“Kat kept my 2 year old Cavapoo for a week. She sent me pictures daily, has great communication. My dog loves attention and they seemed to give him plenty of that. He had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“Camo's first stay with Ron and his pups went fantastic! Camo took to Ron and his dogs right away and despite Camo being a moma's boy, he seemed to get comfortable quickly and became Ron's little shadow. Lily and Canoli were very gracious to let Camo steal some of their balls and Ron's attention and bed space! Thank you Ron family for taking such good care of my little man!”
“Our dog is totally content when we take him to stay with Sheila and her husband Dave. He is loved and well cared for when he stays there. I would highly recommend Sheila and Dave!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care. I have a very quiet older dog. She was well loved and well cared for. She (they) are well educated in dog nutrition and training. Thanks again Angela and family.”
“Carina and her family were absolutely wonderful to Noah. We needed a last minute sitter for longterm care and she was quick in responding to us. We were hesitant at first as we never booked a sitter prior to this and Noah was adopted from PACC within the year so we couldn't provide 100% information about his character. Carina was very patient with him and took him on walks he had many cuddles with her family. She updated us frequently while we were out of the country and even offered to purchase his treats that we forgot to leave with her. We will 100% rebook with her the next time we are in need! Thank you Carina 😊”
“Awesome sauce ?! She was the warmest with our four legged friend and she was super tentative our girl. T was great to know we went on vacation for a special treat away, but so did our girl. Thanks Vicky!”
“Our brand new baby puppy was in great hands with Sylvie. To be honest we were SO worried about leaving her for so long while she was just a baby but Sylvie communicated each day with us and sent videos reassuring that she was happy and healthy. We will definitely go back to her again!”
“Really appreciate the care Teddy got. You stepped in last minute, and did a great job. Teddy was calm and happy when I got back. I’d definitely book you again. Thanks a ton!!”
“I really loved how active she was with Moose! It felt like he was also on vacation while we were on vacation. I appreciated the time she took to let us know how he was doing each day. I felt so relaxed about him being with her!”
“Gail is wonderful! She watched my little dog for just under a week. He took to her immediately. She had a few other dogs onsite which was great. I highly recommend her :)”
“Gina was attentive, kind, and great energy! I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't be happier with our experience.”
“Julie was fantastic! She took excellent care of Rosie, and sent daily pictures/updates to me while I was away to let me know how she was doing. Julie was very pleasant to work with and it's obvious that she loves dogs. I will definitely contact Julie again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Literal godsend and a woman of patience. She took on both of my rambunctious boys and handled it with such Grace🥰 and kept me informed the whole time. Not to mention that she took them at last minute and was so kind and so sweet about it. With as much traveling as I do to Tuscon, I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Christina and her husband were absolutely wonderful, multiple photos and updates through the day, lots of walks, and very kind and patient with our 2 year old Rottweiler. We could tell our doggie had a fabulous time. We will definitely use them again!”
“Darlene was great watching our two small dogs for a few days. We know our dogs loved her nice warm home and the backyard area. We appreciated the update mid-way through our trip to know everything was going well. Would take the dogs back anytime. Thanks again!”
“Patricia was an exceptional caregiver to my corgi. We had a good meet and greet and Pat was very prompt with communications as we set up the day/time to drop off and pick up my dog. She sent me photos throughout his stay with her, took him on multiple daily walks, followed his feeding regime and was just wonderful! I would recommend her services to any dog owner with confidence. I will be contacting her in the future whenever I need dog sitting services- she is my go to person for my corgi.”
“Another happy stay for Sequoia with Daniel! She was so happy to go back to Daniel’s for more play time with her friends and snuggles. His home, care and communication are exceptional every single time. Sequoia can’t wait to make herself at home at her favorite home away from home with Daniel.”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our 2 rescue dogs with Taylor and Emma. This was our first time leaving our dogs in the care of anyone and we are really happy with the care they received. We received periodic photos during our dogs stay which was appreciated. Also Taylor and Emma were fantastic communicators during the whole process from start to finish. I highly recommend Taylor and Emma and will hire them again when needed.”

