Hello and thanks for reading my bio! I've had dogs my whole life. Growing up, my dad worked at an animal hospital. As a child, I would go with him to help clean, care for and comfort the animals. Since then there has always been at least one fur baby by my side… and on my lap. In May 2019 our 13 yr old Black Lab crossed the rainbow bridge. We miss her greatly and have yet to adopt another. So your baby will have my full undivided attention! I'm recently semi retired and only maintain a few websites very part time. My favorite job now, is loving your pet. Whether they like to explore, play tug-of-war, take a ride to the park or just hang out on the couch, they will get loads of love and attention. I am available 7 days a week, on your schedule from 7am-9pm and 24 hours when boarding. Available for the upcoming 2019 Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with a dog park, plenty of paths and lots of green area. In our community I know more dog’s names than their owner’s names. Of course, all activities we do will only be with your pre-approval and prior permission. You will get loads of pictures and video. My wife Mary occasionally helps me out and is just as much of a dog lover as I am. I jokingly call her The Santa Claus because kids and dogs are always so excited to see her and follow her around. If you're traveling and your fur baby stays with us, they will have access to the couches and beds if you allow it. You can also bring their bed or crate for their comfort. We adhere to any walking/eating schedule they may have. We only board one dog at a time (or 2 if both yours). If you prefer your baby to stay in the comfort of your home, while you're gone, we can work out a schedule for walks, check-ins and feedings at a reasonable rate. If you’re like me, your pet means the world to you. They will be treated like part of the family anytime we're together. I would be honored to meet them and you, of course. Meet and greets are always free. They give us all a chance to get to know each other, and make the first visit without you a little smoother.
