Pet care experience

Spoiled dog walking and boarding

I am an older man who lives with my wife in a townhouse in East Memphis. I am available for dog walking and dog boarding in my home. Though I do not have any pets myself, I enjoy taking care of my daughter's bichon frise and love dogs! They are people in our family! I enjoy taking dogs to pet friendly stores and restaurants and on walks at the river and Shelby Farms.

My Otis has separation anxiety (so I thought) so I had planned to take him over to Dennis's house 2 days in a row before leaving on the third day. The two days were not necessary because the first day immediately eased my heart and mind. Otis was immediately comfortable in their home! I walked away to for 10 minutes to see if he'd cry for me like he usually does, not a peep came out of him ❤️ Through out the trip Dennis and Sue consistently sent me pictures and in every single one he was getting showered with attention, was super comfortable and seemed so content. If I could give 10 stars I would! This will be the only sitter I choose from here on out. Thank you Sue and Dennis for taking care of my baby and for giving me peace of mind on my vacation. 🫶🏾❤️

He and his family are very sweet to the pups and take them on field trips

We felt our pup was safe and cared for while staying with Dennis. He was kind and very communicative. He allowed us to come for a visit before Milton's stay and also sent us updates and pictures during the stay. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that we wished that we would have known that they would be watching other dogs during our time. It was not an issue, and overall we were very happy.

Dennis always treats my buddy Newton as one of the family. I think Newton gets to go more places with him than with me!

I had to do a last-minute booking, as our plans for Moses changed. Dennis was great with him, very patient and kind. This was my first time using Rover, but we'll be using it again!

Dogs are watched pretty much like they are my children. I have a fenced in patio. I can follow care instructions specific to each dog.

A typical day

We can go to the dog parks at Toby Smalls, Overton Park or Mud Island. We can walk at Mud Island, Big River Crossing, and Shelby Farms. I love taking dogs to dog friendly stores and restaurants such as Bass Pro, Lowe's, Central BBQ, Highpoint Pizza, and to get ice cream.
