We are a repeat customer. We are always at peace when we go on vacation knowing that our fur baby is well taken care off. Wayne is such a loving and caring pet sitter. Everyday while we are away, our boys look forward to Wayne’s photo and video of our fur baby. We don’t want to take this for granted and we are very appreciative for this gesture. We will always recommend him for anyone who needed a dog sitter.

Wayne did an excellent job taking care of our dog, Charlie! He was great to work with, it was a very quick turnaround time from when I booked the stay until we dropped charlie off. Wayne made time for a quick meet and greet. He sent us pictures and videos daily so we could see how charlie was doing. Highly recommend him!

We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing care Wayne provided for Miller! He was truly the best—so personable, caring, and attentive from start to finish. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Miller was in such good hands; Wayne kept us fully updated the entire time while providing top-notch care. We are beyond happy and will definitely be using his services again and again!

Schedule

I am recently retired after 37 years in the printing industry, so I am home all day everyday now. I am an active person who is an early morning runner likes having something to help keep me busy during the day. Playing with the dogs is ideal. A true labor of love.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a ranch house (no stairs) and a fully fenced in backyard which is escape proof (no gaps or holes). That would be very important to me if I were looking for daycare for my dog. My Beagles are very friendly and will love having company. I have a crate w/blanket inside the house for sleep/nap times as needed. They can play around in the house or maybe just snuggle up on the couch. Plenty of water will be provided as well as any treats or food you may wish to bring. Rest assured, your loved one will be safe, comfortable and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will interact and play with me & my Beagles Holly & Fannie both inside the house and in the backyard. I have safe toys and on hot days I have a little pup pool that they can splash around in. The dogs eat their meals separately so they don't get into each others food. Your dog will sleep in a crate in my bedroom along with me and my dog Holly.
