Pet care experience
I provide a safer and more relaxing experience for your pets — as well as a more worry-free time for you — than you'll find with many sitters and kennels who intermingle pets from different families. That practice unavoidably creates unpredictability and risk, which I eliminate by giving your pets their own private room. And since I only take a maximum of 3 clients at a time, I'm able to offer a level of loving attention and individualized care that isn't possible at large operations. I'm the guy you see at parties, in the corner talking to the dog or cat. I'm mature, responsible, and nice and I've had pets all my life. In fact, it's because of the many times I've faced the tricky and nerve-wracking challenge of finding great accommodations for all my own animals that I decided to offer this service to other pet lovers. I've worked as a boarder at 2 vet clinics. I've also got tons of experience caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, as well as countless strays and fosters. When your little ones are with me, you can truly and comfortably enjoy your time away, knowing my mission is to keep them very safe and happy.
Reviews
Owen is great and I felt very comfortable leaving my three dogs with him. His setup is amazing and the dogs came home happy and healthy!
Owen was great with my Daisy. He was very flexible and was able to take her in on short notice for a significant amount of time. I could tell he has a lot of experience with dogs and set me at ease with all the photos of Daisy he sent. I would highly recommend Owen to anyone looking to board their dog.
Owen is a godsend!!! He was very attentive to my elderly dogs’ needs. They had their own quiet room. My dogs picked up Owen’s calm energy. They were zen the whole afternoon after I picked them up.
Owen provided exceptional care for my dogs, showcasing his expertise and passion throughout their stay. His friendly demeanor immediately put them at ease, and his property, a canine paradise, offered ample space for them to explore safely. Owen's attention to detail, from dietary needs to regular updates, was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Owen for his top-notch service and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Owen, for an outstanding experience!

Safety, trust & environment
🏡🌳 A PARK-LIKE PROPERTY (see photos 🌺) We have a massive yard, with a large pond, a sidewalk all around it, and even an island accessed by a small bridge. All of this is inside our fence, and this is where I'll be walking your dog(s), which, of course, is safer and more secure than walking them out on the streets. I also built a secure 100ft trolley cable with locking carabiners, which is available to dogs for extended (supervised) outside time, if you request it. 🐶🐱 A PRIVATE SPACE JUST FOR YOUR PETS Your pets will never have to mix with unknown and unfamiliar animals, so you'll never have to worry over a risk of stressful interactions or dangerous altercations with strange dogs or cats. We carefully maintain 4 separate zones... • Critter Den 1 — A single family of dogs (and cats) gets this big, fun room to themselves. It's half of our basement, which I've converted into a pet haven. There's a comfy loveseat, a beanbag chair, dog beds, a dog house, kitty houses, rugs, blankets, and toys. • Critter Den 2 — This private room is the other half of our converted basement, and will be dedicated to a single family of dogs. It's got a comfy chair and ottoman, a beanbag chair, dog beds, rugs, blankets, and toys. • The Littles Lounge — One family of kitties and/or small dogs (or a big dog of a certain disposition) can enjoy our guest room, which we've turned into a fun retreat, with a couch, pet beds, a huge cat tree, watching windows, toys, and a litter box. • Main House — Our own pets live in a different section of the house and will always be kept completely separate from yours. So, from your pets' perspective, it'll be as if they're the only animals here! 🔐 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Each guest is equipped with a special QR Code tag, just in case. If scanned on any smart phone, your pet's details and my contact info will be displayed, and I'll get an alert with their GPS location. 🐰🐷🐭🦊 A HARDCORE ANIMAL LOVER 🐴🐮🐥🐟 I'm vegan, which I mention only because it's an indication that my life is largely focused on keeping all animals safe and happy, and this same philosophy will drive the way I treat yours. ❗️ EMERGENCY PLAN If a medical emergency arises, I'll take your pet(s) to The Village Vets 24-Hour Emergency, which is only 5.7 miles away, and keep you well informed.

Information Owen E. would like to know about your pet
• Your pet's favorite things/activities? • Vet details? • Emergency contact(s)? • Any medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities? • Any meds? If so, what are doses and timing? • Feeding schedule and portions? • Any special needs or things to look out for? • Any aggression issues? (With dogs, cats, people, etc?) • If I'm hosting more than one of your pets, any concern about them fighting with each other? • Any sensitive body parts or trigger spots? • Any specific potty needs? • Up to date on rabies vaccine? • Does your pet exhibit any separation anxiety? For example: is he/she likely to cry or bark at times when I'm not in the room with him/her, like overnight? • How does your pet do on car rides? • Should your pet(s) be crated at any time? • Do they have up-to-date ID tags? Microchips? • Do they have a treat routine? • Any important commands or corrections I should know?
A typical day
⚽️❤️ FREQUENT INTERACTION — I'll walk with your dog(s) around the yard and pond several times a day (plus more quick potty breaks, if needed), spend additional hang-out time with them for company and playtime, and check on them frequently. Same for kitties, of course, except for the walks. And all animals will get tons of real love and affection.

🥰 A DEDICATED CARETAKER I don't go away to an office job, so I'm almost always home and free to build my schedule around serving my pet-guests, who are treated as if they were my own. 💬 GREAT COMMUNICATION You'll get photos, videos, and updates! (Unless you prefer not to.) And you can always feel welcome to check in. I want you to have peace of mind while you're away from your critters.
