For the love of all fur-babies!

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of experience with caring for fur babies. Growing up sitting and owning dogs all my life, I couldn't imagine any other way. The smallest dog I've cared for (other than puppies), was about 8lbs, and the largest was 220lbs. I also understand the difficulties that military life presents as I am a veteran, and have cared for several fur-babies while their owners have been underway, and/or deployed. When the weather is comfortable all day, I let them run around the yard, and take them out for multiple walks. While inside, they have free roam, and are welcome to hang out on the couch or bed. Given how everyone has different schedules, I do ask that drop-off and pick-up times be scheduled prior to booking. Drop off and pick up times are from 6a to 7p. I schedule appointments with 30 minute windows for your convenience. If you are going to be late, please communicate with me prior to your appointment window. I will do my best to accommodate you, but I may have to reschedule, or cancel. In the event you are unable to pick up your pup by 7p, I will charge an additional night of boarding.

We had our worst Rover experience here. Getting ready to leave town and showed up to find he had multiple dogs in addition to his own including two pit bulls. The fence he previously had in his backyard was no longer there. When we addressed the issue and picked up our dogs less than an hour after dropping them he twisted the story to make it appear that our dog was a problem. We had to scramble to find another sitter before leaving town for a week.

Alex C. was great as far as my dogs reactions picking them up. They sent a few pics and kept me updated. But better communication would help. When I arrived I waited almost 30 mins for them to come to the door. Also the bowls I left where not the bowls I got back and I received a "it's just a bowl" look when I said something.
