Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, I’m a proud dog dad to a sweet two-year-old German Shepherd who keeps life active, fun, and full of playtime. I’m currently in graduate school and spend most of my week studying from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Our home has a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and we’re located near several great parks where I regularly take my dog for walks and exercise—your pup is always welcome to join us! My German Shepherd is very friendly, well-socialized, and loves meeting new dogs, so if your dog enjoys having a playmate, they’ll have a built-in buddy here. Between park trips, backyard time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection, I aim to make every dog feel comfortable, stimulated, and right at home. I’m also happy to be flexible with your dog’s routine and needs—whether that means specific walk schedules, feeding times, or play preferences. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a safe, fun, and loving stay.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 03, 2026

My dog had the best stay with Joshua! He took the dogs to the river and park (after making sure that was okay) and I loved knowing my dog was doing all the things he loves most. Remi is a super sweet dog! Communication was great, and I highly recommend!

Joshua is dependable, loves animals and very trustworthy. He always shows up on time, takes his time to be sure his tasks are done correctly. I would definitely recommend him to anybody!

Schedule

As a graduate student currently completing my master’s degree, I spend most of my week studying and working from home. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or park visit to start the day, outdoor playtime and stimulation in the afternoon, and another walk or activity in the evening. Since I’m home, your pup won’t be left alone and will have lots of supervision, companionship, and opportunities for exercise. My schedule is also flexible, so I’m happy to adjust walks, playtime, feeding, and rest periods to match your dog’s normal routine and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer a calm, safe home environment that’s perfect for dogs who need a comfortable place to stay. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely, and my home has plenty of space for them to relax indoors as well. I don’t have children, which helps keep the environment quiet and predictable for pets who may prefer a more peaceful setting. I also keep a clean, pet-friendly space and closely supervise dogs both inside and outside to make sure they’re always secure and comfortable. My goal is to make every dog feel at home while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in a safe, attentive environment.
