Pet care experience

I've been an occasional sitter of dogs for friends and family for years. I have experience with large to small dogs. I have also been overnighting rescue dogs for about a year. This has expanded my skills beyond those of trained dogs. I am a licensed health care provider and am comfortable with older or dogs with medical issues. Most dogs in the photos are untrained shelter dogs we have overnighted on their way to a better life.

Joan and Duncan are a great team. We brought our dog with us on a trip to see our son at university. Joan and Duncan were willing to take him in a cone. They made him comfortable and he was happy to go to them a second day. Highly recommend.

Duncan & Joan were wonderful with my Mandy for her overnight stay. Kept me updated frequently which I appreciated.

I really appreciate how laid back these guys were, as I was a super flake for some reason, forgot the bed, the collar, then even had the end-time wrong!) Oscar seemed happy, the only one acting crazy was me ; /...

Elsie loves Joan and Duncan; she always has a great time with them...we love them, too, for providing such kind, quality care to our tiny dog.
