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!

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.

Pet care experience

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.

Pickle (the dog) and Rhubarb (the cat) seemed to really enjoy their stay. I think Pickle really enjoyed having more playmates, and Rhubarb discovered the wonder of a catio. Joshua was communicative, we got some nice updates and some photos, and the boys are readjusting to home life well. I really appreciated that Joshua suggested a half-day test-run to make sure that Pickle (who is a fairly small dog) wouldn't find his larger ones intimidating or stressful, and that Rhubarb would be okay with being in a new place like that in general. I did know Pickle seemed to loved all dogs he met regardless of size, and that Rhubarb was unusually adaptable for a cat, but even so I was a lot more comfortable leaving them for multiple days already knowing they'd already taken being there well! Next time we need to be away from them, we're likely to make the same choice.

Our dog can be shy at first but enjoyed meeting Joshua and the other dogs. Looking forward to our next vacation knowing our dog will have a comfortable place to stay.

Another very happy visit; Everett got so excited when he realized where we were going! He didn’t even look back to say goodbye at dropoff! Thanks Joshua!
