Caring for dogs is a central part of our everyday life—it’s not just something we do, it’s something we love. Our daily routine is built around keeping pups happy, well-exercised, and emotionally cared for. Mornings start with breakfast, potty breaks, and some gentle playtime in our fully fenced yard. Throughout the day, we maintain a predictable rhythm that includes walks, downtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of snuggles. John works part-time at a puppy co-op, so even when he’s away from home, he’s still immersed in caring for dogs and learning new ways to support their health and behavior. On the days he’s home, he joins in for longer walks, games in the yard, or just keeping your pup company. Jess is home full-time and manages the heart of our daily pet care routine. She’s the steady presence that helps dogs feel calm and safe, especially if they’re nervous or new to being away from home. Her consistent attention means your dog won’t be left alone or overlooked—every tail wag and tummy rub is accounted for. Our weekly routine includes rest days, outings (if requested), and flexible time to accommodate dogs with specific needs—whether that’s medication, a crate training schedule, or extra grooming attention. We make it our goal to mirror the comfort, pace, and care you give your dog at home, while providing a structured environment they can thrive in. With pet care woven into our everyday lives, we’re able to offer consistency, personal attention, and a genuine love for each pup we welcome into our home.

Safety, trust & environment
We care for pets in our home as if they were our own. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and homey environment where dogs feel secure, loved, and well cared for. Each dog’s needs and routines are important to us, so we make sure to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, and any specific instructions provided by their owners. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised time in our large, fenced yard for play, potty breaks, and exercise. Inside, they have comfortable resting spots, access to water, and lots of affection. We keep a balanced schedule that includes active play, social time (if they enjoy other dogs), and plenty of quiet time so they don’t get overstimulated. We also provide updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident your pup is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, we adjust our care to meet their personality and comfort level.

Information John & Jessica B. would like to know about your pet
It’s very helpful to know your dog’s daily routine, temperament, and any unique needs ahead of time. We like to ask about feeding schedules, potty habits, sleeping preferences, and how they do with other dogs. If your pup has any allergies, anxiety triggers, or health issues, we want to be fully prepared to keep them comfortable and safe. We also love learning about what makes your dog happy—whether it’s a favorite toy, a certain walking style, or a specific cuddle routine. The more we know upfront, the better we can make their stay feel like home. It’s also important to know if your dog is a fence jumper—we have a fully fenced yard, but if your pup can clear a 5-foot fence, we’ll need to take extra precautions. Likewise, if they tend to be destructive when unsupervised (chewing furniture, escaping crates, etc.), just let us know so we can adjust their care plan to keep them safe and secure. Lastly, if your dog has ever shown signs of aggression or separation anxiety, or has any quirks we should watch for, we’re all ears. None of these are deal-breakers—we just want to make sure everyone, including your pup, has a positive and stress-free experience.
A typical day
If your pup enjoys adventure, we’re happy to include dog parks, lake walks, swimming, or even a good run in their routine. We have a dog life jacket on hand for large to XL breeds, so water-loving pups can join in safely. Our home is right next to the Caldwell Greenbelt, giving us easy access to a beautiful 3.5-mile loop—perfect for daily walks your dog is sure to love!

Pet care experience
Hello! We’re John and Jess :) John is a helicopter pilot and Jess is working on her PhD in Linguistics, and in the mean time, we love to hang with pups! Between the two of us, we’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a wide variety of dog breeds—from high-energy working dogs to calm, older companions. This experience has taught us that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs. We take the time to get to know each pup individually to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our care. Currently, we have a sweet and social golden retriever who loves welcoming new dog friends into our home. Whether your pup enjoys playful interaction or prefers a quiet companion to hang out with, we’re confident our retriever will be a great fit. John splits his time between home and a part-time job at a local puppy co-op, where he helps care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. When he’s not working there, he’s usually home playing with our retriever—or helping care for our Rover guests! Jess is a full-time stay-at-home dog mom, which means your dog will never be left alone and will always have human companionship and supervision throughout the day. We treat every dog who stays with us like family, and our home is set up to be safe, clean, and cozy. Whether your pup is here for just the day or for an extended stay, we’ll make sure they’re happy, active, and cared for just like they would be at home. IMPORTANT: We run our business out of our home, so it is important to us to create healthy boundaries for drop-offs, pick-ups, and meet and greets, so that both us and the rest of our family has privacy and time to spend together without interruption. Our hours of operation for pickups, drop-offs, and meet and greets are 7am-9am and 1pm to 6pm. For extenuating travel circumstances and airline delays, we are happy to make the occasional exception! We also prefer not to do any pick-ups or drop-offs on Sundays. We understand this is an inconvenience to those fun weekend travel plans, so we’re happy to add an extra night free of charge to make the scheduling work for everybody involved! Don’t worry, your pup will have just as much fun during our “off hours” and “off days,” our dog socializing battery never runs out; just our human one does occasionally😂 We also practice the same habits with meet and greets, which means that we keep them to our front porch where we can meet and get acquainted with your pup out in the sunshine. We’re happy to let you peek into our space and walk you around to the back yard! We can also send you more thorough video tours if you want a more in-depth view of our space.
