Information Keyona C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any special needs or dietary restrictions. What makes your dog happy (music, dancing, are they snuggle bugs or couch potatoes)?

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.

Pet care experience

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 and dogs that aren’t housebroken.

Keyona was absolutely amazing! She sent lots of videos and went above and beyond to take excellent care of our girl! We are so grateful that she was willing to take her for the week.

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.
