I eat, sleep, and breath dog.

Pet care experience

I realized while raising my two Amstaff pups, which are now 7yrs old, that dogs are my calling. Those 2 have turned into larger pac which allow me to give great socialization for dogs that come here. Offering dog owners services like boarding, daycare, and dog training are perfect outlets for my passion. I am comfortable with any breed from big to small, furry to hairless, and young to old! I previously workded at a kennel on weekends that can take up to 40 dogs per day and since leaving have started my own. In 2018 I took my dog passion a step farther and completed a 24/7, on campus course through "National K9 School for Dog Trainers" to become a Certified Professional Dog Trainer in Obedience, Behavioral Modification, and Puppy Development. This course has given me a better insight into the human/dog relationship and has allowed me to learn how to effectively communicate with our furry friends. I've worked with and trained aggressive dogs to sweet, gentle dogs and attribute my success to motivation, discipline, accountability, a leadership mentality, my education, and knowledge of dogs in each individual situation. Dogs are what I do all day long! Aside from pet care, I am also the owner of a dog training business which has been steadily growing even during pandemic times since I graduated school. Training is however,separate from pet care. I want to be able to provide my knowledge and services when daily schedule challenges for owners may be conflicting. I am available 24/7 unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I look forward to hearing from you and your dog/s!

We boarded our sweet Winnie with Jason over Spring Break. It was her first time away from home. She was a bit shy at first, but came out of her shell and loved it. Jason communicated well, explained everything and even sent us photos and a video. We will definitely use Jason's service again!

Booked a first time stay, and then two more over the last several months. Jason was very accommodating and communicative each time. Our pup always seemed happy after each stay. She was really excited when we pulled up for the most recent boarding, and happy to see Jason. The only thing is; we can't tell if her whining, when we pick her up, is because she is happy to see us, or sad to leave Jason and all her furry friends!

Jason was wonderful. Not only did he do a meet and greet before drop off he was quick to respond during my check ins as this was my 1st time getting a dog sitter. Freddy and Jason bonded instantly, he has a great setup for the dogs Freddy played with other dogs enjoyed working in the yard with Jason. Jason not only was tentative to my fur baby he also trained him while he was there. Freddy enjoyed his visit so much I don't think he missed much. Freddy came home clean and happy 😁 thanks Jason

Jason was able to take both my dogs within hours for 3 nights and days after my house sitter text me saying she had the flu. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with the dogs. You can tell the dogs respect him. He updated me when I text asking how they were. My older dog usually doesn’t eat when I leave her places and she ate the entire time. She also was much more relaxed when I came to pick her up than she has been at any other boarding facility and that spoke volumes to me. I will be using Jason for boarding needs here on out!

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are what I do full time. I have heated kennel(see pictures) in my pole barn so that I am able to comfortably and safely board multiple dogs at a time. During the day they have supervised free range of the pole barn and outside run. I also have a smaller run for smaller dogs or dogs who need private play or are unsure about larger groups. My own dogs also love to come òut and make new friends and romp around and clients dogs are more than welcome to play and hang out with them as well. We play, we exercise, we relax and snuggle! I try to emulate the same stress free environment as if they were in their own home. The goal is a home away from home
