Pet care experience

**Drop-off & Pick-up Hours: 8AM to 8PM **Must be crate-trained **Fully vaccinated dogs only (Rabies, Distemper (DAPP/DHPP), and bordetella) Hi there! Looking for a warm, welcoming home in a safe neighborhood—with a spacious backyard where your pup can run, play, and be cared for with the utmost love and attention? You’ve found the perfect spot! I’m a lifelong animal lover with well over a decade of experience caring for dogs, and it truly brings me joy to spend my days with furry friends. I currently share my home with the sweetest mini Australian Shepherd, who’s been my sidekick since he was just 6 weeks old. We recently celebrated his 5th birthday, and he’s always excited to welcome new pals to share his toys, enjoy some tasty organic treats, and play the day away. Your pup will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own—because I know how important it is to feel at ease when your dog is with someone else. I’m also happy to respect and maintain any rules or routines you have in place at home.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Richard took amazing care of our Bernedoodle, Mazie, and Shih Tzu, Oden. He sent beautiful pictures and updates every day. He gave the personal attention that big boarding companies just can't. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely use him again!
