I’ve grown up with animals around my whole life and I’ve always loved helping others by dog walking or dog sitting. In 2020, due to the pandemic I lost my engineering job less than 2 years after graduating college. I had just bought my house and nobody was hiring so to make mortgage payments I started working through Instacart and Rover. I loved my work with Rover so much, I decided to dedicate the next few years of my life to starting my own daycare. My mom to this day runs a childrens daycare out of the home I grew up in, so I felt like I was familiar enough with the day to day ins and outs of the business that it would be enough to get me going. For the last 2 and a half years, I have spent the majority of my time fully converting my garage into a boarding kennel/play area, and building a strong clientele base. I threw away a 5 year engineering to watch dogs for a living and if given the chance I would do the exact same thing all over again because I absolutely love what I do. Your dogs will have an absolute blast here. I work from home so between 7am and 5pm I am there to care for and monitor the dogs. Since this is what I do full time, I'm able to give them my full attention. The times listed about are also about when I feed them breakfast and dinner, and between about 10-11pm they'll be put in an appropriately sized crate for bedtime and I usually put on a movie for them to fall asleep to. I have just about every accomodation at my home that your dog could need here. I have fully converted my garage to a heated kennel with padded flooring, crates with beds for all sized dogs, clean water available at all times, and an arsenal of toys. The kennel leads to the backyard which is about 2000 square feet, fully fenced in, and covered with about a 6" layer of woodchips.
