No kennels. No group boarding. Your dog gets the run of a real home — and my complete attention — for the entire stay.
Most boarding facilities are built for volume — rows of kennels, shared yards, a rotating cast of dogs. Soul Dog Lodge is the opposite: one dog, or one dog family, has my home entirely to themselves.
I don't have a dog of my own, so when yours is here, they get my full attention — nothing divided. I follow their normal routine as closely as I can, so it feels less like boarding and more like an extension of home.
If your dog gets anxious around other dogs, or you've just never loved the idea of a kennel, I completely hear you — and that's exactly the kind of situation I love helping with.

Tell me a bit about your dog and the dates you're considering — that's what I use to find a meet & greet time.
We set up a low-key visit so your dog and I get comfortable — dates don't need to be finalized yet, just roughly known.
Once it feels right on both sides, we confirm dates and I send over everything you need to know.
A few words from the families who've trusted me with their pups.
No — your dog has the home to themselves for the full stay, no other clients' dogs involved.
You don't need anything finalized, but I do like to know what dates you're considering so I can find a meet & greet time that makes sense for both of us.
I'm based in Andover, MA, and welcome clients from Andover and the surrounding towns.
