Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a designated space for boarding/sitting. For pet play I have an enclosed patio area as well as a large fenced in backyard. Depending on the size of your pet I have an additional fenced area to ensure that they are protected from larger dogs and have the opportunity to play with others that are their size. In the event that I need leave my home to run an errand your pet will be crated. Your pet will also be crated at night for safety purposes. Additionally, I have two pets myself, Raina who is a Belgin Malinois, and Lincoln who is a Yorkshire Terrier. Both are well mannered and enjoy playing with others. During playtime, and all outside activities to include potty breaks your pet will always be under our watchful care.

Information Russell S. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of the following: Is your pet potty trained? Is your pet crate trained? (Crates are used when I am unable to actively watch your pet's activities) Is your pet up to date on all required vaccinations? Is your pet aggressive towards people or other pets, or have your pet ever bitten someone? Does your pet have any type allergies, food or otherwise?

A typical day

I have a fairly large backyard that allows your pet to run and play in a safe fenced in area (under supervision of course). Additionally, I live in a quiet neighborhood that affords me the opportunity to safely walk my pets as well as others in my care from time to time depending on the weather. The lake area located within my neighborhood is one of my favorite places to walk and explore with my K9 buddies.

Russell was excellent with our fur baby. My dog has high energy. She is a very sharp girl but likes to jump and pull. After a few days with Russell she was listening much better. He even gave me a few tips. He also provided me with information of when she ate and pooped when I picked up. I will definitely rebook with him.

My Ella was overjoyed, and I can sense that she was well-cared for. Thank you, Russell, for taking care of Ella and treating her as one of your own. It’s truly challenging to find someone you can trust and who will treat your furry companions with the utmost care. I’m so grateful to have found Russell! Ella will be back to visit again soon.
