Pet's Best Friend While You're Away

Need to go out of town for the weekend or a week, no worries for your fur babies. Need someone to drop in at your house to let them out, feed or playtime. No sweat, we will be there too. Just don’t have enough time to walk your precious fur babies, we can be there to do that as well. Just need them to have some interaction with another dog or interaction. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! Our pet care experience includes 16 years of experience, with a deep passion for ensuring the health and happiness of animals under supervision. Compassionate and attentive care is provided, including Diverse animal care: Experience with a variety of pets, including dogs & cats.   We have grooming supplies on hand if you'd like your dog to be clean and smelling fresh the day they're due to go home. We never stop learning about dogs so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. During the day the dogs get as much play time as they prefer as the weather will allow. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! We can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc.    We have multiple indoor and outdoor motion activated cameras to keep an eye on the house when we’re not home.    Our back yard is fenced in with only one other way, besides the through the house, in and out which is always locked. There’s a nice shade tree and wildflowers for your dog to roam through. My goal is to eliminate as many chances as possible of escaping, fighting, overheating, fence aggression, getting into things commonly found in backyards such as trash cans, etc.    We have multiple home security camera monitored water buckets refilled daily in an air conditioned and humidified room so that your pet can feel safe and secure in their own space throughout the night without the worry of them getting into mischief or harmed at night by another dog. No other dog can try to steal their food, your pet won't eat another pet’s food which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and it virtually eliminates the possibility for any resource guarding behaviors.   The Cameras have motion sensors to alert me to any late-night happenings, so I'll know who slept through the night or if a dog wakes up at 2 am and needs to go out to poop/ pee. This arrangement has proven to be ideal and safest for most pets as they feel secure in their own space and gives me the versatility to virtually replicate any pets usual home life. The counter surfing dogs don't get into anything, the anxious destructive dogs don't have anything harmful they can swallow or destroy like door frames etc. Older dogs don't get bombarded by playful puppy energy.   We provide a dog bed, a kennel (in case they need or like sleeping in it) individual food and water bowls. Multiple toys for your puppy can have even more fun. We do modify booking if pick up is past 8pm for an extra $10 or not picked up on time as original booking.   As always, share and spread the word.

I researched and researched on looking for the right sitter for my 6 month old American bully. Whom is very sweet and loving. I thought that this was the best pick after reading many reviews and meeting the sitters. I am giving a 1 start because I do believe a shock collar was used on my pup. I asked how he was doing about 8 hrs into the stay and there was a picture sent to me with a shock collar on his neck. I immediately asked what it was around his neck. Sarah responded by saying her kids were playing dress up with him and that’s why it was on there. Never saying what it was, but I already knew. Out of all the things for the kids to play with, they play with a shock collar??? Doesn’t seem right. Sarah did send multiple pictures of him with it removed after that, trying to reassure me that he was okay but unfortunately the damage had been done and I was worried sick for my pup. I was originally supposed to pick him up at 7pm but ended my Mother’s Day trip to Chicago early to go and get him. When I picked him up he seemed much more milder then what he normally is. His temperament seems off slightly. But what I will say is he has learned to sunbath and loves going outside to lay out now. Unfortunately I may not ever use this app again because of the shock collar. It was extremely hard for me to leave him with strangers but I did and that’s what happened. This has made it more difficult for me to trust anyone with him.

Todd and all his pals were so great with Geordie, and really seemed to care about him! They have a great fenced in back yard for all the pets, which I am sure he loved.
