Information Ed S. would like to know about your pet

Are there any medical issues and need for medication to be administered. How do they get along with other dogs? What sort of play do they like to engage in? Where do they like to sleep?

A typical day

Twice a day I drive my dog Cindys to leash free areas where there are other dogs that she can play and socialize with. Every breed of dog is unique and has their own idea of play and the type of activities they like to engage in. I tailor our activities around the needs and preference of your dog. It may simply be walking, playing fetch, tug of war or simply talking to and petting.

Caring and Understanding

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life and I believe that dogs need to be allowed to be dogs and that they are to be treated as family members. Your furry friend will be treated as a family member and receive the attention they need including being talked to, played, petted with and belly rubs if desired. Your furry friend will be taken out twice a day for a one hour leash free walk where he/she will be allowed to run, explore, socialize with other dogs and people and read and write p-mail. They will be provided with luxury accommodations which includes large windows to look out of and view Live Squirrel TV, a large fenced backyard backing onto woods and their own room. Age is no issue. I have experience with puppies thru to senior dogs. The administration of medication is not a problem. I can pick up and deliver your furry friend home. I have had dogs all my life and think they are wonderful creatures and they serve a very important role in peoples' lives. I look forward to having your furry friend(s) stay with us. Ed

Ed took care of my Labrador, Crypto, for two days on very short notice, and I really appreciated his help. He took Crypto on a wonderful 3.5-hour hike on the first day and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. Throughout the stay, Ed kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. Ed is a genuinely kind and caring person who clearly loves dogs and understands them well. It was easy to see that Crypto was treated with patience, affection, and care. I’m grateful that Ed was able to help us at the last minute, and I appreciate everything he did for Crypto. Thank you, Ed!

Ed has done it again, absolutely fabulous with my dog, as always! He kept the updates and pictures coming throughout, which I always look forward to. There's nothing better than seeing your pup happy and thriving while you're away. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog in Ed's care. He's consistent, attentive, and it's clear my dog adores him. A happy pup says it all!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Ed! I never once had to worry while I was away. Ed kept me updated with messages and photos throughout, which gave me such peace of mind. My pupper felt completely at home and happy. Arya came back home super tired, relaxed. She had the best day. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. I am so grateful and will absolutely be booking again. Thanks Ed
