Super thoughtful and experience with dogs. Sent videos and updates and was flexible when we needed to pick our dog up later than expected. Beautifully maintained home and neighborhood.

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.

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.
