Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Jogs With Dogs
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 or in your home. I'm very observant of pups personalities during meet and greets to help ensure a comfortable experience for all. To help ensure the safety of all pups and human visitors, I am unable to host pups that demonstrate aggression towards other pups or humans. Thank you for understanding! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The Experience I offer low volume, 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 bedding, 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!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Chad is great. This was our first time leaving our two senior Chihuahuas at home with drop-in visits. It went so well and he was so caring with them. Thanks Chad!
Chad took great care of my 3.5 y/o great pyrenees. No issues, from scheduling to stay to pick up, everything was very easy and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Bond in his care. Perfect level of updates and pictures, and we will book with Chad again!
Chad was just amazing. I have a timid dog and he took the time to build rapport and trust with her. He kept me updated on every check in. You can tell he truly is a dog lover and I never once worried that my Shia was in the wrong hands. I cannot recommend Chad enough.
Chad was so responsive and my dogs really enjoyed staying at his place! Chad’s pup is also a sweetheart, my dogs enjoyed having an extra friend for a few days. As always, we’ll be using him for any future vacations!
Chad truly saved my trip! Had to find someone to watch my dog last minute and Chad came through. He was professional and a great communicator who put me at ease. My dog is typically nervous meeting new people, but at the end it really looked like she warmed up to Chad. Definitely recommend!
Chad was incredible and so diligent in taking care of Destiny and the other dogs with her. He was great about sending me updates and very responsive overall. He knows a lot about dogs and really devotes his time to them, I highly recommend him!!

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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 🤎🐾
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.

- 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.
