Fenced yard and I'm home full time.

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I adopted my 12-year-old (Soft-coated Wheaten) two years ago after he was deemed "useless" on the dog show circuit. He, Woodson, is a mild guy. He was a show dog and is used to interacting with other dogs. He is my family now that my kids are grown and gone. UPDATE: I sadly had to have Woodson put down in late January of 2019. I'm not yet ready for another dog. Woodson left a big hole in my heart and those of my family/grandkids. For now, my dog-boarding business has greatly helped me deal with Woodsy's loss. I also raised four puppies for Leader Dogs for the Blind, and three went on to serve their blind owners. This was a very rewarding experience. I am retired and home full time. My yard is fenced and your dog will be safe and able to run free. For the past two years, I have been sitting for a senior Yorkie and a senior Lab so I have experience with dogs other than my own.

We went on a 2 week vacation which is longer than we have ever left our dog before, but felt safe knowing she was in good hands. Joan was great with our dog and provided updates and good communication. You can tell she has experience with dogs and provides that personalized, loving touch that you can’t get at traditional boarding places. Will book Joan again!

Joan was wonderful with our dog Penny as we traveled out of town. She gave us updates and pictures of our pup and was flexible with our drop off/pickup. Penny liked Joan’s fenced-in backyard too. She was nice to work with and we look forward to using her again for our next trip!
