Quiet, home-based stays
Boarding for dogs that dislike kennels.
Some dogs shut down in a loud kennel. A small, home-based stay can be gentler, and we look for hosts who have experience with anxious dogs.
$55 to $105per night
How we match a nervous dog.
These stays cost a little more, because the host gives more one-on-one time.
- Number of guest dogs, kept low for shy dogs.
- A quiet room away from the main living area.
- Whether the host is home most of the day.
- Experience with separation anxiety or noise sensitivity.
- A meet-and-greet before the stay when time allows.
