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.
