In Home or Kennel Boarding Offered

Pet care experience

During my time as a K9 Military Police Officer in the Army I was responsible for 24 hour care for our canine partners. I use that professional training to provide expert care to family pets both in my home or in my spacious indoor kennel options. I aim to provide peace of mind for the owner and a vacation for the pet. I have experience with all ages of dogs/cats from newborns to senior requiring specific timely routines and cares. I ask that the owner provide the preferred food to prevent any stomach issues, but we of course clean any accidents without cost to the owner. Our property is completely fenced, and we offer both a traditional front yard as well as an open one acre pasture to fully run out their energy. We provide some basic toys and treats, but are happy to keep with your play routines if you bring on over your pet's preferred toys. If your companion prefers walking to free play we are happy to accommodate daily with no additional cost. We also take pictures and sometimes videos during your pet's stay so you can have the peace of mind knowing they're having a great time.

My puppy had the best time with James! James is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, and I knew my pup was in great hands over the holidays.

James provided us and our dog with the best boarding experience we could ask for. He sent pictures, was great with communication, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Would 1000% book again :)

We bring our dog to James every time we go somewhere. She always has so much fun playing with the other dogs and gets lots of love from James and his family.

Information James J. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

We generally base the dog's routine on the client's description of home routines. In short our home is located right next to The Spanish Trail for long, but easy walks in addition to multiple supervised runs in our back fenced acre. If the client's dog is friendly with other dogs we will expose them to our pets first, our Shar Pei is our most laid back and forgiving of excitable new guests, then they can enjoy playing throughout the day in and out of the house. If you'd rather one on one attention we have a number of enrichment toys from tug, fetch, an obstacle ramp, and detection games.

I operate a dog boarding and training business from home full time so your companion will only be home alone (secured in a run, suite, or kennel) for short periods of time due to normal errand runs. We offer round the clock care including overnights should your companion need extra care at no additional cost. If you live within 30 miles of us we will pick up your companion at no additional cost.
