Availability
Standard Hours: 🟣Drop off / Pick up: 8a – 7p I am fexible by request but no middle of the night pick-up and drop-offs, please. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ My daily routine is shaped around the needs of the pets in my care. Tell me your preferences. As a morning person, our day starts early (around 5a) with a little fresh air and breakfast. Weather permitting, two ~1.5 mi. walks daily. One early morning and another late evening. I provide full time pet, meaning your baby is my priority, each day. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ For new guests, I plan so that I am home for the first 24 to 48 hours to ensure a low stress period of acclimation. While I occasionally step out for quick trip to HEB, a quic dog walk in the neighborhood, or a drop in kitty visit, I am usually only away from home for about an hour.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pup's well being is always my top priority. All pups under my care must be current with their vaccinations. Ask to see my pups current shot records. I carry pup friendly first aid and extra water on longer walks, and I stay alert for signs of overheating, fatigue, or stress. All pups remain on leash and under direct supervision during walks at all times. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ For pups I frequently care for, I maintain my own personal care profile that tracks your pup’s habits, needs, and preferences. This helps me provide familiar and consistent care with each visit. However, please do keep your pup's Rover profile updated so I can provide the highest quality of care and adapt to life changes 🤎🐾

Information Chad H. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best "like home" experience, please share a bit about your pup's personality. What do they love? What makes them nervous? Do they have habits I should know about, like marking, chewing, barking, or guarding food? Knowing what makes them nervous or excited allows me to prepare the environment before they even arrive.
A typical day
I like to aim for a balance of fun and relaxation. Morning: Early yard time and sunbathing followed by breakfast and a neighborhood walk. Afternoon: Supervised backyard play and indoor relaxation. Evening: Evening walk, dinner and wind down. All pups sleep indoors with plenty of cozy spots to rest. Sleeping Arrangements: I do not use crates unless specifically requested. However, if your pup finds comfort in one, I have two extra large, clean crates available for their use. I typically have one of the crates fashioned into a den. My pup, Ellie, likes to lounge in there sometimes as do other pup guests. I have numerous doggie beds throughout my home too.

Pet care experience
With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and many other animals, I provide a fun, safe, and structured home for your pup. I provide services for animals full-time both in my home and in your home. I'm very observant of pups personalities during meet and greets and during initial meetings to help ensure a comfortable experience for all. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The Experience I offer a calm, clean, and highly attentive environment. I prioritize quality over quantity, hosting a maximum of two overnight pups in my home at any given time. If you prefer a more exclusive experience for your pup we can discuss a buyout rates where your pup would be the only one during their stay other than my pup, Ellie. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The Environment 🟣Safe Play: A secure, fully fenced backyard perfect for zoomies and sunbathing. 🟣Socialization: All guests are fed separately to mitigate any resource guarding and help maintain a clean and healthy environment. My pup, Ellie, is very respectful of other pups space enjoying their company without being pushy. However, she loves humans and may demand your attention!🤣 🟣Updates: Daily photo and video updates are standard for every stay. 🟣Requirements: All new guests require a Meet & Greet and must be socialized with other pups. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Packing List I like to keep things simple, organized, and low stress. To help your pup settle in quickly and keep our environment calm, please only bring these essentials: 🟣Regular food and any favorite snacks or treats 🟣Medication or supplements 🟣One comfort item, like a blanket, toy, or an old shirt with your scent I keep extra leashes, harnesses, bowls, and other supplies on hand, so you do not need to pack much. My goal is to focus on your pup’s comfort and care without the clutter of extra gear!

Reviews
I appreciate Chad SO much for the love and care he gave my Nibbles while I was away. Nibbles was so excited to see Chad when I was dropping him off, it was as if he's known him forever. The updates through messages and pictures helped a great deal. I will definitely have Chad watch Nibbles again the next time im out of town. Thank you Chad for everything!! You're an amazing person. Be blessed!
Chad was amazing, our dogs loved staying with him. He is very communicative and quick to respond.
Chad was super-attentive, kept in touch with photos and made sure Dreyfus had the best time! Would definitely use him again and I highly recommend!
Chad is SO awesome with my dog! Its my dog's second day at Doggy Daycare and his excitement cannot help but be noticed. He was trying to jump from the window into Chad's arms he was so happy to see him. Considering this is my pup's 1st experience at a Doggy Daycare and he his this happy speaks volumes! Continue the wonderful job you do with my pet and so many others Chad thank you for loving & spoiling my little guy. We look forward to the boarding service coming up soon.
