When your pet is in my care, we have our own vacation! We take lots of walks, we play, and we have fun! Sometimes all of those adventures mean dirt!

We only use hypoallergenic handmade soap from Young Living's Animal Scents line. Formulated specifically for their health, so there's no worry about allergies for you or your pet!

ABOUT US.
ABOUT US.
ABOUT US.
Here at Life's Golden, we love all animals!
I wanted to face the lack of one-on-one boarding options. So many places only offer multi-family environments. I prefer to be able to focus ALL of my attention on your pet(s) and their needs, not just multitasking with a group. I also wanted to see a safe and comfortable option that included every living creature, giving their humans a peace of mind.
Here we're more than just cats and dogs, we cater to all! Reptiles, small mammals, marsupials, livestock, birds, etc. You have it, we love it!
Owned and operated by a woman that's done it all, you can rest assured that no matter the walk of life, they're going to be cared for the way they're supposed to!
We cater to all special requests. Whether it's medications, special dietary concerns, supplementation, daily soaks, baths, specific UV requirements or physical limitations- No need is too big or small!
We specialize in: holistically raised, naturally reared, intact management, and biologically appropriate diets. Titers are gladly accepted and heavily encouraged!
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
