We are now accepting new clients!

As we work through our current waiting list, we welcome a limited number of new dogs each week to maintain our high standards of care.

​

Getting Started:

To help us prioritize Meet & Greets based on your specific boarding or daycare dates, please:

​

  1. APPLY FOR A MEET & GREET: Complete your dog's profile in our online portal with honest, detailed information about your dog's personality and behavior

  2. VACCINATIONS must be current with a documented "Certificate of Vaccination"

​

This information helps us prepare for a successful first meeting with your pup and prevents delays.

​​

​

Our dogs spend their days outside—rain or shine. This means trail walks through the woods, playing in fenced fields, and yes, splashing in our swim pond. Your dog will come home tired, happy, and probably needing a bath! If you prefer a climate-controlled, pristine environment, we may not be the right fit.

 

We work with dogs of all temperaments—outgoing social dogs, shy dogs building confidence, and everything in between. Some join us off-leash on trail adventures, while others thrive in our spacious fenced play areas. What matters most is that your dog can coexist peacefully in our cage-free, communal setting.

​

Dogs That Thrive Here:

  • Enjoy or are learning to enjoy other dogs' company

  • Can share space comfortably (we do separate for mealtimes)

  • Are adaptable to group activities and routines​

 

APPLY FOR A MEET & GREET

We offer every dog an opportunity for a Meet & Greet. A Homestead team member will tour our facilities with you and your dog, observe how your dog responds to our environment, and review your intake forms. This assessment benefits everyone—ensuring we can provide the enriching, safe experience your dog deserves while maintaining harmony within our pack.

​

1. REQUEST a Meet & Greet by email

2. Register an account on our online portal:

3. Email us once your setup is complete​​

​

Meet & Greets are offered weekdays BY APPOINTMENT at 10:30am and 1:30pm. We occasionally offer Meet & Greets one Sunday a month at 10:30am and 1:30pm.

​

Please allow up to 2 weeks for an appointment.  We accommodate urgent requests for Meet & Greets and appointments for other dates & times.  These appointments are subject to an additional charge and staff availability.
