BEHAVIOR AND TRAINING
VIP BOARDING
Trusted solo-dog care ◆ Behavioral needs ◆ Professional trainer's home
Leaving your dog when traveling can be so stressful. Oh how I feel your pain. I've been there myself many times. When a dog has special behavioral needs, having limited boarding options adds even more worry to the already-stressful travel process.
Dogs with special behavioral needs – and their humans – deserve stress-free vacations too. That's why I offer dedicated, solo-dog care in my home for reactive dogs, fearful dogs, anxious dogs, senior dogs, dogs with separation-related needs, and dogs with other special needs.
Your dog will be a VIP guest and cared for in my home like family. Although training isn't part of VIP boarding, staying with a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant dedicated to minimizing your dog's stress can be tremendously beneficial. Cuddles are unlimited, training is not included.
HOW IT WORKS
1
VIP Boarding Assessment
After you complete the request form below, I'll get in touch about booking the one-hour boarding assessment at my home (located in 60646). During this meeting, we'll discuss in detail your dog's behavior history and boarding needs while I observe your dog's comfort level. Your dog will have an opportunity to explore my home and build positive associations with me. We'll decide together if it's a good fit, and if so, book the planned stay or a trial stay.

Trial Stay
A trial stay ahead of your first stay for planned travel might be necessary to make sure your dog is comfortable in my home. A trial stay is 2-3 days while you're in town and "on call" in case needed. We'll determine at the assessment meeting whether a trial stay is required for your dog.

VIP Boarding Stay
Your dog will live in my home, be cared for like family, and have fun! Each stay includes memory foam dog beds, fuzzy blankets, couches, human beds, play and games, enrichment opportunities, fenced-in yard, peaceful walks if appropriate, and unlimited cuddles and smooches. I'll send text updates with photos and videos throughout the stay. Check out a few highlights with previous guests!
