About: Growing up, we always had dogs. We had 3 miniature schnauzers Abbey, Lola, and Boujee along with our Old English Bulldog Kate (who also thinks she is a schnauzer). I currently have a sassy miniature schnauzer of my own, Margie, whom I love to do everything with. She is great around other animals. We would love to have your pups come stay with us! I am home and available during the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible! Your pet is guaranteed to be loved and well taken care of! I have a fenced backyard, with lots of room for all the zoomies! My dog is super friendly and would love to meet new friends. Your dog will have a ball with us!
About: 🐶 I've been called to care for dogs. The connection is inexplicable. The love is genuine 😎 🐕 🐶 Clients trust me because 1. their dogs love me 2. Im responsible and answer my phone 3. I provide a quiet, safe environment, with a big fenced yard 4. I send lots of pics and vids while their dogs are in my care Pets are my passion. This is what I do. I have plenty of time to give your pet a vacation or even a mini doggy boot camp depending on your wishes. Depending on client wishes, I provide: -lots of exercise -training (basic) -grooming (basic) -dog socializing This is a home, not a kennel. My home has a very loving and positive energy.

This house is a corner lot and has MANY windows! 🪟 Lots for the pets to see outside 🌳 🏡 Plus I have ceiling to floor windows that the pets especially love. SEE MY PICS!

About: They call me Nana!! I have tons of experience caring for little ones of all sizes and breeds. It's a privilege to nurture fur babies and connect with their unique personalities! My goal is to provide a calm environment with a consistent schedule of meals, walks, play time and lots of belly rubs! Your pet will experience a child and pet free home and walks in the solitude park around the way. Most important your loved one will have my undivided attention and quality care! I work from home with a flexible schedule and therefore would be fully available to spend time with your pup. If I needed to step out the time would be limited. During the time that your pet would be under my care my routine is to take a long walk once a day which your pet would accompany. This is in addition to as many potty breaks as needed along with playtime. I recommend that the pup owner bring a bed, crate, toys and treats for pup to feel right at home.
