Pet care experience

Please take the time to read our profile in full. We cannot accept dogs who don’t get along with other dogs, has excessive barking, extreme separation anxiety or destructive behavior. About us: Hi there! We understand it can be daunting finding someone you trust to care for your pet, so we definitely understand the responsibility. My fiancé and I are experienced dog owners. We have owned a Lab-Chow mix and a Cockapoo mix in the past. Elijah and I have alternate work schedules so someone will always be home with your precious pooch. We have no children and we did have a Toy Poodle named Juno who recently passed away, so right now we have no pets. So rest assured your dog will have our full attention. What we offer: Your pooch will be exercised, get lots of play time, watch a little tv and can relax whenever they want. There are a few parks near our apartment and the lake is our backyard. If you have special care requests just let us know I'm sure something can be worked out. We don't mind caring for puppies or seniors. Leaving your fur baby with our family will be a sure way to have them cared for in a safe and stress free environment. We look forward to hearing from you!

Janelle was a great dog sitter. We're very happy how Niko was taken care of and we think he had a great time.

I had never left my dog anywhere before because I know he can sometimes be aggressive, and I never fully trusted that someone could handle him properly and prevent any incidents. Because of that, I was always forced to take him with me on vacation. This was the first time I decided to try boarding, and my experience has been amazing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I can go on vacation and leave my dog in safe hands. Everyone recommended this place to me if you need pet boarding, and now I completely understand why. I was constantly receiving updates about my dog, Lucky, and I’m truly grateful for everything they did.
