Pet care experience

Single Dog Boarding 🐕

Personalized Dog Boarding & One-on-One Care I've raised and cared for animals my entire life — from two wonderful Staffordshire Bull Terriers to cats and even a Scarlet Macaw. That experience has taught me that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention. That’s why I offer truly personalized care: I board only one dog at a time (unless they are from the same household), ensuring your pup receives my full focus with no off-leash exposure and no interactions with unfamiliar dogs. What Your Dog Can Expect 3–4 walks per day, tailored to your dog’s energy level 24/7 supervision for complete peace of mind Local walks or valley hikes upon request A calm, safe, and comfortable home environment Before Booking I start with a quick conversation to learn about your dog’s temperament, needs, and daily routine. If everything feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a meet & greet so your pup can get familiar with me and the space. Rates Pricing is based on your dog’s individual needs. For repeat clients, we typically settle into a comfortable, mutually agreed-upon rate.

Steve was amazing with Cooper! Several walks a day, water adventures, car rides and PupCups We didn’t worry about the dog at all so really enjoyed our vacation. Lots of pictures told the story of the daily adventures. 100% recommendation!

Steven was great with my two girls. He kept them busy with lots of walks and provided regular updates, which was really nice. You can tell he genuinely cares a lot about the dogs he watches.

We had never left our 3 year old dog with anyone but another friend before, so we were nervous about how an in home boarding would go with someone new. But Steven probably took better care of our pup than we do! Multiple walks per day, undivided attention, frequent updates, a pup cup, hikes… it’s any wonder she actually wanted to come home! We already have him booked for our next trip out of town!

Schedule

Dedicated Full-Time Dog Care When your dog stays with me, they’re never just left alone. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, and I provide around-the-clock supervision. Other than a brief trip for essentials, your pup has my full attention day and night. Because every dog has different needs, rates may vary. Some pups require more time, energy, or structure, and in those cases the rate is adjusted to reflect the additional supervision or management needed to keep them safe and comfortable. This ensures every dog receives the right level of care — and gives you the confidence that your furry friend is being looked after as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Safe & Secure Environment My home has a fully fenced backyard, built and maintained with safety in mind. After raising two strong alpha dogs here for 17 years, I made sure the fencing is secure and reliable. Dogs always get supervised time outside — I never just leave them unattended in the yard.

A typical day

Adventure & Daily Walks I live near Chatfield, so hikes and car rides are always on the game plan for dogs who enjoy adventure. The area is also great for park walks and local strolls, giving me plenty of options to match your dog’s energy level. Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood walk or a longer outing, I build a specialized care plan around your dog’s needs and your requests.
