Our Story
The Dog House Inn -- Is my home where I live with my two boys, Tommy & Jack, and my two dogs, Perlita & Lupino. This is a perfect place for dogs of any size to come and play. The property is approximately 2 acres, and is completely fenced in. We sit right next to a golf course-- so in winter we go for long walks
My business started after the birth of my second son Jack, I didn't want to go back to work in NYC (I was a fashion executive for a Childrenswear manufacturer), I wanted to spend more time at home and I wanted to do something part time. So, I started walking dogs, and boarding them at my home in Rye, NY...that was over 20 years ago! I got divorced in 2010, and moved back to my childhood home, in Purchase. I was still walking & boarding a few dogs(most of my clients lived in Greenwich or Rye).But my Mom was not well, so I spent as much time with her as possible, and I did not look for new clients. Sadly, my Mom passed away in 2014, and I had to decide what to do with my inheritance. I decided to buy a house in Florida, and I thought I would move there, to be closer to my sister and my youngest brother, (I have 6 brothers!). However, my kids did not want to move, so I now had a home in New York and a home in Florida, and I had to find a way to pay for both of them!
I decided to rent out my home in Florida; "Casa Divina" (which is named after my Mom --Divina translates as Diane). which is in WPB, and is available on Airbnb!
And then I realized that I had to do something in New York. I hadnât thought I wanted to continue to walk dogs. I had been doing that for 20 years! But it is all about perspective, and I realized that I could run a âdog boardingâ business like my âvacation homeâ in Florida. An Airbnb for dogs! And, The Dog House Inn was born. I wanted to offer my clientâs dogs a "family" away from home, where they can be âfreeâ to play, where they are safe and loved as if they were mine--essentially a âhome away from homeâ. The dogs have full access to the property--They can play in or outside all day if they want. They can sleep in any part of the house that is comfortable, which includes the couch, and if they can fit? They can sleep with me, on my king size bed...which, is where most of them end up! Most of the time they follow me around...in the summer, they help me garden, or work in the yard, and we play "ball".
