Your Dog's Loving & Experienced Home Away From Home With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, including large and powerful breeds like Collies, Rottweilers, and Pit Bulls, I truly understand the unique needs of every canine companion. My own sweet Bentley, a rescue dog, taught me invaluable lessons about patience and specialized care for separation anxiety, which is a big part of why I love what I do. Your dog's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. Here in our home, pets are family! That means your furry friend is welcome to relax on the couch, snooze on their favorite dog bed, or snuggle up wherever they feel most comfortable – we believe in tail-wagging freedom. While our own Bentley is a self-proclaimed bed hog and prefers his own space, we're happy to accommodate your dog's preferences. Our home boasts a large, securely fenced backyard perfect for playtime and stretching those legs. When it comes to walks, I'm an avid walker myself and believe every outing is an adventure waiting to happen. For the safety and enjoyment of all, I only walk a maximum of two dogs at a time, ensuring personalized attention and a stress-free experience. I'm also proficient in basic command training and can keep your pup's manners sharp. From administering daily medications (my current doggo is a pro!) to ensuring plenty of cuddles during drop-in visits, I'm committed to providing attentive and loving care. I genuinely enjoy interacting with every dog I meet, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away.

Jon was great! Zola clearly had a phenomenal time with Jon, family and Bentley. We got lots of pictures and frequent updates about Zola. Jon's communication was fantastic! I wasnt worried about Zola one bit, knowing she was in very good hands. Thank you so very much again!

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for Your Pet in Your Home (Drop-In Visits / House Sitting) When I care for your pet in your home, my primary focus is to ensure their comfort and security in their familiar environment. I adhere to their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, making sure all your specific instructions are followed precisely. I'll provide regular updates, including photos, so you can see how happy and relaxed your pet is. Beyond their direct care, I also take precautions to keep your home secure during my visits, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
