Pet care experience

24hr love + House with fenced yard

Every pet has their own unique personality that we understand and love, in your house or in ours. Pet lovers since childhood, we've been taking care of our own and others for the past 12 years. We have a large fenced backyard, and take the dogs for walks (when appropriate) each day. While we have a mixed house, our house has separate floors for dogs and cats, as they do appreciate having their own space. We have no problems administering medicine and taking care of puppies and older dogs. We never put animals in kennels/crates. In case of emergency the vet is a few blocks away.

John, Viona, and family took the best care of our pup, Hanks! They took him in as if he was their own while we were gone for almost 2 whole weeks. We were anxious about leaving him for that long, but once we met John and Viona, we felt at ease. While we were away, he got tons of love and attention and was treated as part of the family while with them and their own dog, Maxie. We were stress-free while traveling knowing Hanks was happy and well-cared for and we enjoyed getting photos and videos of him regularly. We would absolutely recommend John & Viona and they will definitely be our go-to, first contact when we travel from now on =)

Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!

John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.

We are very fortunate to have John face care of my dog, Tom, while we are on vacation. Tom’s loved, cared for and treated as if he we were with us. I highly recommend John for your dog-caring needs.

Basement, first floor and backyard is for the dogs, upstairs is for the cats, including our two amazing Siberians.
