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 and dogs that aren’t housebroken.

I was a little apprehensive about my move because we were leaving our regular sister who we loved. However, this recent stay with Keyona has eased all anxiety and I’m so glad we found her. She was extremely detailed in care, sent lots of videos and pics and checked in with you on how they were doing. Mine is a bit finicky with food in new environments sometimes (she’d rather go play than eat lol). Keyona kept me up to date on how she ate and even offered her fresh food toppers that helped her eat more. My baby is a level 5 clinger and from the updates it looks like she got lots of love and cuddles. She’s back home now, happy and exhausted after a weekend of fun! We can’t wait to utilize her services again.

Keyona was able to accommodate my dog for a last-minute three-day trip, and I truly appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was. She provided excellent customer service and sent me daily pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind and made his first stay with Keyona relaxing and stress-free. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again! Thank you again!

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.

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.
