Pet care experience

The one that pets love!

I have had pets since a child (duck, rabbit, dogs, cats, iguanas) and just love them. I let dogs take their time when exploring and I don’t rush them unless I see that they have found a Scooby snack. Most dogs prefer to sit in my lap even when in the presence of their owner. They love me and I love them even the sassiest of them. I work from home which allows me to be available 24 hours a day. If your pet is a foodie, they will love it here (salmon bites, duck necks, chicken feet, ice cream, pup cups and frozen fruit on hot days). I will send an update the first evening and the morning after so you are certain that they have settled in. Thereafter I will send a picture or video daily but you are welcomed to check in at any time. My assistant Imani (my mom who lives with and assists with sitting), also enjoys loving on and helping with your babies. She may help with check in/ check out and walks. **I now have a cat and cannot accept dogs that aren’t cat friendly. I also cannot accept unfixed dogs.

Keyona was beyond amazing! This is my third time boarding my Goldendoodle and Bernedoodle with her. She takes great care of them making sure they get enough walks, play time, cuddles, and snacks. My pups love her pups Annie and Bentley. They don’t have any issues with her cat. Overall I feel very at ease leaving my pets with Keyona because I know they’re in a loving and caring environment. She even went the extra mile and took them to their grooming appointment during their last boarding. I am extremely grateful to have found her and I recommend her if you’re looking for boarding services.

Keyona is a dog whisperer. She is so patient and kind. We have a very anxious dog and she was able to keep him at ease and took very good care of him. We will definitely be bringing our dog back.

Awesome care for your fur baby with consistent updates. I have used Keyona several times and will book again. My dog loves her!

Bella loves Keyona and vice versa!! She always keeps me updated with pictures and videos of Bella! Helps me keep my worries down about how she’s doing without me. Will definitely be rebooking for the 3rd time in October!

Keyona was a wonderful dod sitter for my Pierre. This was Keyona's first time with Pierre so they really did not know one another. Keyona kept me abreast of what Pierre was or was not doing. Whenever I made a suggestion concerning Pierre, she followed through with him. At the end of Pierre's stay at Keyona's home, he returned home to me happy and content. No signs of being stressed at all. I would definitely recommend her to friends and will be a returning client if she would have us.

Keyona was absolutely amazing! From the initial meet-and-greet to daily photo and video updates during Cookie’s stay, she made the entire process seamless. It was my first time using Rover and the first time someone outside of family or close friends watched Cookie, but Keyona’s genuine care and love for animals put me completely at ease. She truly went above and beyond, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a friendly dog. I use baby gates and can also crate your dog (you must bring the crate with you). They would sleep in my bedroom on the dog beds and have free range of the house (except the kitchen which has a gate up).

Pets

A typical day

There is a park about a mile away where my Annie and I like to walk to in order to sniff and explore. Your doggy will join us on this adventure while we chase squirrels and have a race or two (I’m hoping for a dog that will let me win, just once). During the day we have out in the office (in the basement) where they will watch dog tv and play with toys. There is a midday walk and again in the evening we’ll go back out for more exploring before dinner.
