Pet care experience
Home Boarding by Dog Pros 🐶
We have over 11 years of experience working with dogs. Our goal is simple: keep your dog safe, healthy, clean, physically and mentally fulfilled, and comfortable while you're away. One thing that's important to us is keeping you updated too! We send LOTS of pictures and videos throughout the day because if we were boarding our own dog, that's exactly the kind of updates we'd want to receive. You can expect multiple updates each day (and also at night!), so you'll always know how your pup is doing. Over the years, we've learned a lot about dog behavior, nutrition, grooming, training, and overall dog care. We also own a Standard Poodle, Thumper, whose sensitive stomach and training journey have taught us the importance of routine, patience, structure, and consistency. We've cared for many dogs and understand that every pup is different. We don't expect every dog to behave the same or fit into one routine. Instead, we adjust based on their personality, energy level, comfort level, and individual needs. Since Thumper has chronic pancreatitis and a very sensitive stomach, we understand how important it is to stick closely to feeding schedules and routines - and to watch what goes into their tummy like a hawk!! So if your dog takes medications, vitamins, has a special diet, or follows a certain routine, just let us know. We're happy to accommodate! We're generally the best fit for friendly, social, house-trained dogs that are comfortable around people and other dogs, and enjoy a quiet home environment. For everyone's safety, we generally don't accept dogs with a history of aggression or excessive separation anxiety. We intentionally keep our boarding program small because we'd rather provide a better experience than board as many dogs as possible. Every dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and individual attention-we treat every dog like an individual, not just another boarding reservation :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
William provided the best boarding experience for my dog. He was very kind and accommodating and certainly made an effort to play with my dog and acclimate him to the new environment while I was out town. A part of me felt like he didn’t want to leave because of the fun he was having. Would come back again.

Schedule
Pet care is already a big part of our daily lifestyle! We have our own Standard Poodle, Thumper, and several returning daycare & boarding guests, so our days naturally revolve around dogs, especially during weekends and holidays! We work from home most of the time, so your pup won't be spending hours alone waiting for someone to come back. Instead, their day will be filled with regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of supervised fun both indoors and outdoors! To make sure every pup gets the attention they deserve, we intentionally keep our boarding program small. A maximum of four guest dogs (five including Thumper)! That means more 1-on-1 attention, more quality time, and more personalized care for everyone!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are supervised inside the house and whenever they're in the backyard. We introduce new doggo friends carefully and never force interactions. Every dog has a different personality, confidence level, and comfort zone, so we take the time to get to know them first. Our own dog, Thumper, went through professional training. One thing we quickly learned is that the training isn't just for the dog—the biggest lessons are actually for us as pet parents! It taught us a great deal about canine behavior, verbal and body language as communication, and handling techniques. That knowledge has helped us better understand each dog's individual needs and how to help them feel comfortable and confident in a new environment. Because Thumper also has chronic pancreatitis and a sensitive stomach, we've become very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding routines, nutrition, making sure nobody steals anyone else's food, and yes... inspecting poop! 😆 (We're proud poop inspectors!) If you'd like, we're even happy to send you poop updates so you can stay informed about your pup's tummy health. We also believe good communication builds trust. That's why we keep detailed documentation throughout your pup's stay, along with lots of photos and videos, so you'll always know how they're doing while you're away.

A typical day
Be sure to check out our photo gallery! You'll find lots of our boarding guests enjoying their stay doing all kinds of fun activities. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! A typical day? Sleep, eat, play... and repeat ×100! 🤣 Whether it's playing fetch, tug of war, chasing squeaky balls & plushes, sniffing around the backyard, lounging on the couch, sunbathing, zooming with doggo friends, learning a new trick, relaxing to a live piano concert, cod skin chew party session, or simply relaxing after a fun day, we try to make every stay active, enriching, and enjoyable. We also love exploring nearby parks, including Carlton Peterson Park, Sycamore Canyon Park, Pantera Park, Suzanne Park, Summitridge Park, and Snow Creek Park. Every outing is based on your dog's personality, energy level, weather, and group compatibility. As many of our pet parents have told us, "You guys took so many great pictures!" and "Thank you for the excellent care!" We absolutely love photographing our guests, so don't be surprised if you receive a whole album by the end of their stay!! 📸 We truly enjoy creating unforgettable memories for both you and your pup. We hope you'll be able to see the time, care, and attention we put into making every stay feel like a premium staycation!
