Safety, trust & environment

I have a large pet friendly house with a fenced in yard (5 ft shy of a double lot). Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have multiple floors if dogs need to be kept separate. Drop off is super easy. There is a fire hydrant directly in front of my house and parking behind my garage as well. Since I accept multiple dogs I only accept over 1 year, fixed and friendlies.

Information Ian T. would like to know about your pet

I have plenty of experience with all types of different dogs. I am sure I can accommodate your pups needs! Feel free to reach out at any time with questions.

A typical day

I have a plethora of dog toys as well as a bunch of stuff to play with outside if the weather is nice. I have a large back patio with a dog gate on it I work from when it is nice out. Puppies are always supervised in the yard. Only a couple blocks to the riverwalk for pup walks. and I have a 6 ft puppy bench in the front bay windows that is always a favorite. It is a very quiet street. I believe in plenty of play during the day so we can snuggle at night. Not only do I want your baby to be happy and healthy, but I do not want you to worry while on your trip.

Ian is incredible — very professional, easy to communicate with pre-stay, and took wonderful care of our Leo! Especially appreciate the many many photos he shared, so we could see how much fun he was having!

I had a wonderful experience with Ian. He took excellent care of Ringo during his boarding stay and made sure he was comfortable & happy. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the updates and the pics!. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in Ian's care. I would happily book with him again and highly recommend him!
