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.

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.

Madison and Moses were absolutely incredible with our girls, Marley and Luna, while we were away for a week getting married in Tahoe. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in great hands. They treated Marley and Luna like family and made sure they got plenty of exercise, playtime, and socialization with other dogs throughout their stay. Marley can be a little more attentive and Luna has her own personality too, but both girls came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. One thing we especially appreciated was the consistent communication. Madison and Moses kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind during such an important week in our lives. It was also a huge comfort knowing that Moses is a professional dog trainer. His experience and understanding of dog behavior really showed, and we genuinely feel our girls benefited from their time there. We couldn’t recommend Madison and Moses more highly. If you’re looking for people who will truly care for your dogs as if they were their own, look no further. We will absolutely be sending Marley and Luna back to them in the future and are so grateful for everything they did for our girls.

Ivy had a wonderful time at Madison's! She had lots of dogs to play with, ate well, and gave Madison a big goodbye kiss. Madison is very organized and sent lots of photos. We'll be back! Thanks Madison!

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!

We couldn’t be happier with the care they provided for our girl! We were nervous about leaving her for an extended time because of her energy level, but she settled right in and had the best time. The updates and pictures they sent were incredibly reassuring and showed us just how much fun she was having. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands made our trip so much easier. We will absolutely be using them again whenever we go out of town! 🐾
