Highlights
Pet care experience
Faithful canine care.
Drop-ins should be more than just a quick 'hello.' It's a chance to invest in the happiness of someone's best friend. Since childhood I've loved training our family's Golden Retrievers and Labs. In college we got my grandmother a German Shepherd and I quickly fell in love with his character and charm and he took good care of her for many years - except on the days when I stole him for a campout in the hammock. When I adopted a young neglected Husky with severe separation anxiety I really began to understand that I was the one being trained. He and the many fosters I took in after him have challenged me to think beyond tricks and good manners to the heart and happiness of the dog. To what really makes a bond. I took everything they taught me and jumped headlong onto the world of doodles and worked with a great team to train service dogs. And before I could process what had happened I was elbow deep in puppy shampoo, uti's and wet noses. And I love it. I hope I can take what would normally be a boring drop-in and give you peace of mind with consistent care and engaging opportunities for your pups with the added bonus of foundational training techniques and fun.

Took a last minute booking for my two wonderful dogs. Kept me updated and sent a picture of my 8 week old pup in a new world.
Nathan was really awesome. My dog came home very happy. I think he had a really good time just like he was on vacation too. I would definitely use Nathan again.
Dogs did good with Nathan, he has a really nice area for the dogs. Would recommend.
Another fantastic experience with Nathan!
This was the first time that Nathan boarded my dog Maya and I will never take her anywhere else. I was really nervous about boarding her because she does not interact with other dogs or other humans very often. She is a 1 year old, large shepherd husky mix and loves to play . Nathan is a natural "dog whisperer" and Maya took to him immediately. When I first arrived, he brought each of the other dogs out one a time to meet Maya in a non-threating way. He has an amazing setup at his house for dogs of all sizes with lots of shaded areas and a timed water fountain in the yard. He even has a/c piped into the sectioned off garage where the dogs kennel at night. The dogs can move freely between the back yard play area and the sleeping quarters for most of the time. Nathan communicates very well and kept me updated before, during and after her stay. I was shocked when he sent me a video with Maya interacting with the other dogs and she was behaving so well. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone needing to board their dogs. It was so refreshing to know that she was in good hands and I didn't have to worry about her during my trip.
Nathan was awesome thank you so much for taking our baby boy Nike on short notice. I recommend him for all dog services and look forward to having nathan watch Nike again in the future!! 5 stars guaranteed!!!!!!

Schedule
I work part time and remotely so I have cameras set up to help me check in with my pups when I'm not at the home. I often take them with me and stop by parks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently offer boarding that provides a safe indoor and outdoor play-space. Fresh water, shade and an air conditioned quiet space are essential. It's important to me that a pup who is feeling insecure can have a safe space away from the action while an excited social pup has the room to explore, relax and play.
Pets
A typical day
Many of the pups that stay here take a day to adjust away from their owner. As we discover their personality and play style we can lean into quality play.
