Pet care experience

Walking is a big part of my life. My wife and I both love dogs, we have owned a beagle in Ireland, a collie and a lab / greyhound cross in England. We live in a rural, gated community that backs onto a state park. We are physically active, recently retired professionals who do not want to be restricted by owning a dog but are keen to enjoy being with dogs and having a dog to accompany us on walks. Our daughter has a dog and she introduced us to the idea of looking after dogs for other people, in fact she stayed with us while looking after a dog for someone else. We can offer a safe but stimulating environment for your precious pet

John and Carmela were wonderful to our Dusty! Dusty is not as active as most dogs, she has bad hips, but John was able to get her out and let her have some fun. When we got home she was patiently waiting for us and looked to be relaxed and happy. Hope to be able to have Dusty stay with them before long!

John was great. We were gone for three weeks and he sent regular updates with pictures while we were away. Lana was truly cared for like she was part of their family. We would absolutely use john's services again.

I am blessed to have met John and his wife. He takes excellent care of Seamus, it is obvious he truely loves spending time with him. He has been very flexible and has helped me out last minute several times.

John was great! We left our dog with him for two weeks while in Europe and I felt completely confident that she was in good hands. I got regular updates with her on long walks and playing fetch. John and his wife seem like real dog lovers who give the best care and attention to the dogs they watch. Our dog, Ellie, seemed very happy and at ease. I couldn't ask for more while being so far away! Thank you!
