Preparing to open
What Sterling is preparing to offer.
Not every dog thrives in a loud, one-size-fits-all daycare or boarding environment. Sterling is being built for families who want something calmer, more structured, and more attentive. Our routines are shaped by each dog’s size, temperament, comfort, and social fit, with the same calm, attentive standard guiding every dog in our care. Future daycare and boarding will begin with evaluation and intake approval. Joining the interest list is non-binding.

CalmTrack™ method
Care matched to the dog, not one-size-fits-all.
CalmTrack™ is Sterling’s fit-based care method for observing each dog, matching the day to their needs, and communicating clearly with owners.
Observe
We take time to understand each dog’s temperament, energy, comfort, social signals, and how they settle into a calm space.
Match
We plan compatible small-group time and the balance of structured play, rest, and quieter moments based on observation, care notes, social fit, and the day’s capacity.
Communicate
We keep owners informed with clear, plain-language notes about how their dog’s day was planned and how it went.
Observe
We take time to understand each dog’s temperament, energy, comfort, social signals, and how they settle into a calm space.
The goal is to see the dog in front of us before deciding what kind of day fits best.
Match
We plan compatible small-group time and the balance of structured play, rest, and quieter moments based on observation, care notes, social fit, and the day’s capacity.
Care routines remain fit-based and observation-led throughout the day.
Communicate
We keep owners informed with clear, plain-language notes about how their dog’s day was planned and how it went.
Communication is part of the care method, not an afterthought.
CalmTrack™ is a care method — not an app, a portal, a training program, a behavior program, veterinary care, or a guaranteed outcome.
Why this matters
Choosing where to leave your dog is a big trust decision.
These are the principles Sterling is being built around — and why they matter before day one.
Fit-based care
Care routines consider each dog’s size, temperament, comfort, care notes, and observation, with compatible grouping, rest, and clear supervision.
Clear communication
Clear, plain-language communication helps owners understand how care is planned and how their dog is doing.
