Safety, trust & environment

Your pup’s safety is my priority for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks! With years of pet care and formal dog training experience, I ensure a structured schedule and safe environment to all of our pups! Constant supervision during walks, visits, and play, creates a joyful and safe experience. We make sure to compile your pups information and notes ranging from feeding schedules, to potty breaks, to medications, to behavioral quirks, and more to ensure we provide the best possible care. We maintain a 6' tall privacy fence around a large, monthly pest-treated yard, ensuring safe large outdoor space for play and potty for social or solo pups. We provide dog beds and dog couches for boarded and doggy day care for comfort. We also have crates for overnight stays so your pet can feel safe and secure. A pet water fountain that runs through a filter provide fresh, clean water at all times. We require up-to-date vaccinations for boarding and daycare to protect current and future pets to prevent spread of deadly dog diseases.

A typical day

Mornings start with a refreshing walk and play. Midday brings playtime in our large, fenced yard—think fetch, tug of war, or romping with my three friendly, socialized dogs. For mental stimulation, I offer dog puzzles and basic obedience practice (sit, down, place), keeping your pup engaged. Afternoons include rest, walk or more play, while boarding dogs enjoy cozy crate time with toys at night. My family is also always helping ensuring constant attention and structure. Whether for boarding, walking, or day care, your dog will thrive with activity, love, and enrichment!

❤️ Loving Pup Care & Training 🦮

Pet care experience

I’m Tony, bringing ❤️ to every pup’s stay! With over 30 years of pet care experience and formal dog training, I create fun, structured and happy stays. My Pomsky, Shadow, will keep your pup company. He is a welcoming buddy—off-leash trained with road boundaries, he stays calm around cars, kids, and dogs making him a good role model. I keep pups active with long walks, tug, and fetch with a touch of obedience and positive reinforcement training. I create individualized schedules for each pup as necessary, covering potty breaks, meals, medication, and playtime for tailored care. Whether trained or not, I reinforce good behaviors and prevent unwanted ones, ensuring your pup comes home happy and even better behaved. My home’s a pup haven: a big fenced yard, cozy beds, friendly cats, and social dogs create a warm, family vibe. I send daily photos and videos to keep you connected. From bouncy puppies to lively adults, your dog will thrive with loving care and a training boost. Book now for a tail-wagging, fun-filled stay! 🦮

We give Tony ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and highly recommend him for all of your pets needs. Thank you for taking such great care of our pack of 4. Your commitment, knowledge, and genuine love for animals was noticed from the very beginning during our meet and greet. Thank you for ensuring that they were safe, comfortable, socializing, and getting plenty of play time with others which we know they enjoyed as it was captured in the photos. Tony is excellent with timely communication and we look forward to booking with him again!

We had a fantastic experience with Tony as our dog sitter! He was incredibly professional and structured from the start. We really appreciated that he wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to verify vaccination records. This attention to detail gave us peace of mind. Tony was also very accommodating with schedule changes, which made the whole process much easier. Throughout my dog's stay, he provided just the right amount of updates and pictures, allowing us to see how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! ​ Feel free to adjust any part of it to better reflect your experience!

Tony was the perfect sitter for my dog. She’s an older dog that needs daily medication and can be prone to anxiety, but Tony’s experience and knowledge of dog behavior made it a stress-free stay. He communicates often and sends lots of pictures. I will use Tony again any time I have to be out of town.
