First-class canine caregiver

Pet care experience

After owning and caring for my own dogs my entire life, I began caring for other people's dogs in recent years. I believe dogs deserve to be treated as a member of the family. Most of my experience is with large and extra large dogs, so size is not a factor for me! In my eyes, there's not much in life that can bring more happiness than a dog, and I enjoy returning the favor back to them! I live in an air conditioned, non-smoking house with a fenced yard, in a nice neighborhood. My home is a quiet, calm environment- perfect for relaxing. I have a 11 year old lab mix named Franklin; however, I’m currently only taking clients while Franklin is staying at his dad’s house, so your dog will be the only one in my home during boarding.

I cannot express my appreciation for Lesley enough! She did GREAT with my kiddos. I have never really left my dogs with anyone overnight other than good friends and family, but she was amazing and the dogs loved her. I appreciated a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet them and they could enter her home once before dropping them off for their stay. Once I realized they were fine, I was much more at ease. Lesley was very accommodating with me and the schedule I had and went above and beyond to help. During their stay she sent me pictures of them having a grand old time and let me know they were doing well and having fun. Unfortunately, I was moving the following week so I cannot use her anymore, but if I were staying in town I would most definitely continue to go back to her to take care of the kiddos!
