Dog Boarding
(Currently accepting new clients with dogs over 5 years old)
To maintain a cozy atmosphere and personalized experience for every pet, only up to four dogs are booked for each day. I specialize in the care of senior and special-needs dogs so our home’s environment is quiet and calm. I am comfortable administering any necessary medications and our home has no stairs, ideal for dogs with mobility issues.
Our dog guests spend their day living alongside us just as they do in your home, including exploring and playing in our large fenced-in backyard as often as they wish and resting comfortably. All guests are fed their own food twice a day, but special accommodations can be made for pets who require additional meals for medical reasons. For safety reasons and in the event of an emergency, we require that all dog guests be comfortable in a crate. We start out all new dog guests in crates for bedtime. Once we have confirmed that a dog can be safely unsupervised with our cats overnight and without causing damage to our home, dog guests can sleep in a dog bed gated in our kitchen or on the floor of our bedroom. Updates and photos are provided throughout the stay.
New Client Information
We strive to create a relaxed, home away from home environment for our furry guests, therefore we do not allow potential clients to tour the inside of our home. This prevents our current guests from experiencing the stress associated with strangers and disruptions to their routine. Instead, we offer a FREE trial night of dog boarding for all potential new clients. We will meet briefly in the driveway so I can introduce myself personally and answer any remaining questions. Then, your dog(s) will enjoy dinner and a sleepover with us, and go home the following morning after breakfast. Photos of the inside of our home are included in the dog boarding info sheet above. Visit the Gallery page to see recent guests enjoying their stay at Kali’s Cottage and the Reviews page to see what our current clients are saying about their experience!
