Pet care experience

Dogs have been an integral part of my life for over 40 years and I truly understand their role as treasured family members. They give willingly and ask for so little in return, they are truly selfless. My family rescues senior, neglected dogs with medical issues and conditions so we are accustomed to senior medical issues, medications, injections and how to treat them, food or high value item guarding, separation anxiety and so many other things. We understand completely if a dog has no issues but equally that they might need some special attention or rules to follow for them to truly be their best version of themselves.I volunteer weekly at our local rescue, walk and care for residents while they await their forever homes, and have interacted with thousands of dogs over the last 20 years.

Jonathan and Susan are great with Samson. This was the 2nd time he stayed with them and all the photos and updates provided peace of mind that he was in good hands. I highly recommend Jonathan and his wife as pet sitters!

Samson's stay with Jonathan and his wife, Suzanne was perfect. They took care of him like he was their own. Pictures and updates were sent over to me throughout the day and they played with him and took him on walks. Needless to say, I had no worries and can confidently recommend leaving your pet with this wonderful family. I will be using their services in the future. Nina
