Pet care experience

Love dogs & the outdoors

I have a small chihuahua now and have grown up with energetic medium/big dogs all my life, including many Weimaraners. I have taken care of lots of dogs in the past, including puppies, senior dogs, less energetic breeds (e.g., greyhounds), and high-energy work dogs (e.g., pitbulls). All are welcome. I love dogs and spend lots of time outside with them.

10/10 he took Evie in on a few days prior, that right there is enough for me, he sent beautiful pictures of my Evie. Not only that but Ekow is able to take care of hyper active dogs, who need to do alot, and sometimes have trouble listening. That is what you call a sitter, will definitely book with him again!!

Took excellent care of Sadie, long walks with breaks for professional photoshoots, new friends for her to hang out with, plenty of space to roam inside the fenced-in backyard, she'll be staying with him again!

We have used Ekow multiple times and our dog is always so excited to see him. We feel very comfortable every time we need to travel. Thank you Ekow!

This was my first time doing boarding for Coltrane. Looks like she has a great time playing in the yard and on walks. Also grateful to have a sleepy pup when we got home because she got all her energy out. Coltrane is a new rescue learning the ropes and he handled her well!

Nothing went as planned with this reservation and he was so helpful throughout the whole thing. I felt at ease to communicate and ask for what would be helpful. Even if we couldn’t make it work, he seems willing to work on solutions if you need it. Took great care of my baby. Cannot recommend enough!
