Highlights
Pet care experience
Free Positive Training Session
Our family brings six years of professional apprenticeship experience under a certified dog trainer, specializing in Karen Pryor positive reinforcement clicker training. Your dog is not just a guest; they receive elite care. For every dog's first overnight stay, I include 15 minutes of complimentary training. We will also provide you with a clicker and a video tutorial so you can seamlessly continue their progress at home. Extra training sessions are available upon request.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We have had the pleasure of having Kendall watch our senior Boxer on numerous occasions. She is one of the most gentle, kind, loving humans I’ve ever met. She treated our guy like he was part of her family. Our seniors needs were a bit more involved than most average situations ie. medications, and food requirements however we were completely comfortable being away knowing that Kendall was taking care of him! That is truly a gift as a pet owner.
Derrick and Kendall are amazing, caring, compassionate, and detail oriented care takers. I would love to have my furry friends come stay at their place with their pack any day. Derrick has apprenticed under A Better Way to Board and has an excellent understanding of obedience training concepts. He has the knowledge passed down through the Karen Pryor training school. He can assist with: relax on a mat, sit, down, stay, leave it, targeting, space (anti-jumping), and loose leash walking. He can certainly help you with all of your puppy needs and I would trust my dog would come back a better dog after staying with him and his family. An added benefit is your pup will have all sorts of novel stimulus with the kids running around, as it's crucial to introduce your pup to as much stimulus early on as possible. Once you stay with Derrick and Kendall's family I know you'll be back every time you're out of town and feel at ease knowing they're in the best of hands and will come back better off after their time.

Schedule
Pet care is the central focus of our daily family routine. Because my husband works from home and I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, someone is always present to supervise, play with, and comfort your dog. We offer premium walking sessions during your dog's stay. If temperatures are too high during the day, walks are exclusively reserved for overnight guests during the cool, early morning hours. To keep our days running smoothly, we operate on a structured schedule: • Drop-off and Pick-up Windows: 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
