Availability

This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know.

A typical day

A Typical Day 🐾 A typical day starts between 6–7am with a quick bathroom break, followed by our first meal between 8–9am. After breakfast we head outside for playtime — fetch, chasing games, tug of war, wrestling, park adventures, or simply the dogs enjoying each other's company. Once they're tired out, we head inside to reset — some TV, music, and downtime. We don't want the dogs burning out, especially since the first session is always the hardest! After recharging, we head out for a walk around the neighborhood in small groups, come back home and enjoy some sun. Dinner is served around 4–5pm 🥣. We wind down until around 6pm, then head back out one last time around 7pm — a final stretch, bathroom break, and burn off any remaining energy before heading inside for the night 🌙.

Pet care experience

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my profile. 🐾 “ Mostly Long Term Boarding “ A Little About Me: My name is Jon, and ever since I was small I've had a strong connection to animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant in my life, allowing me to understand more of how they operate socially. I'm attentive and have many years of experience with dog behavior. I'm always cautious of any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. I live in a house with a secure, tall gate along the entire perimeter of the property 🏡 — sectioned to accommodate different groups, from small all the way to extra-large dogs — with plenty of shade available. Behavior Assessment 📋 I always ask for a behavior assessment if it's your first time with me, although I can be flexible if it's urgent or last minute. I will still assess your dog at my home at the time of drop-off, slowly introducing them to the pack, starting with my dog Maya 🐕. If it's not a good fit, they can be kept separate, with their own room and outdoor space. I always ask three questions: Does your dog have any allergies? Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? Does your dog have any medications? If there is anything else you think is important to know before their stay, please share. Other things to mention: resource guarding, escape tendencies, eating strange objects, any previous incidents with other dogs or people, or anything else I should be aware of. Also let us know if your dog has any special dietary requirements. If you have wet food, we have a full fridge available for them. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Jon was great with my two large dogs! One is full of energy and wants to play all the time, and the other is stand-offish, but Jon did great with them and integrated them into his pack like a pro. He also sent plenty of videos! He was also able to take them in on short notice, which was extremely helpful. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again, Jon!

My dog lives in a home with a very limited area to explore. She gets very weird about dog parks, and she is nerved out around other dogs. So when I saw how much space she got to explore at Jon's home, I was elated. And though I didn't get much in the way of pics or videos, (I cut the stay short, my family was dying to reunite with her) I could see that she was comfortable and confident. Jon and his family were loving and nurturing with her, and she will be seeing them in the future!

Jon is the best. We’ve used him for 3 years now for long stays for our pup.