About: I’ve cared for cats for several years and truly enjoy their unique personalities. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving lots of attention so cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m patient, gentle, and respectful of each cat’s individual personality, space, and routine. I’m experienced in reading feline body language and knowing when they want affection, playtime, or simply some quiet space. I always let cats set the pace and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they are my own!
“Marina was great with getting my two cats to warm up to her as they can be shy. She communicated well while I was away and she was open to different ideas to get the cats out of hiding 😅 I highly recommend her and would definitely rebook with her for my future cat sitting needs. Thanks so much!”
“Logan came to visit our kitten twice a day for the week and she absolutely loved him! He sent us updates and made us feel super comfortable! He was communicative, professional and she had the best time with him! Logan treated her with so much care, I couldn’t stress that enough! I’d happily recommend him - you can easily tell it’s his passion to be there for our fur babies.”
“Joseph was by far one of best pet sitters I’ve ever had. He took the time to learn my cats and their many quirks. He was patient, kind and attentive. He gave thorough synopsis and photos of the visits which made being away a little easier. Book him, he’s incredible!”
“Asher took exceptional care of our Rosie, giving us piece of mind while away. We’ve never been away more than a couple days, so we were a little worried about our cat. After meeting Asher, we knew she was perfect as a trusted reliable kind person to check in on our baby (and our house). Highly recommend!”
“Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“Heidi is great with the cat, communicates really well, clarifies and asks questions, and goes above and beyond. I feel comfortable leaving two of the most important things in my life to her when I travel.”
“I cannot put into words how great Travis has been. My dad was in the hospital and Travis took so much extra care with his cat. The cat was independent and a little skittish, but Travis took time and extra effort to make sure she played and got attention during a stressful time. HIGHLY recommend. A true cat lover and kind person.”
“Colby was super kind & responsive, giving our cat all the love and cuddles she needed while we were gone. We really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. Will definitely book again!”
“Alba is truly amazing!! Im new to Tucson and was having trouble finding a cat sitter. She goes above and beyond simply just pet sitting. I swear my apartment was cleaner than how I left it. Additionally, my cat is on daily medication and knowing that someone as caring as Alba was on top of her meds made me feel that more relaxed while I was away. HIGHLY recommend booking Alba for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I am a massive cat lover. I have had cats my entire life and also have taken care of other people’s cats since I was 15. I know what it’s like trusting someone else with your own furry friends so lots of photos, videos, and clear communication will be provided.
About: With three cattle dog pups of my own, I’m no stranger to high energy days, big personalities, and the occasional case of the zoomies! I’ve cared for my dogs for over four years and have even become an honorary godparent to many of my friends’ pets. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Over the years, pet care has become a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to making time for walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day and now have the flexibility in my schedule to do a whole lot more! When I’m caring for your pets in their home, I want them to feel as comfortable and loved as they do with you. This means sticking to their usual routines, getting to know their unique personalities, what they enjoy, and all the companionship they could need. I love to keep everyone updated with lots of photos, videos, and messages through each visit to ensure the best care is being provided.
“Mari was absolutely amazing with my sweet kitty Meli! Her updates were super thoughtful, long, and detailed, and it was clear she took such great care of her - it also made me feel so much better since I missed Mel so much! Meli can be really shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she really came out of her shell with Mari in just 3 days, which says so much!! I felt completely comfortable knowing Meli was in such caring hands. Mari is the best, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! (':”
“Lisa did a great job again! She is very good at communicating, I received updates while on my trip. When I came home, my apartment was very clean and my cat was very happy!”
“Marlee takes such great care of my cat while I’m away. She checks in at each visit and sends sweet pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m really grateful for her care and would happily recommend her!”
“Sara did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! This was our first time having someone watch them while we were away and Sara made us feel so at ease. Our cats loved her and we received daily pictures and updates. Thank you Sara!!!”
About: I worked at a boarding business for cats and dogs and was around many different breeds, sizes, and ages of cats. In this job I had to clean out their litter box, feed them their desired food, and also give medicine to the ones that needed it. I also had to play and cuddle and spend time with each cat during a shift. I have always grown up around cats, my first ever pet was a cat, and I own a cat now as well. I can pick up on their moods fairly quickly and know basic knowledge of cats health.

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!
“I had a meet and greet with Sylvie I was so impressed with her knowledge, confidence, and compassion with dogs. Her house is very homey and warm and inviting environment. He was very comfortable as if he was at home. My dog can't wait to get started. So he had his first daycare and I was very impressed with Sylvie handled his first day. She's brilliant”
“Paloma was very sweet and made me feel at ease,even though I have a 75 lb bloodhound.Her comfort with dogs and herself made me feel confident that I could trust her with my big dog.”

