Dog Park and Chill
Q: How do you stop a dog from barking in the front yard? A: By putting them in the back yard. Well, if you’re living in San Diego and like me you have neither so you do what the majority of us do and go to the dog park. I’d consider myself extremely fluent in all things dog park related: playing, exercising, training, and socializing. My little boy Apollo and I are typically at the dog park for a good 1-2 hours every day (there’s one at my Apt complex). For boarding and day care I do walks, dog park visits (if ok with you), and regular potty breaks every 2-4 hours. This includes a friendly dog to play with who has lots of energy!

The coolest and friendliest dude. Best dog ever too, Derek and Apollo rock. If you wanna keep ur dog active, taken care of and social this is the guy to go to.
Derek was amazing with our dog! He gave great updates, was super reliable, and you can tell he really cares. Apollo was such a sweet companion too and our pup had the best time. Highly recommend them both!
Derek and Apollo are wonderful! Derek was great with communication, sending pictures and videos, and making sure our pup was happy and well cared for! We will definitely be recommending Derek and Apollo to all of our friends and will absolutely send our pup back!
Derek and Apollo took awesome care of our dog - he sent plenty of pictures and videos and our dog looked happy in all of them! Will definitely book with them again next time we’re out of town!
Zeus always has a blast with Derek and Apollo! Solid stay everytime, highly recommend!
As always Derek & Apollo took great care of Sully! He got lots of play time & affection. I know he’s always in good hands when I leave him there!

Schedule
All dogs fit into my weekly routine! I work fully remote Mon-Fri and can be super flexible with whatever works best for you and your furry companion.

Safety, trust & environment
For boarding and day care I follow a similar schedule to what I do with Apollo (take out 3-4 times a day with 2 hours at the dog park). Feeding depends on your preference. I have a kennel if needed, toys, treats, dog beds, extra bowls, and pretty much anything else you could think of.

A typical day
Typical day for me is to take Apollo out in the morning around 6. Then he eats. Back out around 11. Dog park from about 3-5, 30 min of down time or so when we get home. Then he eats again. Take him out one last time around 9 or 10. Wake up, and do all over again.
