For your dog

Known habits, familiar handling.

Your dog’s routine is part of the plan, from day-to-day care to downtime. Knowing how they eat, settle, travel, and interact helps us provide an appropriate stay in a home-style environment.

For you

A care plan you can settle before you travel.

Discuss the dates, care instructions, and handover arrangements before your trip. You can make plans around a confirmed stay rather than leave the practical details until departure day.

A stay built around a dog we know

Your trip needs a plan. So does their stay.

Travel comes with enough arrangements. Knowing your dog will stay with people who understand their habits makes the care decision more straightforward.

Our boarding is intentionally limited and designed for established dogs. We consider household fit, comfort around others, handling needs, meals, rest, and suitable outings before agreeing to a stay. Space is confirmed for your dates, not assumed.

  • Overnight care in a home-style setting
  • Meals according to your instructions, potty breaks, and companionship
  • Rest and appropriate outings
  • Photos and regular updates

Unless otherwise noted, listed prices are Pathfinder rates for recurring weekly care. Maverick care is occasional or as-needed and is confirmed individually based on availability, route, and fit.

Making it work

Arrange the stay before the suitcase comes out.

Early planning leaves time to check eligibility, dates, and the care your dog needs.

  1. Send the full travel window

    Include departure and return dates, expected handover times, and any flexibility you have.

  2. Review the routine

    We discuss meals, health instructions, rest, social comfort, and anything that could affect the stay.

  3. Confirm care before departure

    Availability, fit, arrangements, and pricing are agreed before booking. Tell us about changes to your dog’s needs before the stay.
