Love is more valuable than treats.
Pet care experience
After the passing of my 13 year old pup, I feel it’s finally time to open my home and heart to pets who need a temporary place to relax while their family is away. I specialize in reward-based obedience training and off-leash walks, but can read a hound to evaluate if they’re ready. I don’t mind sitting on the couch and watching tv with a dog, but totally respect boundaries set by parents in the in-house conduct of their hound. I’m 6’3” about 250lbs so any temperament is cool with me.
Reviews
Dj was great! I can tell the dogs had a great time and felt at ease.
My puppy, Bean, absolutely loved his boarding experience with DJ! DJ was able to create an environment where Bean could run around and use up all his energy, and also follow all my detailed instructions, including administering medication. I highly recommend DJ for all your doggy boarding needs!
We are so happy to have found DJ. Not only was he a true last minute life saver - I was able to book him at the last minute with only 24 hours notice, but he was professional, communicative, and took the best care of my two high energy pups. He sent regular updates even though it was a short stay and kept the pups active and loved. It's easy to see why he has such a great reputation on here, we will definitely be rebooking with him.
Of course Dj P. is a 5 Star Rover sitter! His service is exemplary across every field of dog sitting. Our Bo was rather hesitant to get back into our truck. Seems like she would rather stay with Dj. :) I think that tells the dogs half of the story!. I highly recommend Dj. You won't be sorry. His care for your pet is above and beyond. And this is from someone who has used Rover many, many times. Dj is Primo!

I have a fenced front and rear yard, but don’t necessarily believe in crates when I’m home. My home is puppy proof and I no longer have pets of my own that may cause conflict.

I work less than 3 minutes from my home, and often times I am permitted to stay home if needed. I’m up by 5am and winding down by 8pm and have plenty of time to ensure your hound is engaged if they want to be.
