Reliable, Experienced & Loving Care

All dogs who Board with me will usually be given a free bath during their stay as my gift to you (depending on their tolerance) I have a pretty big flat, fenced yard that your dogs will love. I also have tons of dog toys, treats, and beds available for your pups. any dogs who Board with me are welcome to sleep in the human's beds if that is what they are accustomed to. I send daily updates and pictures! I spent 20 years in the military, so I am very reliable, communicative, responsible, and attentive to the need of your pet. I can sometimes offer free pickup and drop off to those living in Columbus, GA, and Phenix City, AL, depending on the length of your little one's stay and my schedule. I’m a student and have to make the commute daily for a few hours here and there, so the hours are dependent on that. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

It was the best experience! John took very good care of our dogs. They had a great time 😊 If you want your dog to be loved and cared for while you're gone, ask John to look after your fur baby. You won't regret! Thank you so much 🙂

John was such a great dog sitter! He took care of my 3 dogs, and took them last minute because I had to go out of town for an unexpected funeral. He sent a lot of photos and always responded to messages quickly. I can tel my dogs had a great time and I will be booking him again.

John did an amazing job taking care of my dogs when I had to go out of town last minute for work. He communicated very well, and I had peace of mind knowing my little ones were in good hands while I had to be away. He was very particular on making sure he had all their care instructions and followed them specifically, which I really appreciated. I was running late on pick up because of a flight delay, and he was very nice and understanding about it. I really loved all the photos and updates he sent, and the free bath too! I will book with John again, and would recommend him whole heartedly to anyone!

Pets

A typical day

To start the day, I take everyone outside for their morning potty and exercise time. We then go in to eat breakfast, and what happens next depends on the needs of your pup. Some prefer to nap, some prefer to play. We typically spend lots of time playing and outside every day. I also send photos and updates every day.

Please let me know if your dog takes any medication, or has any other special needs I need to be aware of. Please bring your dog's food and medications, and feel free to bring a comfort item for them if you would like, but I have lots of dog bowls, beds, and toys available. I always have fresh water available to drink.
