Hi! I'm Adam. I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud Golden Retriever owner who understands that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and my goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I'm proud to have earned multiple 5-star Rover reviews, and many of my clients have trusted me with repeat bookings. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for so every guest receives plenty of individual attention, exercise, affection, and a calm, low-stress environment. Whether your pup enjoys playing, relaxing, or simply staying close to people, I'll do my best to make them feel like part of the family. During every stay, you'll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. My goal isn't just to provide a safe place to stay—it's to make sure your dog enjoys their time here and goes home happy, relaxed, and excited to come back. Dogs enjoy supervised access to my home and fully fenced backyard for potty breaks and play. For everyone's safety, dogs are always fed separately and sleep separately at night. During periods of extreme heat, outdoor activities may be shortened and replaced with indoor enrichment, playtime, or shaded potty breaks to help prevent heat stress and protect sensitive paw pads. Whether you're booking boarding, daycare, drop-ins, or walks, my goal is simple: Treat your dog like family. **Before You Book** Please make sure your dog's Rover profile is up to date with: - Feeding schedule - Medications (if applicable) - Behavioral notes - Emergency contacts - Veterinary information The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can provide personalized care. **Pickup & Drop-Off Hours** 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM If you need pickup or drop-off outside these hours, please let me know when submitting your request. Whenever possible, I'm happy to accommodate. **Availability** I'm home full-time most days, so your pup will receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and opportunities to relax. On some weekdays, I may be away from home for a few hours during the day (typically with a break around lunchtime). If this applies to your booking, I'll always let you know beforehand so you can decide whether it's the right fit for your dog. Boarding Boarding is available year-round. If I'll be away during the day, I only accept dogs that are comfortable being left alone for a few hours. I'll always discuss my schedule before confirming your booking so there are no surprises. Doggy Day Care Daycare is offered only on days when I'll be home throughout the day. My Rover calendar is kept up to date so you'll always know my availability. Dog Walks & Drop-In Visits Walks and drop-ins are generally available: - Before 10:00 AM - After 5:00 PM If you need a midday visit, feel free to ask—I may still be able to accommodate depending on my schedule. For your dog's safety, walks may be shortened during periods of extreme heat and replaced with indoor enrichment or shaded potty breaks when appropriate. I never overbook myself and accept no more than two guest dogs at a time, ensuring every dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. **What to Bring** For boarding stays, please bring: - Enough food for your dog's entire stay - Any medications (if applicable) - Leash and collar or harness - Treats (optional) - Favorite toys (optional) - Dog bed or blanket (optional) - Crate (optional, if your dog prefers or is accustomed to one) Please also let me know about any routines, commands, quirks, or favorite activities that help your dog feel comfortable. The more I know, the more I can help your pup feel at home. **Meet & Greet** I require a meet-and-greet for all new boarding and daycare clients. This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and make sure we're a great fit before your dog's stay. I also have a friendly resident Golden Retriever, Duchess. Meet-and-greets allow us to introduce the dogs in a relaxed, controlled environment and help ensure everyone is comfortable before booking.
