Pet care experience

Dogs of all needs, ages, and sizes

I enjoy taking care of dogs and I have a great deal of experience. I have been fostering dogs with special needs for about ten years. I have experience with small dogs, giant breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs who require special medical care. I own a business that allows me to work from home, and so I get to spend a lot of time playing, training, and hanging out with my pack. I have two senior rescue dogs. I enjoy taking walks, practicing obedience training, and hanging out on the couch watching movies with our dogs. About me: My background is in education, and I recently completed my masters in accounting. In my free time I do remodeling and home improvement projects, rock climbing, cycling, gaming, and my wife and I visit my niece and nephew in Minnesota. I am also involved in an organization that runs a home for children in Croix des Bouquet, Haiti. I am also an aspiring author and I love to read about history. I run my business from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs I host. I am able to offer frequent walks and I have a securely fenced back yard so we can spend time outdoors playing. I built home made agility equipment for fun for my dogs. I also like to do dog sports and obedience training. My yard is completely fenced with a 6 foot wooden fence. My ranch style home is set up for dogs and has no stairs, so My senior dogs are comfortable. When I host a dog, I am always home. The dogs I care for are supervised at all times inside and in the back yard.

Bill and his family took wonderful care of our two dogs. Our pups absolutely loved them — they looked happy, playful, and relaxed throughout their stay. Communication with Bill was smooth and pleasant. He sent us daily updates and photos, which made us feel reassured and connected while we were away.

We feel like we hit the jackpot finding Bill and Laina! What a positive experience! Bill and Laina watched our two labradors. We received many updates and pictures to let us know they were doing okay. Our dogs came home so happy and exhausted from all of the attention! We will definitely be using them again! Thank you for treating our babies as if they were your own. :)

Bill was an EXCELLENT sitter!! I was very nervous about leaving our dog Peanut "alone" and away from home for almost a week but that was absolutely unnecessary. Bill sent me updates with photos almost everyday and I could tell Peanut had no problem being away from home - all thanks to the care Bill was providing. I might have gotten a little jealous about how well Peanut was doing with Bill actually ? Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely book again! Thank you for much Bill and Laina!

I need to have updated vet information and contact numbers. It's also important that I understand your dogs feeding schedule and any special needs they might have.
