Welcome to Happy Hoomans, where we redefine pet boarding with our commitment to creating a comfortable, home-like environment for your furry friends. What distinguishes a home-style boarding facility from traditional kennels? A home-style boarding facility is characterized by several key features that set it apart from traditional kennels. Here's why our home-style boarding is the perfect choice for your beloved pets:

  1. Comfortable, Home-like Environment: At Happy Hoomans, we go above and beyond traditional kennels to ensure that your pets feel right at home. Our facilities are designed to exude a cozy, non-institutional atmosphere, reminiscent of a loving household. From plush bedding to familiar household items, every detail is carefully curated to provide a warm and welcoming environment that helps pets feel at ease from the moment they arrive.

  2. Personalized Attention: Your pets deserve the same level of individualized care and attention they receive in your own home, and that's exactly what they'll get at Happy Hoomans. Our experienced caregivers spend quality time with each pet, engaging in play sessions, and attending to their specific needs and preferences. Whether it's a belly rub, a game of fetch, or simply a comforting cuddle, we're here to ensure your pets feel loved and cherished throughout their stay.

  3. Routine and Familiarity: We understand the importance of maintaining routines and schedules that mirror what pets are accustomed to at home. That's why at Happy Hoomans, we prioritize consistency in feeding times, walks, and play sessions. By providing a sense of familiarity and comfort, we help your pets settle in quickly and feel right at home during their stay with us.

  4. Social Interaction and Comfort: Pets thrive on social interaction, and at Happy Hoomans, we ensure they have plenty of opportunities to interact with other animals in a safe and supervised environment. Whether it's making new friends during playtime or enjoying some quality bonding time with our caregivers, we prioritize socialization to enhance the overall experience for your pets.

  5. Close Proximity to the Caregiver: One of the distinguishing features of Happy Hoomans is our close proximity to our caregivers' home. Even if our facility is a separate structure behind our caregivers' house (connected by a short walkway), this proximity allows for immediate attention and care whenever your pets need it, creating a sense of security for both them and you, their loving owners.

  6. Lower Stress Levels: The relaxed, home-like environment of Happy Hoomans significantly reduces stress levels for pets compared to the more sterile and unfamiliar surroundings of traditional kennels. This is especially beneficial for pets with anxiety or behavioral issues, ensuring they have a positive experience while you're away, and returning to you happy and relaxed.

Overall, Happy Hoomans offers a more personalized, comfortable, and stress-free alternative to traditional kennels, providing your pets with a home away from home and you with peace of mind during your absence. Welcome to the Happy Hoomans family, where your pets are treated like our own
