Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Dog Lover & Trainer
Professional canine trainer/ handler with 5+ years experience. Have trained different breeds from a Maltese to Doodles, Great Danes to German Shepards, protection and service dogs. My love for all dogs has grasped me years ago and brought me to the canine training industry. Hoping to meet some new dogs in town! I’m a full time dog trainer. I do private lessons and board & train programs at 2, 3, 4, and 6 weeks. Pet care is the name of my game, ensuring comfortable, clean environments for all dogs that I care for. I have crates in a bedroom meant specifically for dogs that board with me. I hold up to three dogs at one time, so dogs that board with me always have some playmates in our spacious backyard; I do soft introductions to other dogs to test compatibility. If I get the slightest idea that two dogs will not get along, I will not risk them playing together. I also take dogs to the park, with owners’ consent.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
As usual, Stuart took excellent care of Louie. He went above and beyond by accepting our last-minute booking when a friend was unable to take Louie for a few days.
Stuart did a great job with our lab. We felt super confident leaving her with him! Definitely will use his boarding services again!
Stuart was an amazing sitter for my dogs and he was beyond accommodating with my hectic schedule with dropping off and picking up and I am forever grateful for his service 1000% recommended
Thanks for another great stay for Finn.
Stuart is responsive and reliable. He helped my dog feel comfortable and confident around other dogs. I will be selecting Stuart again in the future!
Stuart accepted my request on short notice and handled both of my dogs with ease! He responded to my messages timely and also sent pics and videos while they were there. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits into my weekly routine as I am home for the majority of the day, 7 days a week (unless on vacation). Because of my presence at home, I am able to ensure dogs are let out, fed, and given water at appropriate times of the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard spanning 1/4 of an acre. The neighborhood is dog friendly, and family friendly and great for dog walks in the case that a dog owner allows their dog to be walked by the home. I have a routine bedtime of 10PM-5:30AM, which generally aligns with a dogs nightly schedule. My bedroom is steps away from the room in which dogs are boarding, so if there is any whining or sign of discomfort, I am able to quickly tend to the dogs (as long as I am not asleep in the middle of the night).
Pets
A typical day
I stimulate dogs mentally and physically playing games with bite pillows, fox tail toys, and scent work if the dog has that motivator. Dog parks, play time in our back yard, etc. All dogs will stay on leash unless in an enclosed gated area.
