About us

We are a family rooted in hard work, nature, and a deep love for animals. My husband is a skilled, blue-collar man who can fix just about anything. Though hardworking and strong, he has a soft spot for animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for.

For me, home is a sanctuary where warmth, nature, and love come together. Whether tending a garden or enjoying the quiet of the evening, I find peace in life’s simple rhythms.

Together, we’re building a life where work and family blend seamlessly. Cedar & Sunflowers dog boarding is more than a business—it’s a place where dogs are treated like family, and where we can raise our son surrounded by love, learning, and nature.

Cedar & Sunflowers Dog Boarding was founded to bridge the gap between high-volume, impersonal boarding facilities and the warm, home-like care that dogs truly deserve. We believe every dog should feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away, which is why we provide a peaceful, personalized experience right on our homestead in the hills of Barnhartvale.

Beyond creating a haven for visiting pups, this business allows me to work from home and raise our  son in a nurturing environment, while staying connected to our land and animals. Cedar and Sunflowers is more than just a boarding service—it’s a reflection of our values: family, comfort, and quality care for every dog that walks through our doors.

About Cedar & Sunflowers Dog Boarding

Our love for animals and the belief that every dog deserves a comfortable, loving place to stay inspired us to create our family-run dog boarding service. Nestled in the hills of Barnhartvale, our home is a peaceful retreat where dogs can feel safe, happy, and part of the family.

Unlike larger kennels, we offer only four private suites, allowing us to provide truly individualized care, attention, and a stress-free environment. Whether a pup is staying solo or sharing a suite with a sibling, we ensure every guest receives the highest level of comfort and care. From cozy naps to fun outdoor play, we focus on quality over quantity—making sure every dog feels at home.

This isn’t just a business to us; it’s a passion. We know how much dogs mean to their families, and we are honored to be a trusted home-away-from-home for your beloved pet.
