Safety, trust & environment

I have two lab mix puppies of my own who love to play. The house has been puppy proofed for almost two years now and will stay that way to keep your dog safe. I have three indoor play areas that can easily be sectioned off if needed. I also have two large outdoor fenced in play areas as well. I always feed the dogs separately to avoid any issues. If your dog is not social they can have their own personal space. If your dog likes to play my boys would be happy to play with them. There is plenty of shade, sun, water, and things to smell. Your dog will be well cared for, safe, and have a great time.

Information paul d. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies. Please let me know if your dog is social with other dogs. Do they prefer to play with bigger dogs or smaller dogs. Do they have any food aggression? Do they guard things such as toys or people. Please let me know if your dog has any medical issues such as seizures or hip problems. Is your dog on any medications? I can not take any aggressive dogs so please be upfront if that is a concern.

A typical day

When your dog is staying with me they will have plenty of exercise, fun, and rest. We start out in the morning about 6 am by going outside for some exercise and a potty break. We come in the house for breakfast. After that the day is spent socializing with other dogs inside and outside. If your dog is not a big player with other dogs I provide one on one time for them to play. They have a snack in the afternoon and puppies get lunch. They have dinner about 6:00 and water is provided at all times inside and outside. Some dogs have a lot of energy while others are more calm. I meet your dog where they are at to ensure they have the best time possible.

Large fenced in yard

Pet care experience

I have over 2,000 square feet of fenced in outdoor space. I also have 2,000 square feet of indoor space which can be divided up into three separate play areas. I can provide plenty of exercise, fun activities, and rest for your dog so you can have some peace of mind while you are away. I started working at a local daycare two years ago. Working with and getting to know the different breeds has been very educating. I have worked with small Yorkies to giant Saint Bernards. Now that I have over two years of experience professionally working with and boarding dogs I feel that I have the knowledge to provide your dog with the best care possible. I can meet any needs and have no problem boarding older dogs. Thank you for taking the time to read through this. Hope to hear from you soon.

Our second time leaving Kiwi with Paul. As before, it went extremely well. He always comes back healthy and energized, thanks (I assume) to all the social time and space to run. Huge thanks :)

Paul is great, we always know our dogs are safe and happy when they stay at his house. They love running around in the backyard and spending time outside!

Super daycare! We were visiting the area, and needed a place the dogs could stay during the day. Very thankful for Paul’s care.
