I love dogs and THEY love me!

Pet care experience

I have a medium sized fenced in back yard that is great for the dogs to run and play. I do not mind taking a run with your dog or even going to the dog park. I am in excellent health and physical shape, so no dog scares me. I have owned adult dogs from as little as 10 pounds to as many as 110 pounds. As a child, I raised nearly 400 puppies with my dad over a 10-year period. In addition to raising dogs, I have rescued several large to small pups. I can love a pure bread and a mixed dog better than anyone can without being bias. They are all God’s creation and I want to host them and make them feel at home while they are away from your home. Through my experiences with dogs, I learned how to train and take care of them very well. I love hosting dogs, but have begun walking and doing more drop in visits so please message me for all your dog needs! I am a high school teacher. My hours are set with work, but I have great pet friendly trusted friends who often will jump in to help me with accommodations to meet my client and pets needs. I have not had a dog injured or escape from my care. I am very big on safety. I want the dogs to play together with others, but they need that proper introduction and time to ensure all goes smoothly. I also never leave them in the backyard if I leave the house.

Jonathan is great to work with - he’s as accommodating as possible and our pup comes home happy and healthy.

Jonathan was incredible watching our pup over the holidays. We even had to do a last minute change of plans in the middle of her stay, and Jonathan was super responsive and so accommodating to help us make the adjustments. Our pup is always so excited to spend time with Jonathan! And we know we will be using him next time we head out of town.

Jonathan is amazing. He has a calm presence that soothed our energetic and nervous young dog. He understands dogs and was not put off by my worries - what if she digs in your yard? What if she’s too playful with your dog? What if what if - he was nonplussed and has seen it all. When she got home again she settled in calmly, telling us with her behavior she had a good time! I think she would enjoy a visit and we will gladly book with him again if we can.

Appreciate that Jonathan was looking after my Bohdi while I was in Arizona, visiting family for 4 days during Christmas. I just wish that I received more updates, more pictures, and videos. I’m grateful that he let me drop off Bohdi a day earlier and pick him up a day after, due to the crazy flight times, but I don’t think I would book with Jonathan again. Will still leave a tip because I am grateful. But I brought Bohdi home and he has been having bad diarrhea. Which I wish I knew about before picking him up.

Information Jonathan W. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate basically any special needs requests. Just ask and I have probably done it, or can do it. I’m always willing to learn.

A typical day

Typically if the weather is nice I let the dogs enjoy the backyard as much as they want to. Dogs that need an additional walk or run can have one, but most get their energy out if I have other dogs boarding. We enjoy cuddles in my house from the floor, to the couch, and even my bed.
