Quality & Loving Dog Care

I have 3+ years experience boarding dogs professionally, but have had dogs my entire life. They get out twice a day (either off leash at the park or structured on leash around the neighborhood). The dogs play in my living room and have full access to the deck & yard during waking hours. Sleeping arrangements vary on the dog. Everyone here is fed separately! Very experienced in reading dog body language to prevent incidents as best as possible. Pups here are usually always supervised by a human - rarely left unattended and separated if so (at max 40 min on rare occasions)

Nikolai and his wife have a lot of experience watching after all breeds and sizes of dogs. My pup stayed with them along a large group of other pups over the holidays and we had an overall good experience with them. I was happy to know that our pup had plenty of friends to be with during his long stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs can be unpredictable. I have chased dogs who have slipped their leashes for miles around the neighborhood. I have broken up fights. Carried a 55 pound pitbull who went into anaphylactic shock 4 blocks to my car and raced her to the vet. I've spit in dogs noses to save them from a foxtail (it works by the way). When you drop off your dog at my house rest assured you're getting someone who will do everything they can to keep them happy, and safe. That being said, these accidents rarely happen, but when they do, we always make the necessary changes and add preventative measures to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

Pets

A typical day

The day is structured around outing times. The first outing will take place between 8-11am and the second outing will take place 4-8pm. You learn very quickly that dogs who are adequately exercised are a lot better behaved then dogs who are not. I have an amazing dog park that is a couple of blocks away from my house where the dogs can run around off leash.
