Safety, trust & environment
We use a 30’ long leash when our dog friends are chilling in the backyard. Have a nice sized home and yard that backs up to a nature preserve. It’s full of animals, smells and sounds that every dog will enjoy. One of our favorite activities is to spot deer, turkey or rabbits on the property. Once the larger animals have moved on. To quickly follow their path into the woods. No matter the breed, dogs love the fresh scent trail. It’s truly an enriching experience they look forward to every time we go outside. We will accept dogs who are “not friendly” with other dogs or animals who suffer for anxiety disorders on a case by case basis, mandatory meet and greet, and at an additional charge.

Information Jay W. would like to know about your pet
To keep them as comfortable as possible and prevent any accidents, we ask to email or print out a brief description of: Normal feeding schedule, including treats. Allergies, food or ingredient limitations. Walk/run and overall daily schedule. Known verbal or hand commands. In progress training. General house rules, are they aloud in the kitchen when you are cooking, sit by the table when you are eating? Where do they sleep at night? We would like to know how they react around other animals on walks or passing by. Are they very reactive, possessive over food or toys?
A typical day
We love to go for walks, smell the woods and check out the animals. Our energy filled son will make sure your dog child is played with, loved and sleeps well at night. We will be outside as much as possible, playing ball and hanging out.

Pet care experience
We provide a loving family experience. We only allow one family of dogs at a time. School drop off and pick up, dogs coming for the ride. Outdoor sports and play dates, sitting on the sideline and extra pets. We are very selective with the dogs we welcome into our home. This is because we truly want to provide a loving, caring, home away from home. The reality is, most dogs will feel some level of anxiety if there are big storms, fireworks or being without their true pack leaders. This is where we step in, using our tested methods of providing extra love, care, pets and kind words. Getting out of the house as much as possible. Truly proving a physically and emotionally enriching experience. We like to think of their stay as, “Staying at Grandpa home”. Spoiled with love and care, can sit on the furniture, given lots of treats (within guidelines provided and mostly training related) and spending as much time as possible in the backyard nature preserve. We expect all house guests to be responsibly clean, groomed and nails trimmed. Please have your dogs professionally cleaned within a week of their stay with us.
Reviews
Jay and his family were a great fit for our dog. It was her first extended stay away from us, and it went so well. We received text and picture updates, and it seemed like a true vacation for her and a much better option than boarding her at a large facility. She received much love, attention, care, and walks. We will definitely request them again for future dog sitting.
My high energy dog is super happy at Jay's house and comes home relaxed and calm!
Jay was amazing with our dog. His home was clean and organized and I felt so comfortable dropping my dog off there. Communication/pictures/videos were great and I was always confident that my dog was being well cared for.
Bolt and Betty loved their stay with Jay and his family. They went on several walks and were treated like family. We received pictures and updates which let us know they were having a great time. Thanks for going above and beyond.
