Safety, trust & environment

I have 4 double fenced large yards that allow the dogs a huge space to run around and play in. If I am sitting multiple dogs at once it is super easy for me to keep them safe and separated if needed. The dogs always come back clean well fed and happy!

Information John R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup have any allergies or aversions to certain types of food or environments. I’ve worked worked with dogs with seizures, disorders and disabilities, there’s nothing you can’t throw at me that I haven’t already seen!

A typical day

The dogs and I will participate and fun activities like tug o war, fetch and play time with other daycare pups if they are compatible.

Low prices because I just love dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, I’ve worked with vet techs, groomers, volunteered at the shelter and worked with all kinds of breeds and temperaments. I will treat your dog like they are my child!

My dog is a repeat customer. She was happy to see the staff during drop-off, and returned home in geat shape. I appreciate that they didn't over-feed her, because the vet gave directions for a diet. This is just a place that is genuinely dog-friendly. I'm very comfortable leaving her with John and his staff.

Boarding with John is wonderful. Our dog has stayed with him twice; the first time for a weekend and the second time for one week. She was so well cared for both times. I highly recommend boarding with John.

Mr. John took care of my first born fur baby very well! It’s nice to know I have someone reliable who can take care of my dog while I’m traveling. Will not be the first or last time booking with Mr. John 10/10!
