Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to get the exercise it needs. I have 4 dogs to play with yours if you would like, otherwise I can keep them separate. We have a large crate available, if your dog needs to be crated as well. Getting married and want your pet there? I do offer wedding pet attendant services as well! Along with baths, transport and hiking services!

Pets

A typical day

I can take your dog on a walk in our neighborhood and to the park where there is a large open field to play fetch or down to the boat launch and bring them for a swim. I also hike at a few local parks and forest reserves where I can give your dog plenty of exercise.
