Information Yakie & Kathy S. would like to know about your pet

• Please let me know if your pup is potty trained, their day to day routine and if she/he has any special needs or behaviors. • How do you deal with certain behaviors and how do you reward good ones? • Are they allergic to anything? • Do they get along with kids and other animals? • And what are some things we need to look out for, ex. if he/she have any triggers.

A typical day

I work remotely, so I'll have plenty of time to play fetch or tug of war with your pups! I have a fenced back yard for your pups to hang out in and soak up some sun. Sonnie is super friendly and loves to make friends, she'll be super happy to play "chase" with your pups!

They watched my little Rocky while I went away from my trip to Texas. Rocky looked so happy when we picked him up and they treated him like family. Would definitely use again and highly recommend their sitting service!
