I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and my dog Rick who is now 9 years old enjoys the company. I mainly care for middle aged and senior dogs but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve for training younger dogs.

Fred is awesome. He took great care of my girls and sent photos multiple times daily. I didn’t even have to bother to check in on them because he always kept me up-to-date. He’s very patient as well and worked on training my girls as well. And to top it off, he has a great sense of humor!

Fred was amazing! Our 2 dogs loved him and he took great care of our home while we were away. He paid atttention to details, he arrived early for the hand off on our departure day, he stayed in communication every day, he even sent us beautiful professional pictures of our dogs. Thank you Fred! We will definitely work with Fred again.

Schedule

I currently a working professional (8am-5pm) so I actively manage my time around caring for pets on a consistent schedule. After work, I will usually go for a long walk with Rick or take him to the park.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is by the dog park behind Pilot brewing. My dog is very food motivated as most are so I do my best to do at least three training sessions a day with Milk Bones. I am open to using other treats also if your dog has dietary restrictions. Bathing and training are available upon request but every dog under my care will receive the recommended amount of food a day and a lot of exercise.

Pets

A typical day

I like having a treat training sessions with Rick once a day. When we board other dogs they will usually follow suit in the session since most dogs enjoy milk bones. Rick is also a high energy dog (at times) so he is usually able to tire out any dogs that we board within the day.

Fred can host up to 2 pets per night
It is important to me to know what kind of dietary restrictions and medications any dog may have that I am boarding. Rick (my dog) has pancreatitis and I usually feed him a low fat kibble to manage that so if any other dog has a condition I would be happy to accomodate.
