Care They’ll Wag About!

I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority.

Winston felt completely at home. I have previously boarded him at a kennel and he refused to eat and was a nervous wreck. He loved Jade and Tyler. He ate, ran, and got all the love while I was away. I'm not sure he even wanted to leave. Thank you so much for taking great care of Winston.

We had such a great experience with Jade! Oakley is a very strong, hyper, and energetic puppy, so leaving him with someone outside of our family for the first time was a big deal for us. The meet and greet went great, and Jade made us feel comfortable right away. She kept in touch with us every day and sent pictures, which we really loved. Oakley did great with her! He even let her trim his nails, which says a lot because he is a handful! After reading about Jade and her experience with dogs and training, we felt really good about leaving Oakley with her. She also went above and beyond by giving us some tips for Oakley to be more comfortable and social. We really appreciated that because it showed us she cares about the dogs she watches and wants what is best for them. When we pulled up to get him, he was sitting on the porch with Jade. He barked when he saw us, then got excited to see us, which was exactly what we expected from him. He looked happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust Jade with Oakley again. She was everything we could have hoped for, and we are so glad we found her!🐶🐾

Schedule

I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.

A typical day

For fun and enrichment, the dogs will have a mix of mental stimulation and play-based activities. These include puzzle feeders, frozen puzzle toys, and Kongs to keep them engaged and mentally challenged. We also use feeding mats to slow down meals and make feeding time more enriching. For physical and seasonal fun, we incorporate different play ideas throughout the year, such as pool time and water play during warmer months, along with interactive games and appropriate outdoor play. These activities help keep the dogs happy, stimulated, and well-exercised while also supporting calm, balanced behavior.

It’s important for me to know ahead of time if your dog requires any medication, including what it is, the dosage, and when it needs to be given. Please also let me know whether your dog is crate trained or not, and if they are comfortable being crated. I appreciate being informed in advance about any behavioral concerns (such as reactivity, separation anxiety, or resource guarding) as well as any potty-related issues or routines. This helps me provide the best care and avoid unnecessary stress for your dog. Additionally, please share any special care needs, preferences, or routines that are important for your dog’s comfort and well-being, such as feeding routines, mobility concerns, or anything else you think I should know.
