Information Kent L. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about all of your dog's personality and needs. Most important: The extent of any anxiety issues and how to respond. What do you do to curb the anxiety? And if your dog has special meds/foods etc..or perhaps an unusual or uncommon behavior...please inform me up front. Be sure that if I see any alarming symptoms or behaviors, you have my promise: I will let you know immediately! I take only one dog at a time. **SPECIAL NOTES: ONLY ADULT DOGS 4+ YEARS OLD. NO DOGS THAT ARE FULLY BLIND OR DEAF.**

A typical day

With every walk..many sniffs guaranteed! Be sure to bring what will make your dog comfortable, as well as any toys...we'll play together. Advise me of special treats that you'd prefer they have and or foods you'd prefer they NOT have. I take only one dog at a time. **SPECIAL NOTES: ONLY ADULT DOGS 4+ YEARS OLD.

Only One Dog At A Time...

Pet care experience

I board...ONLY ONE ADULT DOG (4+ YRS)...at a time. I have a good rapport with all dogs--senior dogs most especially. I grew up in rural Kansas and I've always had my own dog, until recently. I've also fostered and helped to re-home dogs. I'm ready to give your furry family member the very best in care. **SPECIAL NOTE: NO DOGS THAT ARE FULLY BLIND OR DEAF, please.

Kent was wonderful with Rocky. Not only did he accommodate our last minute booking request with enthusiasm, he was a great communicator and made sure to stay in contact before, during and after Rocky’s stay. He sent me pictures as I requested and kept Rocky safe and cool in this crazy heat we are having. He seemed to really like Rocky, which is important too. Thank you Kent, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Kent is always wonderful with my Chloe! She’s a small dog who can be reactive and have separation anxiety but Kent deals with her issues with incredible care.

Our dog Rusty can be difficult at times and is set in his ways. Kent was very accommodating with him. He really knows dogs and how to keep them calm when they are away from their family. Kent's communication was excellent. He responded almost immediately to our messages and routinely sent us pictures of Rusty. We really appreciate Kent being so kind and easy to work with. We will definitely use him again in the future.
