Hey everyone! My family loves to have extra pets visit. We are a big family with plenty of love to spread around. I have kid aged 3-12 so we're often a busy house, but there is always someone home so we are happy to share our space. Might I address the elephant in the room? I recently received one of the only negative reviews in the area. If you have any questions about that, please feel free to ask. I want every stay to be a pleasant one. That particular client left the review when she discovered three weeks after her stay that her dog had fleas. As the review was written three weeks later, I can't possibly know if they were from my back yard, from the dog that stayed with us the same weekend her pup did, or from somewhere else entirely. It could have been any time between her stay and the three weeks before she left that review. I get it though, my life can be messy with kids and dogs and I would honestly probably blame myself in her shoes as well. If you would like, I can provide references from several clients who have been leaving their pups with me many times over more than a year. Please consider us for taking care of your pups, we all love dogs. I walked dogs for wag when I first moved to the area back in 2015. I adopted my dog Stella around that same time when she was six weeks old, she's now eight years old and happy. Our house is non-smoking, has younger kids, older kids, a dog (obviously) and cats. We have a completely fenced-in yard in the back that your pup can play in as much or as little as they want. I included a picture of my whole family. My cousin lives with us as a bonus parent/live in nanny/awesome auntie. She and I are very similar in how we care for pets and kids, so you're in good hands no matter what. I work in Matthews 3 days per week and from home in concord 2 days per week. Your drop off or pick up might be with either me, my husband James, or my cousin Meghan. Also, if you're farther away I may be open to meeting somewhere to pick up your pup or having you drop them off at the end of my work day in Matthews. Sorry this is a long bio but I want you to be as comfortable as possible. Boarding your pet is so stressful and I don't want to increase that stress.
