Your dog's vacation, done right.
A small, family-run home where your pup actually relaxes — backed by 22 years of training experience, 2 fenced acres, and real one-on-one attention.
Why Pup Pad
Not a kennel. Not a warehouse. A real home.
We have an average pack of about 15 dogs a day so every pup gets time, affection, and the right kind of structure. Most of the day is spent rotating between the yard and the living room — couch cuddles, fetch, naps, and a calm daily routine.
Home-based, not crate-stacked
Our home is your dog's vacation. Couch snuggles by day, dog beds by night, kennels only when truly needed.
Safety first, by design
Double-fenced 2-acre property, underground no-dig fencing, a steel front-door gate, and security cameras inside and out.
22 years of real experience
Animal behavior analyst and AKC CGC Evaluator. Comfortable with seniors, medications, mild reactivity, and special needs.
