Your dog won't feel like they're boarding at all.

Meet Suzie

A handler's eye, a dog lover's heart

Suzie came to Oak Hill from Scotland after an accomplished police career in the UK, much of it spent as a police dog handler. Years of working alongside dogs taught her to read them closely, to notice the small things, and to bring a calm, steady presence to every day.

Today she brings that same quiet authority and attention to detail to every guest in her care, along with a lifelong love of dogs that has never once wavered. Your dog is understood, settled, and genuinely cherished.

In-home dog boarding

A home, not a kennel

Your dog enters our home and becomes part of the family for their entire stay. Our family is on site, so dogs enjoy real companionship and a true home routine, alongside our own two dogs. For dogs who prefer their own space, we can keep them comfortably separate from other dogs.

Our home sits on two private acres in Oak Hill. Many of our regulars can't wait to get out of the car and run into the house when they arrive.

The experience

Every day, thoughtfully attended

  • Multiple walks every day

  • Play and exploration on two acres, including a secure fenced area as needed

  • Daily photos and videos sent to you

  • Diets, medications, and care instructions followed to the letter

  • The option of separate accommodation from other dogs

  • Family on site, day and night

By design

Strictly limited numbers

We are deliberately selective about how many dogs stay with us at one time, and we hold strictly to that rule. It is what allows every dog to receive individual attention and every instruction to be followed precisely. Because space is limited, we recommend booking early, especially for holidays.

Special care

Gentle care for every stage of life

We have cared for dogs with a wide range of health needs, including seniors and dogs in their final chapter who needed round-the-clock attention.

Whatever your dog needs, it will be handled with patience, experience, and genuine compassion, so you can be away knowing they are in tender, capable hands.
