Pet care experience

Loving pet owner and animal lover

Hi I'm James and my wife is Aimee. We have always had animals growing up, cats, dogs, horses, chickens and goats. We can offer a great place for your pets to stay and play. I have a big fenced in yard, 4 feet chain link. We also have a 6 foot fenced in area for bigger dogs to have fun and play. I can provide great pet care at a fair price.Very comfortable with all size pets from birds to cows and horse's and everything in between. Don't mind long walks and lot of play time in the yard. Me and my wife own a local dog grooming shop so I have lots of experience with different dogs and their behaviors, and we are very "dog smart" people. I do require dogs to be up to date on flea medicine and up to date on their yearly trips to the vet.

James did a great job with Bailey while I was out of town. She had a big fenced in yard and other dogs to play with and I can tell when I picked her up that she had a great time. I will definitely use him again.

James was very flexible with drop off and pickup times, and communication was very good. My dogs really enjoyed their stay. It gave them the opportunity to be around his kids and dogs ….. that kind of exposure for them was good. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs there will contact them again when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard and a whole bedroom for your pet to stay in. Dogs will be able to roam about freely supervised in our care. If we are not here, you dog will be separated from other animals to ensure he/she stays safe. We take dogs outside to potty every 3ish hours. We can work with any feeding schedule that you have at home also. We do not provide food or treats for your dog, and will never give them anything besides what you bring for them. We have 3 baby gates in our home dividing serperate rooms so that your dog isn't overwhelmed and can have some peace and quiet. My wife is also certified in doggie CPR/ Animal first aid.

Open to any breed or size pet. Would like to know about your pets behavior and any health care above normal they will need. I'm very experienced in most needs. We are able to accommodate dogs that are not friendly with others, but would like to know ahead of time.
