Dog Boarding in Temple

“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”

“Dianne was great! I have an anxious pup but she made sure she felt safe and got plenty of love and affection. She also sent lots of pics so I knew my girl was well taken care of!”

“Gwen and Kurt are absolutely amazing!! They kept my 3 month old puppy when I had to go out of town. From the moment we arrived, I knew that they would care for him like he was their own, and that’s exactly what they did! They provided regular updates with pictures, and kept him on the feeding/walking schedule that he was used to. I would absolutely request another stay for my puppy, as they were so loving and sweet to my boy and he loved them back!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals (domestic and farm) my whole life, but I enjoy dogs the most! My own pup, an 8 yr old Golden Doodle, is a friend to everyone. She is well-trained and gets along with other animals very well. I have experience giving meds, bathing, crate training, leash training and basic grooming. I occasionally cook for my pup with our dog-safe kitchen scraps and get a kick out of her excitement for her special “meal toppers”. We are a homeschool family and enjoy teaching our older kids how to care for our own animals. We are home every day of the week. I have experience doing in-house boarding and drop-in visits for dogs and I have experience doing drop-in visits for cats. Dogs are welcome inside the home so long as they are potty trained. We have a garage space that has been set up to accommodate our golden doodle and she is happy to share the space with a friend. We do have a medium/large sized kennel on site if needed as well as a a play pen. Crate trained pups are preferred but not necessary. Our yard is not fenced and we do have chickens and other poultry on the property. We have about 1.5 acres with access to a pond. Our dog runs free but visitors will be walked on a leash (or a dog run, if acceptable) to keep everyone safe. I offer boarding in a calm, structured home environment. My setup works best for dogs who are fully house-trained, comfortable settling indoors, and able to follow a predictable home routine. I prioritize a low-stress stay for both pets and people.
