Safety, trust & environment

I have installed gates to separate sections of my yard when necessary. This is great for those who may not play well with others and need their own space away from my, or other client's dogs. Additionally, I have a couple large outdoor kennels (approx 4'x8', shaded, with an enclosure attached). These areas provides an additional layer of separation if needed, or serves as an outdoor area for escape artists who will be outside during my absence... additionally, my set up allows for easy client access with codes. So if you are running late, plans change, or I'm not home you can let yourself into the yard to drop off or pick up your pup. No hassle for me or you, so no stress on either end. Im amenable to providing care, stimulation, obedience training, etc as directed by you the pet owner. My goal is to provide a low stress, safe, and friendly environment for your dog so you can try to worry just a little less while you are away. While I'm at work all dogs will be outside in the fenced yard with access to shade, water, toys, and other dogs if they get along well. When I am home dogs are able to do what they prefer. In or out, couch or bed. What makes them happy makes me happy.

Information Jeffrey H. would like to know about your pet

Any specific needs or training/routines I need to enforce or follow. Emergency medical care requests. I understand Rover's guarantee, but you may have a specific vet or instructions for me to follow in the unlikely event. Any behavioral issues such as excessive barking, or separation anxiety, and whether you approve of the use of a bark collar as a corrective measure.

A typical day

My dogs love chasing Kong toys around the yard so hopefully yours will want to get in on the daily fun. Beyond that simple play or relaxing time with plenty of belly rubs is the norm. I also put a lot of effort into socialization for those who aren't experienced running with a pack.

Pet care experience

Growing up we always had 1 to 3 German Shepherds. Today I am privileged to work as a canine handler in a law enforcement role. I have extensive experience in detection, track and trail, and obedience work. At my home I have 3 large dogs. 1 retired Sable Shepherd, 1 working Shepherd, and an Agouti Husky.

Jeffrey was very communicative and helpful. He made everything convenient and took great care of my dogs. He even sent videos of the fur babies to keep my mind at ease while away.

My dog seemed to have really enjoyed herself during boarding with Jeffrey. I felt relieved to know he has professional dog handling skills. I’m glad she has a happy place to go to while I’m traveling.

Our dog is a high energy boy, and when we leave him with someone unfamiliar, I tend to get anxious. I did not feel this once with Jeffrey, he kept me updated with our dog. Our boy actually came back home missing Jeffrey and his pack, I’m forever grateful for the care he gave to Mars. I highly recommend him, he’ll have your dog feeling right at home and you’ll be able to enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.
