We treat your dog like royalty

Pet care experience

My wife any I have one 18 lb doodle mix that is with us for about 9 months out of the year. Currently she is in MI with her grandparents. We recently moved back to Swansea where I grew up. I transitioned back to teaching tennis and have most morning and early afternoons available before teaching and love helping pups get extra walk and play time while parents are at work. My wife works from home and is available to potty breaks all day long, even when I am at work. We will take your dogs on walks, play fetch, tug of war, you name it! I often think I enjoy playing fetch with dogs more than they do. I have always had patience with animals and enjoy teaching them proper manners and fun tricks. We have a large fenced in back yard for play time! We also have an in-ground pool if you puppy likes to swim! Don't worry, we never let our dog or clients dogs out without being outside with them due to having a pool.

Blake and his wife will love your pet like their own! My dog, Mariota, has stayed with them several times and LOVES staying with them. They are the ONLY ones I trust to watch Mariota when we are away. They provide updates with photos throughout the stay. Easy to communicate with and readily available. They truly have become Mariota's other parents!!!🐶❤️

Blake was AMAZING! My dog sitter last minute cancelled on me and within a few minutes Blake responded and was able to watch my dog for a couple of days. He took excellent care of him by taking him in long walks, playing with him, and taking care of him throughout the day. Next time I go out of town Blake will definitely be my first call.

Blake has taken care of my dog, Hyde, countless times in the past 10 years and he loves my dog like he would his own. He loves playing with Hyde and he always makes sure that he is well taken care of.
