Love the Little Dogs 🐕

I have always been a huge dog lover since childhood. For 16 years I loved and cared for my Bichon Frise who passed away Feb 2024. Throughout his senior life my daughter who lived with me boarded dogs through Rover and my Bichon always loved the company. Now that he is gone and my daughter has her own home, I decided to start boarding dogs on my own. I would love to establish a relationship with some dogs and their families that would allow me to watch and care for them when needed.

Lesley was very good with Bucky, taking him for his regular walks and making him feel at home. She sent lots of photos! I would have preferred knowing how many dogs she would be caring for at the same time my dog was with her. Fortunately, my dog loves canine company.

Where do I even begin? I have nothing but gratitude for Lesley. My Bruce is a sensitive and anxious soul: Lesley took the time during our meet and greet to get to know and ask about Bruce and his habits, preferences, and needs. Lesley has extensive experience working with dogs of various dispositions and it shows. She was equally thorough throughout the entire duration of providing care: at drop off we did a demo of how meals are prepped and clarified med regiment, and pictures and updates were provided daily. Hands down, Bruce's new sitter of choice. Thank you again, Lesley!

Lesley was amazing! We were unsure about leaving our Teddy with a stranger, but immediately after meeting her we felt comfortable. She took him for many walks, sent us many pictures, and even dealt with his sometimes feisty personality. We will be using Lesley again!

Lesley is an AWESOME pet care provider! She is kind, gentle and competent in tending to the quirky needs of our older teacup poodle. She has a welcoming home, with fenced yard and kept us updated daily with lots of photos of our little guy. We are so grateful for the loving care she provides! I HIGHLY recommend her services and will definitely be using her services again!

Schedule

I am currently a school teacher and have school hours M-F. I am free most weekends. If your dog is used to being home alone while you are at work then my home would be a good fit. I have a large fenced yard in which I can either put them out or walk them in the mornings. I will always get right home after work to walk or let them out. During the summer months when school is out I am home much more.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard that is very dog friendly as I have helped care for many dogs. The dogs have full reign to run and play until their hearts are content. In my home the dogs are welcome to make themselves at home and lay on the couch with me or on a dog bed of which I have many or on their own that you bring. The dogs food and water are kept on the floor in the kitchen. Dogs are not allowed in my bed but can sleep in their beds anywhere they are comfortable which includes the floor in my room.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for long walks in my neighborhood and in surrounding parks. My favorites are Webster park and Ellison park. I have a nice yard where dogs can run and play also. I like sitting in my yard throwing balls with the hopes they bring them back to me. Lol!

If you have a senior dog please provide their vet information and payment info for emergencies. I once had to bring a senior client to emergency. Thankfully I noticed something was not right and the vet was able to help him. I stayed in touch with his parents and they did not have to return from their vacation.
