Wayne, his wife and their dog Blair were wonderful company for my Willy over the weekend. Even got Willy out of her shell a little bit. I had been concerned, but it was exactly what we both needed. I definitely plan to book with them again.

Wonderful day visit. Wayne and Toya really listened to us describing our senior dogs likes and needs. When we picked them up, he described their day, and it was exactly what each of the girls needed. Quiet day for Dixie and lots of walks (and pets) for Stella. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks so much Wayne and Toya.

Wayne and his wife did an excellent job on communicating and sending pics of my girls. I was definitely nervous at first because I’ve never left them but after he sent me the first picture I was put at ease. They did an excellent job taken care of my girls.

We had a good experience. Wayne kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Macy looked happy and like she was at home. We highly recommend them and would definitely use their services again.

Wayne is the best dog sitter around. He keeps you updated with pictures of your pet on a regular basis. I just went to Jamaica for a few days and I received updates on Bear, my dog, everyday. Thanks again, Wayne, you’re the best.

Pets

A typical day

I like to get up early and first thing is feeding and then a long morning walk and belly rubs. Pups normally love to explore the back yard and lounge outside. I have balls and toys to play with too. After they have an afternoon walk they will get an afternoon yogurt treat or lick pad. Until the evening, the rest of the day is spent roaming the house, going in and outside or napping. Dinner is normally followed by an evening walk or visit to the dog park. Before retiring we will spent some time watching tv on the couch.
