DDOG started as a simple wish for my own dogs: I wanted them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable whenever I was away.
What began as a passion in 2011 became a registered LLC in 2021, but the love and dedication was there from the very beginning.
With over 15 years of experience, I hold an American Red Cross certification in First Aid and CPR and am Fear Free certified, with a specialization in senior and special needs care, including palliative and hospice support built on the foundation of years of rescue work.
Each stay is shaped by that training, history, and genuine commitment to treating every dog as family.
Because this isn't just what I do. It's who I am.

ddog’s dogs
Archibald
Archie is a 6-year-old Chinese Crested and Jack Russell mix with exactly the personality his scrappy little face suggests. At 14lbs, he carries himself like he's much bigger, after he’s done barking from behind me.
Archie's story started before he even was even born. In 2020, his mother was found pregnant in Massachusetts, and Archie came into the world as the scruffiest of three puppies. For his first ten weeks, his foster siblings were 50-pound Pit bulls, which explains his confidence.
Norman
Norm is a 13-year-old Shar-Pei mix, the newest member of our pack. He came from abuse and neglect that left deep marks, but underneath the fear is a dog who wants nothing more than to be loved and to play.
Norm’s road to us wasn't a straight one. Rescued in Florida in 2022, he spent 8 months in a shelter watching his siblings get adopted. When he finally found his way to us as a foster, we spent 8 more months searching for a family with the patience and understanding he deserved, eventually realizing we were just that.
