Information John K. would like to know about your pet

If their dog gets along well with other dogs? If they chew things and are they potty trained. Any special medications or food allergies? Any special requests? Does your dog show aggressive behavior ?

A typical day

I can take your dog on walks, play ball or frisbee or whatever activity you prefer. I’m very observant of dogs behaviors and I will avoid any other dogs who may become aggressive. I’m very trustworthy and I have compassion for all animals but I have been a dog lover all of my life.

Pet care experience

Our Rover calendar books up quickly, therefore please book early. Your pet is cared for without the worry of other dogs being present, so there are no other dog incidents or diseases that will affect your dog. All dogs are given Brita filtered water and we follow all feeding and or medication instructions as requested. My wife Blanca and I are usually booked up for months in advance, therefore please book early. We also only book one client at a time, hence we have slightly higher fees. We have raised dogs most of our lives and they bring us great joy. We pay special attention to them and treat all dogs as if they were our own. We do not charge more for larger dogs like most boarders do! Our fenced in back yard is treated for fleas in between boarding’s. We traditionally only board one dog at a time, so individual attention is given, unlike doggie daycares that can be unsanitary and overcrowded. If a client has more than one dog we can accommodate them as well. We are both retired from Dallas College, therefore we have plenty of time to safely walk, play and most importantly, pay attention to your dog! We are well versed in handling dogs on walks with a leash, as well as playing games with them. We are very trustworthy and we understand how difficult it is to leave you dog with someone you don’t know, but rest assured we will treat them as if they were our own. I’m an avid golfer, ex-MMA practitioner and yogi who has no issues keeping pace with high energy dogs. My wife and I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love us and they always enjoy their stay and eat normally, as if they were at home. We are fascinated with the fact that they each have different personalities and we look forward to getting to know your dog’s personality. Although there are dog sitters with lower fees, we base our fees off of our dog/life experience, integrity, and individual attention. Please consider using our services and we promise that your dog 🐶 will be treated as one of the family in a safe friendly environment. For high energy dog, Tips are appreciated. We look forward to caring for your special pup. Sincerely, John K. And Blanca K.

John and his wife were absolutely wonderful with our two girls when our family went out of the country for vacation. He is easy to schedule with, great communicator, and most importantly - treated our dogs with love and care. The fenced in back yard and being only 1 client at a time were immensely important to us. They also fed and gave medication as needed. They sent daily photos and videos. We would love to book with them again!

It's always a huge piece of mind anytime John keeps Harper for us. She loves her time there!

Best dog sitters we have ever used, no question! They updated us several times while we were out. They gave our dogs the royal treatment. It is very comforting knowing they were with sitters who treat them on par with how we do at home!

John and Blanca were great to work with. They shared photos of him everyday and it seemed like he had a lot of fun spending time in their beautiful backyard. They’re usually fully booked but will definitely try to have them watch our dog again in the future.
