Our Mission

Our Mission: Luxury Care with a Personal Touch

At Snuggles and Hugs, we understand that your pet is family. Founders Nancy and Darrel are dedicated to providing peace of mind while you’re away, ensuring your beloved dog receives the exceptional care, love, and attention they deserve.

We believe in quality over quantity, offering an exclusive, boutique experience that goes beyond traditional dog daycare. Every pup enjoys:
Personalized attention & enrichment – One-on-one engagement with our caring team.
Play & socialization – Structured, supervised group play tailored to your dog’s temperament.
Rest & relaxation – Recharge time in our Indoor Luxury Suites and Roll Over Lounge.

Peace of Mind, Every Step of the Way

Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a big decision, and we’re here to eliminate the worry. With our dedicated, experienced team and intimate, membership-based approach, you can trust that your dog is in the best hands possible. Our carefully curated environment ensures safety, comfort, and stability, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, engaged, and well cared for.

More Than Just a Boarding Facility—A Passion for Pet Well-Being

Nancy and Darrel’s commitment extends beyond their luxury services. They founded KEBA (Kanine Education Benefits All), a nonprofit organization focused on educating the community about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

With their expertise, compassion, and commitment to excellence, Nancy and Darrel ensure every dog at Snuggles and Hugs is treated not just as a guest, but as part of the family.

Meet Darrel

Hi, I’m Darrel, the Original Pack Leader. My passion for dogs began years ago with my first companion, Paco, a Shepherd mix, and has only grown since. From a young age, I’ve had a deep understanding and love for dogs. Meeting my wonderful wife, who shares this love for animals, was a beautiful opportunity to expand our pack.

I consider it both an honor and a privilege to lead our K-9 family. My mission is twofold: to help every dog reach its full potential and to educate and inform their human pack leaders. I truly believe in the incredible bond that people and pets can create through understanding and effective communication. By fostering this connection, I ensure that both dogs and their owners can thrive together harmoniously.

Outside of my dedication to our furry friends, I enjoy fishing, playing golf, and spending quality time with my human family.

Meet Nancy

Hello, I’m Nancy, and I have been dedicated to providing exceptional pet care since 2007. My passion for animals runs deep—yes, I’m that person who will stop to help a turtle cross the road! More importantly, I understand the deep bond between pets and their owners and the importance of finding someone you truly trust to care for them.

As a devoted pet owner, I could only relax on vacation when a trusted family member cared for my fur babies. My siblings would even take time off work to ensure my pets received the same love and attention I would provide. This inspired me to create Snuggles and Hugs Pet Care LLC, so pet parents like you could enjoy that same peace of mind, knowing your beloved companions are in the best hands.

My dream has always been to surround myself with animals while providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment where dogs are treated like family. With the support of my wonderful husband, Darrel, we expanded our vision and founded Snuggles and Hugs Active Dog Camp—a boutique, members-only experience offering premium boarding and daycare services.

Our mission is simple: to provide pet parents with confidence and reassurance while delivering a five-star experience tailored to every pup’s needs. Here, your dog isn’t just another guest—they’re family.

Meet Our Pack!

We currently have one wonderful dog, Big Sexy, who we love and pamper just as we did with Maddie, Tyson and Deuce, who all three lived long, beautiful lives. We truly understand the emotional challenge of leaving your beloved pets behind, whether it’s for business trips, vacations, leisure time, or long work hours. The stress can be overwhelming for both you and your pet.

We are here to help and give you peace of mind!

(RIP my sweet baby boy Tyson!)

Testimonials

So, today was Caruso's first official day at Snuggle and Hugs Active Dog Camp.
It's important to know that previous to this day, Caruso's previous two day cares were less than optimal. This is because the floors in the previous day cares are polished concrete and slippery for Caruso. He would simply stand there or walk around. Never play, for fear of loosing his footing.
Today, he played with pure joy and abandon!!
Snuggles and Hugs Active Dog Camp gets 5 stars because:
+ nonslip floors in play areas
+ real grass outside (real grass is cold to the touch and is like an outdoor air conditioner in the hot months for dogs)
+ large outdoor area and lots of room indoors for play
+ people to play with!
+ dogs (but not too many) to play with
+ things to play with (toys, even an agility course!)
+ the Roll Over Lounge. This large room has big soft cushy sofas and chairs for the dogs to settle in for a great nap!!!
+pictures. I was able to see pictures of Caruso playing with the other dogs and playing with Darrel, one of the amazing owners.
+ Nancy and Darrel seem to be highly motivated, well educated (especially in all things "dog"), loving, patient, gentle people.
+ their property is secure
+ and clean
I highly recommend Snuggle and Hugs Active Dog Camp. It truly is a special place. Different from anything I've been able to find.
GO SEE THEM !

We highly recommend their services. We are so happy to have found Nancy and Darrel @ Snuggle & Hugs, our dog is so happy to get there, and absolutely loves her time there. We know this because she really doesn't want to leave! We have brought our dog for the dog camp as well as the overnight stays. It's wonderful to find people that you can trust, we know they are caring for our dog as if she were their own pet.
C.S.P.
We met Nancy and Darrel soon after arriving in The Woodland's area around 2009. Nancy originally house sat for us when we had to be away. She would come by our house many times a day and check on the house and shower our dogs with love and attention. She walked them, played with them, feed, watered, and spoiled them rotten!!! Always giving us updates to relieve our worries!!
Eventually Nancy and Darrel took our four legged kids to their house and watched them there whenever we were away. We just preferred someone with our kids overnight and they made it happen!! They are the most generous and kind people we have ever met!!
Then, one day they mentioned starting an activity camp for the dogs and we were once again thrilled that they included us in their extended job duties!!
Activie Camp has become a staple in our dogs' lives.
They've learned to socialize with other dogs, get plenty of structured exercise and just love their active camp.

Nancy and Darrel are incredibly ambitious and are constantly improving our pets' lives! We have grown to love them dearly. We are so lucky to have met them and want to thank them for all they have done and continue to do to make our family even happier!!! Thank you!!!

When we pull up to Snuggle and Hugs, our 3 year old Stella cannot wait to get out of the car. Nancy greets her with hugs and kisses and off she happily goes. During the day we get texts with pictures of her outside running and playing in the huge yard. Nancy is extremely loving and caring, the day is organized and full of activities. There is no other 'camp' we would rather our Stella be than at Snuggle and Hugs.

As soon as Snickers peeks out the car window and realizes she is at Active Doy Camp, her whole body wiggles with joy! She loves coming to see Nancy and playing with all her friends! She has become more confident and has learned how to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment. Snickers receives lots of individual attention too playing doggie games and puzzles. At the end of the day, she is never ready to leave but is always pleasantly tired and content when we get home. I've always felt Snickers is completely safe and well-cared for; Nancy treats her as if she was her own; Nancy knows her on an individual level - her likes and dislikes. I could go on and on!
We are so lucky to have found Nancy and her Active Dog Camp!

"After several trials with other dog sitting businesses we were fortunate to find Snuggles and Hugs Pet Care. Nancy has been amazing with our dog Coco and provides excellent care every time. We always leave with peace of mind as Nancy cares for our Coco as one of her own. She also gives great advice on everything from training to nutrition. In additional our dog benefits a great deal from the regular Active Day Camps offered!"
