Pet care experience
We understand it can be overwhelming to choose someone to care for your furry friend. It's hard to leave your fur baby with people you don't know (yet)! You want to ensure your dog gets the best care. We know exactly how you feel! Rest assured we'll care for your precious pet while you're away like it's one of ours. Plus, we're reliable - you can expect timely responses, as well as updates & pics! We are a family of 3 (+ a fur baby) who are reliable and responsive. Our Lexi is an energetic and affectionate 4 year old pug. I work from home, so am home all the time. We live in a house with a spacious, fenced backyard. We live near the rail trail and typically go for walks twice a day. Our 10 year old daughter is very responsible and shares our love of animals. Having grown up with dogs all our lives, we have experience with puppies, seniors, medications, cleaning ears, brushing teeth, dogs in heat. We are very aware of dogs in our care - if something is bothering them, we'll find out the cause and a solution. Dogs must be up-to-date on shots, fully house/potty trained, able to sleep through the night, and spayed/neutered. Although not required, it is preferred if your pet takes tick/flea meds (if in season). We won't accept dogs that are aggressive towards people or other dogs. Dogs and their bedding must arrive clean. Extra charges apply if your pet has accidents that require thorough cleaning and/or damages our belongings.
Reviews
Jackie and Josh were fabulous with my Havenese dog when we went away on holidays for a week. My dog is pretty nervous in new situations so I was a bit worried but he settled in quickly. Jackie sent lots of reassuring photos and it was clear that he was being well taken care of and loved. I would feel totally confident leaving him with them again and strongly recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing overnight or day care for their dog. The fenced back yard also assured me that he would be safe and secure. Great experience and no concerns at all with them or their home.
Our 3 year old pug Blu spent the night with Jackie and Josh while we were away and he and their dog Lexi (another pug) had a great time together. Jackie and Josh treated Blu like he was one of their own! They have a beautiful fenced in yard for him to play in and also went on walks with them and their dog. They sent photos of our boy thru out the stay which was much appreciated! He was very happy. Jackie and Josh are loving, caring, wonderful people and I would most definitely recommend them to look after your fur baby...we will take Blu there again and again!!
Having known this family for many years, I have seen firsthand their affection for their dogs. They have gone above and beyond what anyone would expect when their animals have had a potential health or safety issue. They genuinely care for all animals, not just their own. I would not hesitate to recommend this family for pet care services.
