I had a variety of family pets growing up that included dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, a snake ... just to name a few. Around 10 years old, I got my first taste of barn life and became a committed equestrian. Those roots grew into showing in 4-H, giving riding lessons, barn management, creating and managing an intern program, and much more. With years of horsemanship under my belt, transitioning to dog training was a smooth process as there are a lot of parallels between the two.
In 2019, I purchased my home in Greenwood and started boarding pups for a small circle of friends and friends-of-friends. That started the spiral that got us where we are today…. wholeheartedly committed to providing the best pet care to Greenwood and its surrounding areas.
It brings me joy being able to partner with you to meet the needs of your pet through general care, enrichment strategies, and formal training. If you have any questions or wish to learn more about our services, please reach out at any time. We enjoy connecting with the community over our shared love of animals.
Our philosophy
owner focused
SS Boarding puts an emphasis on managing your dog's stress, whether it stems from excitement or uncertainty, by ensuring our environment is fun and engaging without being over stimulating.
compassion & flexibility
We start by learning about you, your pup, and your frustrations before creating a tailored training plan that sets you both up for success.
giving back
By booking with SS Boarding, you are not only supporting a small business but also contributing to local charities through us.
a vacation you both can enjoy
Let's face it, not everyone thrives outside of a routine and that’s the case for a lot of dogs. So while you’re looking forward to upcoming travel plans, your pup is dreading your departure. Well, not anymore! SS Boarding puts an emphasis on managing your dog's stress, whether it stems from excitement or uncertainty, by ensuring our environment is fun and engaging without being over stimulating.
Peace of mind starts with our free, no obligation Meet&Greet where we’ll do our first assessment and get to know each other. The next step in onboarding is a Trial Overnight at our home so we can do a playgroup evaluation and overall assessment. The final phase of onboarding may look different on a case-by-case basis after the overnight. In the end, if we’re unable to provide the top care your pup deserves, our referral list will help you get connected with other pet care professionals.
