Safety, trust & environment

While dog all dogs had freedom unless specified by their owner the dog liked to sleep in their crate for a medical reason. I am also great with any age furbaby and if they have medical needs. My Rottweiler had medical conditions with special food and pills that had to be given daily twice a day. My Black Lab Shadow is very playful but also loves to cuddle and thinks he’s a lap dog. He loves all size doggies.

Information Kerry W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know their temperament. Playful and energy level. Any medical needs; special diets, medications, elderly. If they are able to have treats and if there are specific treats as I have a dog treat/toy shop in walking distance. How are they with other dogs as I live is a dog friendly community. If they are scared of any certain things. What’s their favorite toy? Are they allowed on the furniture?

A typical day

I have toys in the house so if they are playful they are taken care of and love taking walks! With my two rescue dogs in their older age they like shorter slower walks and relaxing in the grass while I sat on a bench so I will go with the dogs pace. Brushing and cuddles on the couch or bed to wind down the day.

Also, the past 10 years was the official dog sitter of all my friends dogs including a Saint Bernard, frenchie, golden retriever, lab and basset hound! Love dog sitting it is my happy place and love the different characters of each and every dog baby!

Our pup Bella had so much fun with Kerry and Shadow. Kerry took Bella to the dog park and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures of our girl having a blast with Shadow.

Kerry is fantastic! She always consistently updates me on Bean and I know my dog feels at home with her. Bean is a handful at 140 lbs and Kerry is patient with her antics which I so appreciate!

Kerry and Peter were absolutely amazing and took exceptional care of my pup, Indie. She’s usually anxious around new people, but she warmed up to them right away—I could tell they made her feel completely at home. They were also incredibly accommodating when my flight was cancelled and I had to pick her up later than planned. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I will definitely trust them with Indie again in the future.