“Ashley is great! Shadow is excited to go and see her everytime and when she comes back home she is already looking forward to the next visit! I recommend Ashely to everyone.”
“Very nice young woman! My Ranger seemed very calm and relaxed in her home when I went to pick him up. He is just a young pup and she was able to manage him. I was really happy with her quick response to my last minute request, it was a life saver! Would recommend!”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our dog to stay while we were in Tucson. Daisy doesn't usually like strangers or other dogs, but Beth and her pack of little dogs were so sweet and patient with her. I would definitely recommend Beth to anyone.”

I have a large fenced yard with enough space to run and play! I'm a work from home graphic designer with flexible hours so I can give lots of TLC to your dog. I work from home full-time with flexible hours, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm...

“Steve was great! He was very attentive to the dogs. It was Shiloh’s first time attending daycare. He got home and was zapped from the walk and playtime with the other dogs. Steve also gave some good recommendations for the future. I also like the pictures I received throughout the visit letting me know how Shiloh was doing. TY.”
“Marley really enjoyed spending the day with Julie and the other pups! He seemed very happy when I picked him up! I felt very comfortable leaving him with Julie, and will definitely be booking with her again in the near future! Thank you so much for loving my baby Julie ♥️”

She showed knowledge of introducing dogs to each other, as her dogs became friends with Katniss right away! We are so appreciative of Allison and Katniss is always looking forward to her next play date with her dogs!”
“Alondra was really awesome with our dog Mackie. She gave Mackie lots of exercise and playtime, played with family and met new friend puppies too. We left Mackie with Elondra on two separate consecutive days, he was always happy and wore out when we picked him up. There's a large secure yard in a very nice neighborhood, we didn't have to worry one bit about leaving our baby with Alondra. We'd give 10 stars if we could.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my care. I have had many years of experience watching and taking care of mine and others dogs. I have watched my family’s and close friends dogs many times throughout the years. I have dog sitted and had multiple doggy sleepovers up to a month before. I have watched dogs as small as Chihuahuas all the way up to German Shepherds. There is no task I can’t handle! (: I can’t wait to meet your baby and becoming their new friend! I am currently unemployed but looking to make pet care my full time job. I have more than enough time available for dog care. I spend most my time with my own dogs and or family members and friends. I have a great back yard where dogs can run around and feel safe. I am pretty minimal when it comes to furniture but do have plenty of room for dogs to lay around. Dogs are free to roam as they please and can freely go outside. I wash all couch covers twice a week, sweep & vacuum everyday, and mop as needed. I am very big on keeping poop picked up and making sure things are regularly cleaned up, like toys or trash that might be out. Bathroom doors stay closed and cleaning supplies are locked up. I do my absolute best to ensure the safety and comfortability for any animal in my care.
“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I am the person that always walks other people's dogs since they don't have the time for it. The well-being of pets, even those I don't own, is always something that I pay close attention to. I have taken care of my pregnant dog twice, helping her deliver and tending to newborn puppies. I have also taken care of sick dogs and dogs who recently had surgery, all of which was very demanding. I also rescued a cat from the street which currently lives with me. Right now I am in between jobs so I'm very free, which is why I'm very flexible and taking care of your pets will be my priority. There might be an occasional weekend once a month where I might be busy but that would the only conflicting issue. The rest of the time I will be very flexible and work with your needs. My home is mostly suitable for cats or small dogs that live indoors. It's a small one bedroom so it doesn't have a lot of space for boarding. For a cat, my house has cat trees, litter box, plenty of toys and everything they might need. I do have a cat, if your pet does good with other pets. I like to keep things clean.
About: I have a lot of experience caring for animals, both personally and professionally.

Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they feel loved and cared for. I am currently an online student at the University of Arizona, so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate early morning care as well, I worked as a barista for a couple of years, so early wake-ups are no problem! Whether you need regular check-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to fit your pet’s needs into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I make sure they feel safe and cared for by following their usual feeding schedules, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and playtime. My goal is to make each pet feel loved and comfortable, just like I would for my own!
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I manage multiple dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments daily. This hands-on role has trained me to expertly read pet body language, prioritize safety, and confidently care for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I also provide dedicated drop-in care for cats, ensuring your feline friends get the precise feeding, litter box maintenance, and attention they need. I am highly comfortable reinforcing training commands, managing leash pullers, and following strict care routines. With my professional background, you can rest assured your dogs and cats will be safe, happy, and well-loved! Even as a college student with a part-time job, I maintain a highly flexible schedule that allows me to easily adapt to your pet's regular routine! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I love structuring my day around making sure your pup gets the attention they deserve. Just let me know what specific timeline works best for your family, and I am happy to coordinate my routine to ensure your pet is fully cared for. Safety is my top priority on every walk. I always stay aware of my surroundings and follow any special instructions from pet owners. I make sure dogs stay in safe areas, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise based on their needs. Trust and comfort are key, so I take the time to make each dog feel at ease while ensuring they have a fun and safe experience.
“My dog is wary of new people and new things, but she took to Thomas right away. Thomas has given her a variety of experiences and activities to spice up her day, and she always comes home happy and ready to relax for a while.”
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats.

