Luxury In-Home Boarding for Small Dogs
A calm, structured, small-dog-only experience inside a real home… not a facility. Your dog becomes part of our household with personalized care, consistency, and constant companionship.
The Space: Home & Yard
Resident Dog: Bentley
Bentley is our sweet resident Yorkie mix and an important part of the home environment. He loves playing with tennis balls, spending time with his dog friends, and relaxing on the couch with his favorite bones or lamb toys. He’s a true cuddle bug with a gentle, loving personality, and brings a calm, friendly energy to every stay.
All meet and greets take place in our securely fenced-in yard, ensuring a safe and relaxed introduction for everyone.
Limited Availability
We keep our capacity intentionally small to ensure every dog receives personalized care and attention.

In-Home Experience
We keep things simple, intentional, and centered around your dog’s comfort.
Your dog is welcomed into a calm, structured home environment with individualized attention and a consistent, predictable routine.
We primarily host one family at a time, with occasional accommodations for two carefully matched families to preserve balance and harmony.
There is no overcrowding, no chaos, and no rotation of unfamiliar dogs. Instead, your dog experiences a peaceful, private setting designed for stability, comfort, and elevated care.
All stays take place in Kendall’s private home in Grafton, Massachusetts.
