About: I grew up with pets and have had my own dogs that I fully trained and cared for since I was 14 years old. Across the past 20 years, I’ve had 4 dogs ranging from golden labs to German shepherds to Golden Doodles. I am skilled in caring for dogs from puppy to senior age. Play in my fenced in back yard, long walks to the lake, and pup cups from Stone Creek Coffee are a few things your pet can expect if staying with me. I send frequent updates and pictures. I provide loving, reliable, tailored care for your pets. Hello! My name is Luke and I provide experienced, dependable, and tailored pet care. I am a university professor, so am completely free Monday-Sunday throughout the summer. I frequently go on at least 2 long walks during the day. I also have a fenced in yard for addition play and outside time. Because my schedule is so flexible, your pet will receive all my time and attention!! I have a fenced in back yard. I also have a 5 year old goldendoodle in the house who will quickly become your pets BEST friend. She is sweet, trained, well behaved, and so loving with other animals. Your pet will be in the house with me, allowed to roam, go on furniture, and enter the yard via a dog door at their leisure. If your dog is crate trained, please bring a crate with you for the visit. I am experienced with crate training so can easily manage it.

More than anything I will be sure to give your pup some company and keep them happy while you’re away!
