Dog Daycare AND Boarding in a Fear-Free Certified Pro's Home

Our Mission

Scott and Jeanette with their dog

We're Scott and Jeanette Gonyea, a husband-and-wife team providing personalized, home-based dog daycare and boarding.

Our goal is simple: give your dog a fun, comfortable day filled with enrichment, positive training reinforcement, rest, and plenty of attention.

We use a fear-free approach designed to help dogs feel safe, relaxed, and happy in our home.

Our "Facility"

Our home includes a secure 1/4-acre fenced yard with natural grass and plenty of room to explore. Dogs enjoy small-group play, treasure hunts, training games, backyard time, and short walks when appropriate. We also build in plenty of downtime so dogs can rest and avoid becoming overstimulated. Naps may happen on the couch, in our bed, or anywhere else they find cozy.
