Over 15 years of dog care!

Pet care experience

Boarding service includes two one hour off leash romps per day. Currently can accept only female larger/medium dogs-and small male/female. I have over 16 years experience owning, fostering and watching dogs. I am very active and go on daily hikes, live close to a leash off regional park and have a great truck to get us there. In home care-we have a large yard, fenced and ready for lots of fetch play. Please advise any special needs, medications, allergies. Bonded, insured. You can rest assured your pets and home will be safe and that your pooch will have a comfortable stay!

Joan was amazing. She took great care of Nymeria and took her on daily hikes with her two cute and friendly dogs, Kona and Bear. She sent picture and videos from every hike which I loved. I could see Nymeria and how happy she was!

Joan was amazing for me and Maya and I would highly recommend her dog sitting services. She cared for Maya so well and made me feel at ease while I was on an out of country trip. From the beginning Joan was very considerate, attentive and obviously very experienced with dogs. She suggested a meet and greet, allowing allow Maya and her dogs to get to know each other a bit ahead of time. I appreciated her taking this time so much. Joan was so caring and aware of Maya's needs while helping her have an absolute blast. Maya had daily active play outside, hikes (2x day !), walks, swimming excursions and much more. She even got Maya a bubble machine and baby pool to play with - some of Maya's absolute favorite things :) Joan's space is really dog friendly with a nice outside yard and nearby trails for outdoor hikes. This is so helpful for Maya's high energy needs. I'm so grateful for Joan and how well she cared for Maya. I don't know if I've ever seen Maya smile so much in photos and look so relaxed and content when I picked her up :) I would highly recommend!!

AMAZING! Wonderfully nice family in a perfect location. My dog was in heaven. She updated me with regular images throughout the day and took her on a long walk. She was almost reluctant to get in the car with me to go home (“can’t I play with my friends for 10 more minutes, pleeeeeease”) ? Will absolutely use them again.

Joan was great with my fur baby! It was the first time that she didn't come home stressed out for days!

Information Joan W. would like to know about your pet

We do have two large pups, one who has started to only care for female larger dogs. Our Rottweiler is super playful and loves any dog. Our male shepherd is older and sedentary. He prefers to not be challenged by younger male dogs his size.

A typical day

We take a morning off leash romp, play in fenced yard during the day and an early evening hike off leash. Lots of exercise and toys laying around:)
