Unplanned overages may be charged. MUST LOVE DOGS & CATS Boarding + Daycare in our home I live with four other people: one human (my partner Jason), one canine (a 2-year-old Border Collie Poodle girl), and two felines (a 1-year-old girl and a 13-year-old queen). All of them are very friendly and well socialized. However, this means that if I board your dog, or take them in for daycare, they have to be familiar and respectful with cats, and well-socialized with dogs. Ideally they love playing and chasing (but not the cats). I work from home on my budding dog business, and I am enrolled in two different prestigious academies, studying canine behavior and training. It is easy for me to have another dog around, but I will require a visit to my house first to ensure the dogs get along, and your dog won't chase my cats. Ideally, we go for a walk together first, to give the dogs the opportunity to meet on neutral turf. I will only take one guest dog at a time. They'll get to play to their heart's content with my dog in a fully fenced large yard. My partner Jason and I just love all animals. I will be your sitter / primary caretaker, but in our home, Jason will give a lot of additional affection and attention, when he's around. I’ve been a dog parent for over 20 years, and have lots of experience with all ages and special needs. I am very diligent about catering to your dog’s specific needs and keeping you updated as frequently as you like, including lots of pictures. FORCE-FREE POLICY I will never use choke, prong, slip, or e-collars of any kind. If you want me to take your dog on walks, please bring a harness for safety. I usually drive my own dog to various trails in the area every morning and we go 3+ miles, I'd be happy to take yours on hikes, too, if they like car rides and can handle the exercise. Your dog will be with me and my dog all day long. Throughout the day, I take frequent breaks and let them out, be it for more walks, or a game of fetch or chase in our large yard. As soon as I'm certified as a dog trainer, I'll be happy to take on training as well. I will watch your dog in my home. I’ll adhere to their normal schedule and needs. They'll have a friendly play buddy in my own dog.

“5 stars isn’t enough for this review!! Jessica and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving my furry child for the day so we could be on vacation. The doggy play yard is amazing and has more than ample room for them to run around!! He came home well rested each day and was more than excited to go back the next day!!”

About: I strive to provide a structured environment for day care as well as boarding. I have experience with pet dogs, as well as working dogs and high energy breeds. I am available to provide care for your dog(s) in my house, and can offer the following services for your pet: -Individual walks/runs -Swimming adventures -Swimming in our inground pool (Texas only) -Basic training (obedience/manners) -Play time All dogs will be cared for individually and separately- I will not have your dog out with any other dogs while they are in my care. I accept a max of 3 dogs per day to ensure that I can allocate proper time and attention to each dog. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to give your dog the individual attention they need. Let me know your goals- whether it's working on basic obedience training, incorporating more exercise into your dog's schedule, or simply having a day care/boarding location that provides a level of structure without adding other dogs into the mix. This can be especially beneficial for dogs who are reactive, as well as senior dogs who are not necessarily interested in playing with other dogs. Any dogs being boarded, or coming for doggy daycare will have some time spent in a crate during the day/overnight. They will be given individual attention, exercise and play time.

“Kevin (and his sweet greyhound) took great care of my dog for the day! He was very flexible when our schedule changed by about 90 min and we picked her up later than planned. So grateful!”

“Peter and Sarah took great care of my pup Farmer for the day so I could enjoy some awesome hiking! They took him on lots of fun walks and kept me updated with cute photos throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend them and would love to book them again!”

About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day
