Welcome to Nana’s Friends

Nana’s Friends is a quiet home for pets who feel better with slow introductions, predictable routines, and a calm person nearby. I offer boarding and day care in my house — not a busy daycare space — so animals can relax, nap, and stick to the habits that make them feel safe. I also offer drop-ins and additional services by request.

If your dog or cat prefers gentle company, they’ll fit in here.

What I offer

🌞 Day Care

Real companionship while I work from home. Gentle structure, sniff walks, and plenty of rest — not nonstop activity.

🏠 Home Boarding

A peaceful stay for pets who need a quieter environment. Good for senior dogs, anxious pups, and newly adopted pets who are still finding their confidence.

🚶‍♀️Drop-In Visits

Support for pets who need a midday walk, meal, or check-in with calm handling. This includes slow-paced, respectful drop-ins for independent, shy, or senior cats.

Who’s Behind Nana’s Friends?

Hi, I’m Virginia. I share my home with two sweet senior dogs and a very polite cat. We keep a slow, cozy rhythm here — lots of naps, fresh air, and frequent snacks. I started Nana’s Friends during a career transition, and I’ve since focused more of my work on caring for animals who need patience, routine, and a peaceful place to land.

I’m especially comfortable with shy pets, seniors, animals with medication needs, and pets who benefit from structure and gentle handling.
