Meet the founder
Llysia Calvert
My goal has always been simple: provide the kind of care I would want for my own dogs. A safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family — not just another number in a kennel.
Dogs in my care join a real family home: two young kids, my own resident mastiff, Zoey, and often several other dogs at once — the kind of everyday socialization that's hard to replicate anywhere else.
With 20 years of hands-on dog experience, I'm comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities — including large and working breeds, reactive dogs, seniors, and dogs with medications or more complex care needs.
Reviews
What our partners say
"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Llysia. She has been a foster with our rescue for several years and has opened her home and heart to dogs who needed love, patience, and a safe place to land. She also adopted one of our dogs and has given her an absolutely amazing home.
Llysia’s heart is truly invested in rescue and in the well-being of animals. As a rescue, we are extremely careful about who we trust with the dogs in our care, and Llysia is someone we would trust without hesitation—not only with our foster dogs, but with our own personal dogs as well.
She is kind, dependable, compassionate, and genuinely loves the dogs in her care. Knowing your dog is with someone who will treat them like one of her own gives you a level of comfort that is hard to find.
We wholeheartedly recommend Llysia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their dogs. She is simply a wonderful person with a huge heart for animals."
