Pet care experience

Home 24/7 - fully fenced yard too!

I’m available for boarding 24/7 as my partner and I work at home. We have a 2300 square foot house and are always there. The maximum amount of time your dogs will be alone is 3 hours. I’m also available for the majority of federal holidays. We have a big house with a huge yard protected by a privacy fence. Our house is extremely dog friendly as it is complete with vinyl floors and safe furniture. There are also dog beds galore. Dogs should have no issues of past aggressive behavior and it is essential they get along with other dogs. Dogs MUST BE fixed. Also, ALL MEET AND GREETS TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE. This is for the safety of the dogs. If you would like to see the inside of the house, we can always do a video chat through Rover. Please be on time. If past thirty minutes late you may incur day care fees. Also, we do not allow you to do drop in visits while we watch the dogs because it also causes disruptions. There are breeds I do not take due to insurance reasons: pit bulls, American bull dogs, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chows, Wolf Hybrids.

Pets

A typical day

I always believe you should set dogs up for success. This is done by making sure they have a safe area to burn off energy or by walking them in a safe setting. I love watching dogs play tag and tug of war.
