Pet care experience

WE'RE MOVING & IMPROVING!

One boarding dog at a time. Your dog will be the only one boarding together with a dog that I'm training, if I have one. Meaning your dog will get the attention and care that you want for your dog. *** If you need to board two dogs please let me know and I can always make an exception, as long as they are both in the same household.

Ren is amazing! This was Brie’s second stay with him and she had a blast. I love getting the photo updates, and he always makes sure she gets her walks and plenty of playtime with other dogs. His entire family is part of the care team, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s never lonely. Onboarding both days was seamless. We will definitely be back!

The pups always come home smiling and happy. The videos we get while away they are having so much fun. Ren has been helpful with tips for Cassie. Looking forward to the next stay-both pups are always excited to go.

Excellent! Brie enjoyed her stay. She play with different dogs, that is something she loves to do. They shared videos and photos. Easy communication. I really recommend him.

We always book with Ren & fam when they're available - they're the best! We get tons of photos and videos of our girl having a wonderful time. They truly have a gift for caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages!

Schedule

I run my small business in Tacoma and I am available most of the time and very flexible. I will always make sure that I put in the necessary care for your pet/s and everything that your fur baby/babies would need while they are with me. I am willing to accommodate whatever house rules you have. From potty to feeding schedules, just let me know what you prefer.

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby/babies will be well-taken care of and will have plenty of time exploring Tacoma. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and can administer basic medications if needed. Your pet will never be alone for more than 3 hours on a daily basis as I do this full time. I love taking pets on multi-mile walks or runs whatever your dog prefers. When it comes to boarding I only take one dog at a time, except if I have a dog/puppy that I'm training. Other than that, your baby has full reign of my place and attention. * I will not take dogs to a park, hiking and other trips or around other dogs without prior approval from you, the owner. * Please be aware that I do 1-on-1 dog training as well and your dog might be sharing the space with another dog.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy running and going out for walks, especially hikes, weather permitting. I would love to take your dog with me... well unless your dog likes to just chill in the house, I'm all for that too.

Please let me know what kind of accommodations your pet would need in advance, such as feeding schedules, potty schedules, and any quirks your pet has. I understand that every pet is different which is why I'm willing to take the time to attend to your pet's specific needs while you're away.
