Pet care experience

I love dogs🐶 & will love yours too

I have had 3 dogs over the past 18 years and have really enjoyed them even though they had very different personalities. Charlie, my 1st dog as an adult, was friendly to humans, but more aggressive with other dogs at times. After he passed away, I really missed him, so in a few months I got my dog Sally who was a miniature Poodle mix rescue dog. My current dog Linus is also a sweet and friendly dog. I will take good care of your dog as well and I have a fully fenced double lot, so they can wander around to their heart's content. If they need to be walked, I can do that too since I live on a quiet dead end street with nearby trails. I work from home most of the day and when I am gone, the dogs will be put together in my spare bedroom. At night, your dog will sleep in my bedroom.

John was once again super flexible. We had to last minute add a day AND pick up the dogs late, and John was very accommodating. Lots of updates and pictures, and the dogs came back happy and tired.

John is our 1st choice when we need dog boarding. This most recent time he was generously flexible about the pick up time when we had a cat emergency.

We had a great experience with boarding Zeus. John was prompt, communicative, sent regular updates and Zeus had a great time. Will definitely recommend.

Thanks so much John 🙏

We always leave Mingus with John whenever we're away! Every time we leave Mingus with him, we know he is in caring and attentive hands. John is reliable, communicative, and treats Mingus like his own. Highly recommended!

Schedule

I'm currently working full-time and I'm only gone for 2 to 4 hours typically and then home the rest of the day. I don't work on weekends. (Please note: I turn off my phone between 10 to 11 pm each night and don't turn it on until about 8:30 am in the morning, so if you call or text me during those times, my response will be delayed).

Safety, trust & environment

My entire property is fully fenced and there is about 15,000 square feet for them to wander around in. The dogs are always in a safe environment and I put a stop to any aggressive behavior right away.

Pets

A typical day

Most dogs just run around on my fenced property, but I can walk them if needed as the street I live on is very safe dead end and there are trails nearby in the Paradise Lake Conservation Area. I will also be happy to toss their ball or other toy for them or play tug-of-war with a rope if they like that.

Let me know about any special needs. I have cared for my previous dog that had a bad back, so I built ramps for both my beds (see pictures). I have brushed my dog's teeth at night and could do that with yours as long as they are used to it and don't bite or growl at this. I am not comfortable doing injections.
