In-home dog boarding · Rushville, Ohio
A home away from home for your dog.
Dogs stay in our home and become part of the household while they're here. They get attention, playtime, enrichment, plenty of outside time, and probably way too many pictures sent to their owners.
Hi, I'm Emmie
Dogs are a pretty big part of my life.
Between my own dogs, years of training, and 12 years working in veterinary medicine, I've spent a LOT of time around dogs. My husband Steff and I board dogs right here at the farm, in our home.
I'm comfortable with dogs who need a little extra attention, have special routines, take daily medications or injections, or aren't exactly social butterflies. Every dog is different, and I'm happy to work with them as individuals.
- 12 years in vet medicine
- Years of dog training

How a stay works
It's a home, not a commercial kennel, so it's less stressful and more fun than a typical boarding facility.
2 to 3 dogs, max
Small on purpose, so every dog gets real attention and is treated like one of our own.
Crate and rotate
Everybody gets time inside, outside, and decompression time in a kennel. We just rotate. Your dog only socializes if you want them to, and only with friendly dogs.
Pickup and drop-off
Life is busy. If you'd rather not make the trip, we can pick up and drop off. One less thing to worry about.
Before the first stay
- Proof of current distemper/parvo and rabies vaccines
- Influenza and Bordetella are recommended, not required
- A short boarding agreement (Emmie will send it to you)
"My dog Maxine has stayed with Emmie and Steff and she had such a great time! I got so many photos and updates and knew she was loved and well cared for!"
Send us a postcard
