One of the most rewarding parts of my week is caring for your pet.
In-home dog boarding, doggy day care, house sitting, drop-in visits and cat care in Lathrop, CA.
I've loved animals my whole life, and opening my home to care for them has become one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I believe pet care should be built on trust, comfort, consistency and clear communication.

How your pet stays here
Home setup
A calm, structured home environment with supervised care, regular potty breaks, photo updates, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Safety and structure
I introduce dogs slowly, monitor their behavior closely, and separate dogs when needed. Feeding is done separately to help prevent food guarding, upset stomachs, or accidental sharing.
Best fit
For boarding in my home, I'm best suited for small to medium dogs and select larger dogs only when the fit is right. For larger dogs I'm also happy to provide house sitting, drop-ins, or care in your home.
Sleeping arrangements
My home is kept comfortable year round so every pet can relax. Dogs can sleep in their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area based on their routine and habits.
Communication and updates
I send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and having a great time.
Drop-off and pickup
My preferred windows are 8:00-10:00 AM or 8:00-10:00 PM. I'm happy to coordinate within those windows so each pet has a smooth, calm transition.

About me and the pugs
I'm Tyler, and I care for pets full time out of my home in Lathrop. I hold an enhanced background check, have 15 years of experience with dogs and cats, including small, medium and select large dogs, and can administer medication. Senior pets and pets with special needs are always welcome.
I intentionally keep my calendar limited to a small number of stays each month, so every dog and every owner gets real one-on-one attention, not a rotating door of guests.
My three friendly pugs are the welcome committee. They show every guest around the fenced yard, supervise dinner, and anchor the nap pile.
Cats get their own quiet space away from the dogs, slow introductions on their terms, and 15 years of cat experience. Photo updates come standard here too.

How do I book, and how does payment work?
Send a request through the site with your dates and a photo of your pet. We'll set up a meet and greet, and I'll confirm the details and payment with you directly.

Yes. I can administer medication, and senior dogs and pets with special needs are welcome.

In their crate, on their own bed, or in a designated sleeping area, based on their routine and habits.
