About Me: I work at home and will be able to look after your pooch 24/7. We have lots of room to run, 7 acres, fenced. We'll let them run loose or on a long run depending on the dog. We have extra rooms in the house if needed. Basically your dog won't even notice you're gone! Kidding. We have a small Italian Greyhound who is sociable. I have had dogs my entire life and I'm old. I have had larger size, pure breeds and mutts. Wife and kid are here to help.
There is almost always someone with the dog at all times. There are 3 of us taking care of the dogs so your dog won't be alone. We integrate your pooch into our home and our activities as appropriate for the particular dog. We have lots of options to tailor your dog's stay.
We are not a kennel. There are no kennels or cages other than a crate if you bring one. We take only a few dogs at a time and they are part of our family and our home while they are here.
Ruff. All clients receive regular photo updates.
Most of our clients are travelling and often on the way to the airport, so we have flexible hours to accomodate. including late pickup and drop off.
Note: We're out in the West Sonoma Dairy Belt, please check location before contacting.
Bonus: I'm an artist and can do a digital painting of your pooch while they're here.

★★★★★ "Jim and his family took excellent care of Noodles. She can be a little rambunctious and loves to be around people and animals. Noodles got to run with sheep and relax in the country. I NEVER write reviews, but, we will definitely be using Jim again." --Thomas Z.
★★★★★ "We boarded our 9 year old 90lb dog with Jim for over a week and we’re thrilled with the care she received. We reached out to him last minute for boarding and he was flexible and open to taking her so quickly. He took great care of her as she has a few special needs being an older large dog. He was cautious of her possibly escaping due to have no fencing on his farm. It was no problem for our anxious girl who used to escape when she was younger. He sent us pictures and updates daily of her status. She really loved it there. We almost took her to a local dog boarding location and it was overwhelming to see the amount of dogs and the conditions. It was so reassuring that Bailey had space to play and received so much attention due to being one of the only dogs with him. We are so grateful to Jim for taking amazing care of our girl. We will definitely use Jim again for boarding our pup!" --Kelly E.
★★★★★ "Jim was a great host and Jackie had a great time. Communication was good and the property is a dog's paradise. Thank you Jim!" --Aviad H.
★★★★★ "Our Rio had a great time with Jim and his familty. He kept us posted with daily photos and updates on her activities and mischief. We'll be looking to use jim and his family again when we need a sitter!" --Anne S.
★★★★★ "Jim was fantastic. Piper and Rocky had the absolute best time. Rocky got to hang out with Jim while Piper herded chicken and sheep. Happy dogs. Can't wait to bring them back. -- Sean L.
★★★★★ "We are very lucky to have found Jim. He took our dog for the weekend after a last-minute request. Jim provided updates with photos and it was obvious our dog loved both him and his home. I'm not sure our dog wanted to leave. It was so much better than a traditional dog boarding place as Jim only watches a few dogs at a time. It feels more like having a friend who is great with dogs and who has a great property to look after your pet, rather than a business. It's also obvious that Jim loves dogs, which is equally as important. 10/10 stars." -- Kyle W.
★★★★★ "An absolute dream experience. Jim was open to text and phone call communication and sent many happy photos of my dogs while I was away. Upon picking up the pups at the end of the stay, I can tell they were treated with lots of love and affection as they were happy and looked great. I would absolutely recommend Jim and will be bringing the dogs to visit him again in the future. So grateful to have found him and his family. -- Rebecca P..
★★★★★ "Braccolina has been an amazing boarding experience. Jim is thoughtful and caring, going out of his way to make my somewhat needy Frenchie feel comfortable and happy. I receive regular updates while my dog is boarding with photos and videos, which puts my mind at ease while I’m traveling. On occasion, Jim has gone far beyond what an average boarder would do to care for my dog. I have used Braccolina a handful of times and will continue to do so. I could not be more pleased. -- Lisa J.
