Ratings and reviews
I can't say enough great things about Tristan! He's been taking care of my dog 16 days out of the month since March, and I trust my boy Franco with him. Every time I picked him up, he is happy, well cared for, and is very excited to go back. He starts getting excited as I get closer to dropping him off. Tristan makes sure Franco is physically and mentally stimulated. He's tired at the end of the day. Tristan was able to accommodate me with boarding Franco last minute, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving place for their dog. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Franco!
Tristan was absolutely fantastic with our yellow lab puppy, Bambi! We were so impressed with the level of care and attention he provided. It was such a comfort to receive regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, which let us see exactly how much fun she was having. Tristan clearly went above and beyond, making sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime. We also really appreciated the helpful general care and training tips he shared with us afterward; it’s obvious he truly understands dogs and is passionate about what he does. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our girl, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again!
My puppy Cooper has visited Tristan a couple times and we will be continuing weekly doggy day care once a week. I love knowing he is having a good day full of walks and attention, helping Cooper develop skills in his puppyhood. Tristan sends a lot of good photos showing Cooper having fun!
Juneau enjoyed his short stay for daycare. Very well organized, good communication and lots of pictures! Thank you!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time profession. I work with dogs daily, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured routines, and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is built around the dogs in my care, so boarding and daycare clients receive reliable attention, exercise, and calm structure every day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, structured, and safety-focused environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. My home includes a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and clearly defined indoor spaces. Dogs may socialize with my well-balanced dogs if appropriate, or remain separated with their own space and crate if that is a better fit. I prioritize clear routines, calm handling, cleanliness, and close supervision to ensure every dog feels secure, respected, and well cared for. Crate & Separation Policy All dogs must be comfortable with either crating or calmly resting in a designated private space when needed. Crates and rest periods are used for safety, decompression, and routine—not punishment. This helps dogs settle, prevents overstimulation, and keeps everyone safe. 📸 Social Media Clause I love capturing photos and videos of the dogs during their stay or training—it’s a great way to share updates with you and show off their progress! From time to time, I may also use this content on social media or for educational purposes. By booking with me, you’re giving permission for your dog to be included in this kind of content. 🕙 Extended Time Fee Clause If a stay goes beyond 8 hours from the scheduled drop-off time, a small extended care fee of $13 will be added.

A typical day
Dogs in my care follow a calm, structured daily routine that includes scheduled potty breaks, supervised outdoor time in a fenced yard, structured walks, rest periods, and appropriate mental enrichment. Activities are tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, with a focus on balance rather than overstimulation.
