Welcome to my crate-free home for boarding your furry family member.

Golden Days by Jessica Rae offers in-home boarding designed for dogs who thrive in a calm, clean, and thoughtfully structured environment.

Days are shaped around meaningful activity — from relaxed outdoor play to neighborhood walks and scenic hikes, based on each dog’s comfort level and needs.

We prioritize how dogs feel in their surroundings, creating ease, trust, and consistency throughout their stay.

Ongoing Communication

You’ll always know how your dog is doing, with open communication throughout their stay

  • Jess was AMAZING with our dog! She helped her settle in and sent pictures and videos each day to let us know she was doing well. She always checked in to ask questions if she wasn't sure about something, like acceptable treats. Our anxious dog was right at home and had a blast playing while we were away.

    -Erin

  • Jess was great with our dog. She was attentive to everything we said for his needs and quirks. She was especially great with him being a little anxious about his new surroundings for the day.

    -Katie

  • Jessica was awesome. Jessica is a true dog lover and a compassionate person. I could not recommend her more. We were absolutely thrilled that we were connected with Jessica.
