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. You will enjoy your time away from your pet under our care. You will have peace of mind! 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. He helps families that don’t take vacations because of their dog. He has a background in professional photography as well so expect a photo or two from him! 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.

Madison and Moses are absolutely amazing! We left our two boys with them for about a week while traveling and couldn't be happier with the experience. We had never boarded our pups before so we were definitely nervous at first but after meeting Madison and Moses, we had full confidence in them. They are very knowledgeable in dog behavior and even helped our boys learn how a thing or two about socialization during their stay. They provided us with updates and photos throughout the entire stay and were able to accommodate my boy's medication needs and a flight delay without issue. 10/10 would recommend and will be rebooking in the future!

My dog stayed at Madison's home for 5 days. My dog is a very anxious dog so I wanted to find the right home for boarding, and I couldn't have asked for better place! Madison's husband knows dogs very well so I trusted them with my dog. When they sent photos of him everyday, my dog's tail was up and he was playing with other dogs! Also, he was eating his food from the first day, which never happened before. They must have some magic with dogs. I would definitely come back here for either boarding or daycare! Thank you so much for taking great care of my dog :)

My dog can be shy at first, and had some separation anxiety when I leave him. He was well taken care of during his stay and even opened up to playing more with all the dogs that were also being boarded. I would highly recommend and will absolutely use them again.

This was my first time using Rover for Frankie and Poppy and we had a great stay with Madison and Moses! My dogs are fairly shy and Poppy has a lot of anxiety, but they were so understanding of this and let the dogs take their time. We got updates about the girls which was very nice since it was our first time and we were worried about them. There was no need to worry, they had a great time. We would definitely like to go back again!
