Our home

Where your dog actually stays.

Not a facility. Not a converted garage. A real Aurora family home, on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood, with a fenced yard that gets sun all day.

A walk through the home

The same spaces your dog will actually use — not a 'kennel area' separated from the family.

The main floor

Open access to the living room, kitchen, and sun room. Couches are allowed — most dogs claim one within an hour. Wood floors with rugs for traction.

The fenced yard

Fully enclosed 6ft cedar fence, ~1/4 acre, with mature shade trees, year-round fresh water, and direct access from the back door. Snow-melt safe surface.

Sleeping areas

Most dogs sleep in or near our bedroom. A separate quiet room is available for senior dogs, anxious dogs, or dogs who simply prefer space.

Kitchen & meals

Meals are hand-prepared with the food you bring, on your dog's schedule. Medication included. Raw and prescription diets handled the same way.

Sun room

South-facing room with a permanent dog bed in the sunbeam. The unofficial senior dog lounge.

Safety setup

Baby gates, no-tip water bowls, locked away cleaning supplies, escape-proof entryway with a double-door system.

The daily rhythm

Dogs settle faster when the day has a predictable shape. Here's what ours looks like.

6:30am
Quiet wake-up, first yard break, fresh water bowls refilled.
7:15am
Breakfast served in separate spaces. Medication given to dogs who need it.
8:30am
Morning walk or leash work for dogs who like it. Yard time for the rest.
10:00am
Couch nap window. Most dogs are out cold by 10:30.
12:30pm
Photo update batch goes out. Light play and brain games.
3:00pm
Second walk or yard session, weather-dependent.
5:30pm
Dinner, medication, evening calm-down.
9:30pm
Last yard break, lights dim, dogs settle wherever they're most comfortable.
