Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

About: From horses, chickens and goats to rabbits, dogs and every little critter in between. I've taken care of a wide variety of animals both personally and professionally within my life time. My schedule and I are extremely flexible as long as you are willing to work with me. Majority of my free time is spent outdoors so including a 4 legged friend to the adventure is no problem. I like to stick to the schedule the clients have for their fur kids whether that be daily walks, park visits, fetch, crate training, etc. Showers of gooey love and scratches to make sure they're adorable meter is optimal is of course a given.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to leave my dogs for the day. Neither of them had been to “daycare” before and it made all the difference to have such a well maintained, open space to explore and relax in. They were immediately excited to explore and didn’t even notice that I left. Dawn is so clearly calm and competent, I didn’t worry at all while I was gone. One of my dogs wanted to be in the house and spent a lot of time sleeping on her bed, and Dawn was kind enough to let her hang out there. The best sign they were happy and comfortable: one dog has separation anxiety, and when I came to pick them up, she was excited to greet me, but then immediately turned around and went back into the yard, explored more, then asked to be let into the house. I don’t live in the area but will definitely book again if I’m back.

Berenice was fantastic. Everytime we picked Obi up he was happy, clean and wagging his tail. She kept us up to date and did many fun things to keep Obi active. Definitely will use her again if we come to visit in the future.

The JingChun couple are really very considerate. They often share photos and videos of the baby with me, and give him biscuits and beef liver. The baby is a very shy and timid dog, but at their home, I saw him happily running on the grass. Moreover, the baby's toilet habits are not good; he often poops on the mat, but they are still very patient. They take her to the toilet within 1-2 hours. Thank you for your patience with the baby, I highly recommend their home! You will definitely not be disappointed.
