Why Marietta families pick us
Farther south? The driving is on me.
A real home, not a kennel
Your dog stays in my house with a big fenced yard and no more than four guest dogs, never a row of crates. Calm, quiet, and lived-in.
Seniors, meds and small or medium dogs
Dachshunds are my specialty, and seniors, medication schedules, and anxious pups are exactly who I do best with. No surcharge for meds or senior care.
Marietta pickup & dropoff
You don’t have to make the drive.
Boarding takes place at my home in Canton. For Marietta families, I’ll pick your dog up and drop them back home, so the distance north never gets in the way of good care.

Marietta questions
A few things Marietta families ask.
How many dogs will my dog be with?
Four guest dogs at a time, maximum. My own two, Susie and Brussel, live here and are separate from that count, so the busiest the house gets is six dogs total, and most weeks it is fewer. I take up to four dogs from one family, so a single household can fill the guest side entirely. Groups are matched by size, age, and energy, and dogs who would rather not mingle don’t have to.
Where does my dog actually stay?
At my home in Canton, north of Marietta. It’s home-based boarding in a real house with a large fenced yard, not a commercial kennel. I don’t have a Marietta location, I bring the care to you through pickup and dropoff.
Do you pick up and drop off in Marietta?
Yes. Transportation rates are based on your ZIP code, $25 to $40 each way, and Marietta ZIP codes come in at $35 each way, $70 round trip. Transportation is optional, and you are welcome to drop off and pick up in Canton at no transportation charge.
What dogs do you take?
Dachshunds are my specialty, but every calm, well-behaved small or medium-sized dog is welcome. Rather than a strict weight cutoff, I go by temperament, behavior, and fit for our home. Seniors and dogs on medication are welcome too.
