Pet care experience

Independently Insured Animal Lover

I'm a life-long owner and lover of all things animal. I've been caring for pets around the neighborhood by doing walks and feedings since I was 10 years old. My first job was at a doggy daycare/boarding center, and I've spent many hours volunteering in animal shelters. In total, I have around 20 years of personal and 15 years of professional experience working with animals from puppies to seniors of all shapes and sizes.

Joshua communicated well and took great care of our pup during a long weekend trip. We received regular updates that we appreciated and look forward to using him again soon.

Everett always has a great time with Joshua! He is so happy when he realizes that that’s where we’re going (and as I’m handing him off, he barely looks back to say goodbye! He’s ready to get right to playing) and when I pick him up he’s relaxed and well cared for! Thank you, we will keep booking here! And a special shout-out to Joshua, who is always quick to respond and is very helpful and flexible!

Schedule

Our lives revolve around our furry family and giving them the best lives as possibly can, and we'd love to help do the same for yours! We strive to treat all the animals under our care as if they were our own. Either myself or my wife, Jennifer, is home around the clock making sure everyone is happy and well cared for. We keep a low boarding capacity so we can make sure we give every animal the individualized and personal care they deserve. I have experience taking care of just about any pet you can think of. Birds, ferrets, reptiles, rodents, aquariums. You name it!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a lovely house with a large, fully-fenced backyard we picked especially for our dogs! We're located in the quiet South Eugene area within walking distance of many trails and parks, so even those pups who don't love to play with have plenty of options for exercise and stimulation. Additionally, I'm independently insured through Pet Care Insurance, so you can rest assured your pet will be safe in the event of accident or illness.

Pets

A typical day

We have two young, playful goldens who are always eager to meet and play with new friends! For those pups who are either past their playing years or it just isn't there thing, our low capacity gives us the ability to focus on their individual needs to keep them happy and active.

Jennifer makes pets treats that she sells online and locally at the Eugene Saturday Market, and we love to spoil the furry family members under our care. If you or they have any allergies, please let us know, but otherwise, just let me know whatever you think will help us best care for them, and we'll make sure it happens!
