Highlights
Pet care experience
We are a Dog-Lovin' Household
We live next to the Arboretum in Madison Valley and love dogs and warmly welcome them as our guests, while their primary care peeps are away. Each pooch is unique and we try to accommodate their individuality. Old, young, small, big, dogs are great and just super-fun!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
James and Jackie took great care of Dorito, and on short notice. They have a great home and yard for dogs, and we really appreciated the updates and photos during our trip.
Jackie and James were wonderful with my elderly dog who has vision and hearing deficits. They took excellent care of her and were flexible with pickup and drop off. I can’t recommend them enough!
James and Jackie showed our dog a great time! They have a great setup for dogs and Goose seemed immediately happy and comfortable right when he walked in. He came home happy and tired - ideal!
James and Jackie were great with my dog Sumo who we boarded for 9 days while we were on vacation. We got quick responses and frequent updates and I wasn’t worried about him at all. He seemed very much at home from all the pictures I received!
Bagel & Lox were so well taken care of. I can't thank you guys enough. Will definitely be utilizing your services again. Thank-you so much for taking great care of my fur babies!
Hermy was so comfortable at their house! I got regular updates and pictures and they brought out the playful side of my reserved and anxious dog. They were easily able to handle a dog that took a few days to settle in!

Schedule
Jim works from home and he keeps weekday hours. Jim usually walks dog guests every morning before 7:30 am in the Arboretum. We then feed dog guests with breakfast and a treat, while we make coffee for the household and have a bit of breakfast for myself. Jim also gives dog guests a mid-day mini walk and then feed them once more around 6pm. Thereafter we enjoy each other's company for the rest of the evening, before we walk our dog guests once more before bedtime. We frequently have other dogs from around the Puget Sound stay with us when their primary caregivers are away, so its easy for us to accommodate another dog or two.
