I have converted the downstairs and back yard of my condo into a dog daycare; fully dog-proofed. Your dog(s) will be with me - and only me - all day; this is what I do. I DO NOT OFFER RECURRING SERVICES THROUGH ROVER.

About Timothy C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My number one goal is safety; fun is secondary. I have seen countless fights happen for countless reasons. I believe prevention is more important than intervention. I will not use affection as a reward. My affection is free for dogs. I correct dogs. Do I correct the wrong dog or the wrong thing? All the time, and I eventually learn. If your dog is about to start a fight, or is not listening, I will absolutely put my hands on your dog. I also use a salon grade spray bottle as a squirt gun. I grab tails and scruffs. I do takedowns. I do the same thing with my dogs. You might not like me, but your dog will I promise. That being said, out of all the dog fights I’ve ever intervened in, not once did I ever feel the need to punch or attack a dog. I don’t allow collars in daycare because they pose a safety issue. The harshest chemical I use is windex for the glass. For the rest of the cleaning I use Odoban.

Information Timothy C. would like to know about your pet
I am willing to give any dog a chance (within my notes limits). This is why I require daycare before boarding. I don’t care what other places have to say about your dog, every place is different; I’m only interested in what you have to say. I will make my own decision based on their time in my care. I require rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines.
A typical day
The dogs mostly entertain each other I’m just there to clean, keep the peace, and hand out attention. I have bird feeders for dogs who like to watch birds and I have pools and play with the hose on warm days.

One human. Buncha dogs. No collars.
Pet care experience
I have worked for six different kennels around town, one animal shelter, and volunteered for a spay/neuter clinic. It’s more a question of “what kind of dog have I not experienced”? I specialize in working with groups of dogs; I thrive on movement. I have been in yards with over 100 dogs.
Reviews
Excellent care! Tum was very flexible in adjusting the request I placed wrong and the dogs stayed with him overnight. Came back tired and very happy! Tim shared plenty of videos and photos along the way, I had no doubts they were in the best hands ever. Thank you so much, Tim, hoping to see you again soon.
Luna had a wonderful time! Tim took her to the beach and did many outdoor activities with Luna.
Super friendly!! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find someone to take care of my dog Edward last second so Timothy was a lifesaver!! Edward didn’t want to get in the car after so I can tell he loved spending time with him, will definitely book him again in the future!!!
If your dog likes adventure, Tim’s your guy. If your dog likes to be chill and mellow like Jello-O, Tim’s your guy. If your dog can’t stop, won’t stop, Tim’s your guy. If your dog is judgy of humans (seriously, they can sniff the bad ones!), Tim’s your guy! My three puppers of varying preferences and personalities—including my separation-anxiety-suffering barky-bark—LOVE daycare with Tim! He’s all about the dogs… Yours, mine, ALL THE DOGS. At larger daycare/boarding facilities, my boys are super anxious when I leave them (exacerbating my own anxiety for leaving them), and then take a few days to bounce back after I get them home. With Tim, they’re eager to bound in for fun and good company, and come back home happy and tails-a-waggin’. I know they’re safe and with an experienced handler of multiple dogs. 10/10 recommend, two paws up!
