Information Joanna & Brian S. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that it would help us to know about. It's okay if your dog is afraid of thunder and lightning and jumps into our bathtub or won't go out in the rain.

A typical day

If dogs have secure collars and are manageable on a leash, we sometimes go on walks. We have also taken dogs to outdoor dining spots or concerts at Town Center. We have 2 toy buckets with a wide variety of types and sizes of toys. Dogs who like toys usually find toys they like. Both of us are alwawus willing to play fetch.

Dogs are our Grandchildren!

Pet care experience

My family has owned 9 dogs, a cat, a rabbit, sugar gliders, tree frogs, hamsters, turtles, and fish over a 37 year period. We consider our pets part of our family and treat them as such. Brian, works from home and I am currently trying out retirement. So we are both home during the day.Dogs are welcome to stay in our home or we can make home visits. We are available to visit cats and other pets at home (except snakes). We have a large, fully fenced yard. We don't crate our dogs but we do have large and medium-sized crates ,if that is what makes your dog comfortable.We understand that your dog will miss you and we want to make your dog's stay as pleasant as possible. If that means they need a human to sleep with we can accomodate that. We often put grated cheese on dog's dinners {If they don't have food allergies } if they are homesick and not eating. We do what it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and part of our family.

What an amazing care taker Joanna and Brian are. We have had some bad experiences via rover but this one is a keepsake. We will be going back only to them in the future. Remo had a wonderful break at their place and they kept sending so many pics of him throughout our vacations. Our entire family enjoyed those pics and we were happy that remo was in a safe place. I would give them 100 stars of at that was an option. Thank you so much. Our baby had so much love to give and I truly hope you enjoyed him as much as he did.

Joanna and Brian helped me out of a tight squeeze with their ability to take my dog in on short notice. Their home was set up to be a comfortable place for dogs, and they were very prompt and professional. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely use their services!
