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.

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.

Thank you for the past 7 days. I think it must have been difficult dealing with my selfish girlfriend. I came back a bit tired. Thank you very much.

Jonathan took great care of my dogs. This was my first time boarding them and I felt so comfortable that they were safe there!
