Loving sitter with fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs all my life and have been boarding them for nearly six years. I have one dog. His name is Buddy. I rescued him 7 years ago and it was the best decision ever! He’s an 11 year old Morkie, (maltese/yorkie mix). He’s the sweetest little boy and is spoiled rotten. Buddy and I stay very active. We walk three times a day so your dog will get plenty of exercise with us! I also have a doggy door leading to a large fenced in yard. I keep all owners updated via text messaging and will send multiple pictures/videos throughout their stay. I am always more than happy to do a meet and greet before drop offs and look forward to meeting new puppies!! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! We’ll stay very active and walk several times a day. I have a large house with a fenced in backyard. Your pup is free to roam them both. If they prefer crates, I can do that too.

Samantha was great! Her communication was spectacular and I loved seeing the pictures and feedback of Shakespeare's experience throughout the weekend. We cannot wait to rebook with her!

Alyeska had a great time at Samantha's home! We received frequent updates on how she was adjusting and doing throughout her stay. Drop off and pick up went very smoothly. Alyeska will definitely be back for future boarding needs.
