I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. There is always an adult at home able to provide care for the dogs. This is my partner’s full time job as well so you can always expect them to be safe with lots of affection and expert knowledge and understanding of your dog and breed.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority. I provide a loving and safe environment for your pet. The fence is 6ft tall. We have a secondary gate five feet away from our entry gate to ensure no dogs run away. We provide air tags to all dogs while they’re under our care. They are constantly supervised. My partner helps facilitate play time to make sure all dogs are comfortable, happy and safe. The key to that is picking up body language and getting to know the dog through the owner. We have a very specific methodology when introducing new dogs to the pack to ensure confidence and safety among them all.

Information Madison G. would like to know about your pet

Weekend drop offs preferably after 10 am. Please board the night before if you cannot drop off after 10 am on weekends. Our home is our business so we do our best make it feel like a family home on weekends. Weekday drop offs start at 6 am. Meet and greets are done on Sundays; we dedicate our weekdays to our boarding AND daycare clients. Let us know if there are any behaviors that should be addressed appropriately to ensure their happiness and safety. We prefer that you Please pre pack all of their meals in ziplock bags with their name and feeding instructions.

A typical day

The dogs have direct access to the yard from the “dog den” which is a dedicated living room just for our guests. They all get time to play together but we also emphasize Individual time with the dogs to ensure they’re happy and relaxed. Play and feeding time is some times done depending on the dog’s breed. For example, If it’s a hound, we may hide treats in areas to help them use their nose which is very rewarding to them. All dogs are fed separately in crates or in separate rooms.

Pet care experience

We are home full time. We offer round the clock care for your dog! Our goal is to make your dog confident and comfortable as quickly and as efficiently as possible. You will have peace of mind while you’re away! Most of our dogs are regulars so they understand the house rules and play etiquette. We are always stepping in and advocating for our new dogs that may be shy or nervous about their new environment and the pack; Moses specializes in this area. I work full time from home with a flexible schedule. My partner is a dog trainer specializing in behavioral modification. This is his full time job! He helps me handle the bigger or more “confident” dogs and helps acclimate our new guests. He helps families that don’t take vacations because of their dog. I have a fenced in yard (6ft height)with a second entrance gate for extra security. I provide daycare and boarding. If your dog does not come with an AirTag on, one will be provided for your peace of mind during their stay. Most large dog facilities charge for extra play time or one on one affection. All of this is included in their stay. We believe this should be the standard. No dog is the same so we don’t use cookie cutter methods to bring unity within our pack and new dogs. Figuring out what works best for your dog in our temporary home is a challenge we happily accept.

Truly amazing! My 2 year old lab is what we call “socially awkward”. She’s very friendly with people but can be timid and shy with other dogs. However, she really thrived while staying with Madison and her husband. I cannot thank them enough for all of the photos and updates of our girl while we were away for the fourth of July weekend. We knew she was in great hands and taken well care of. We definitely will be rebooking for future trips. Thank you!

We're happy we chose Madison and Moses to watch Jerry. We got lots of pictures and it looked like he had a great time. They are great with communication and everything went smoothly.

Madison took such great care of Sansa. She was very communicative and attentive. We ended up extending her stay for a lot longer than planned. Sansa was well taken care of and were so thankful for that.
