Meet Your Hosts
The people behind the paws — a small, owner-run operation built on a genuine love of dogs and the land.
Born from a Love of Dogs and the Land
Gratefull Pups Bed & Biscuit didn't start as a business plan — it started as a way of life. We've spent years living alongside dogs on this rural property, watching them thrive in the open air, the quiet mornings, and the unhurried pace that farm life naturally provides.
What began as hosting a few dogs for friends and neighbors gradually grew into something more intentional. People kept asking if we could take their dogs, and we kept saying yes — because we genuinely love it. Eventually, we decided to formalize what we'd been doing all along.
We're not a franchise. We're not a commercial kennel. We're just people who love dogs, love this land, and believe that animals deserve to be treated with patience, attention, and respect.
Our Values
Dogs Deserve Gentleness
We believe in calm, patient, force-free care. No shouting, no harsh corrections — just clear, consistent communication and a lot of warmth.
Nature Is Good for Dogs
Fresh air, open space, and the sights and smells of a working farm do something wonderful for dogs. We've seen anxious dogs decompress here in ways that surprise even their owners.
Trust Is Everything
You're trusting us with a member of your family. We take that seriously. We communicate honestly, we follow through on what we say, and we treat your dog the way we'd want ours treated.
Small Is Better
We deliberately keep our guest list small. Not because we have to — because we want to. Fewer dogs means more attention, better care, and a genuinely calmer environment for everyone.
Always Learning
We stay current on best practices in dog care, behavior, and safety. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience for the dogs in our care.
Rooted in This Place
This isn't a side hustle or a pop-up operation. This is our home, our land, and our life. The dogs who stay here are guests in a place we genuinely love.
What Sets Us Apart
There are a lot of places to board a dog. We know that. What we offer isn't for everyone — and that's okay. We're the right fit for owners who want their dog to be somewhere genuinely calm, genuinely cared for, and genuinely known.
We know our guests by name. We notice when a dog seems off. We text you if something's worth sharing. That kind of attention is only possible when you stay small — and staying small is a choice we make every single time we accept a new booking.
Reach Out to Us"We started Gratefull Pups because we wanted a place we'd actually feel good about leaving our own dogs. So we built it."
