❤️ 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! 🦮

Tony and family are the best I am adopting. My service animal had no problem staying with no complaints at all. I could tell my dogs felt at home and welcome, and their faces said it all. He told me he would work with my dogs on training and unwanted behaviors, and you can tell he did. Tony and family are the best. My service animal had no problem staying with no complaints at all.

This was Mell’s first stay with Tony. I’m very grateful for all the feedback he provided for both Mell and I as we are working through some behaviors. I felt very comfortable and confident boarding Mell based on previous encounters. Mell came back very happy and tired - always a good sign!

Fantastic experience! We were so impressed from the get-go. Meeting in person and exchanging information. He is such a professional and truly cares for dogs. It was a last minute booking and he really made us feel comfortable leaving our Billy with him. We are ended up needed him to board our dog longer due to inclement weather and flights being delayed. He was very receptive and we appreciated this so much! A million stars and the highest recommendation. We will be back!

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!
