny in between.

Overnight Boarding
$70 a night

A true sleepover. Dinner, one last yard romp, a cozy bed or a spot on the couch, and photo updates so you can see how little they miss you.

Drop-off and pick-up any time between 7:00am and 9:30pm, seven days a week, holidays included.

Don't take our word for it.

"I was very relaxed on my vacation knowing that Lucy was in good hands. When I picked her up it seemed like she didn't want to leave Tammy's house."

"Dr. Sherman seemed to have a great time with Tammy and her family. She was very communicative, sent photos, and was super accommodating considering it was a holiday."

"Bandit had a great time with Tammy and her family for his 2 night stay. I was nervous to leave him but she reassured me through texts and pictures that he was doing great."

"Tammy loves my dog as much (maybe even more) than we do. She sends us great pics and most of all we don't have to worry when we are away. Truly stress free!"