I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting.

Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.
About: I have cared for pets for over 20 years. I have cared for animals as big as a horse and as small as mice, and everything in between. I have owned dogs, cats, a rabbit, a ferret, a ball python and rodents. I have owned large dogs like a Rottweiler and Small ones like a chihuahua. I understand each animal has their own personality and needs to be recognized and treated as an individual to ensure their happiness. My animals are like my children and I treat everyone's pet with the same attentive care because you are trusting me with your most important possession. I am attentive to detail and very efficient in communications. Tell me what you need and I will ensure it happens. I have a fingerprint clearance card that can be provided. I work full time but have much flexibility in my scheduling. I am completely open on weekends and early mornings and evenings. If you are looking for daily services Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm like walks, check-ins, clean ups or feedings and reside in 85712 I can schedule this. If you would like check-ins, clean ups, feedings, Monday through Friday after 5:00 pm and All day Saturdays and Sundays, I am available elsewhere. I am also available for boarding and overnights. I have a fenced in back yard with a large natural grass pad. I can board your animal at my home should you need. I am open to specific needs like medication, play, feeds, interactions, grooming and socialization. I provide open continuous communication as you need.

“I couldn’t have asked for better care. I have a very quiet older dog. She was well loved and well cared for. She (they) are well educated in dog nutrition and training. Thanks again Angela and family.”
“Awesome sauce ?! She was the warmest with our four legged friend and she was super tentative our girl. T was great to know we went on vacation for a special treat away, but so did our girl. Thanks Vicky!”
“Really appreciate the care Teddy got. You stepped in last minute, and did a great job. Teddy was calm and happy when I got back. I’d definitely book you again. Thanks a ton!!”
“Gail is wonderful! She watched my little dog for just under a week. He took to her immediately. She had a few other dogs onsite which was great. I highly recommend her :)”
“Gina was attentive, kind, and great energy! I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't be happier with our experience.”
“Julie was fantastic! She took excellent care of Rosie, and sent daily pictures/updates to me while I was away to let me know how she was doing. Julie was very pleasant to work with and it's obvious that she loves dogs. I will definitely contact Julie again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Literal godsend and a woman of patience. She took on both of my rambunctious boys and handled it with such Grace🥰 and kept me informed the whole time. Not to mention that she took them at last minute and was so kind and so sweet about it. With as much traveling as I do to Tuscon, I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Christina and her husband were absolutely wonderful, multiple photos and updates through the day, lots of walks, and very kind and patient with our 2 year old Rottweiler. We could tell our doggie had a fabulous time. We will definitely use them again!”
“Catalina and her family were amazing! Since we did the meet and greet, I felt completely comfortable and Sushi was super excited. Throughout his stay with Catalina, she sent me tons of updates and Sushi looked so happy in every picture. I felt completely happy with his stay and would book them a million times. They are all so kind and I could tell how much they love pets. This was a fantastic experience and I will always recommend them and I thank them for being so great!”
“David was graciously flexible with drop off/pick up time which allowed us to do a late night stargazing program. He also has a great yard that my dogs seemed to thoroughly enjoy. We were very pleased and booked a second day.”
“Cathleen was wonderful to our senior dog, Kira. She gave special attention to her unique needs and kept us updated throughout. Thanks for a great experience watching our girl.”
“Brittani was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable with our choice of picking her. She made sure our dog was well taken care of and went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable/loved. Highly recommend her for watching your furry family!”
“Lesley cared for my pups as if they were her own. One of my pups needs extra attention with daily medications which gave me more anxiety about leaving my pups for 10 days. She felt my anxiety during drop off and insured me he would be in caring hands. She sent updates on how they were doing everyday with pictures/videos. My anxiety was lifted after leaving letting me enjoy my vacation. Lesley will be my go-to sitter from now on.”
“Miriam was so great with my dog, Nova! She sent me lots of pictures every day which made me feel good that Nova was being well taken care of. I could tell Nova had a ton of fun and she didn’t want to leave! I would definitely have Miriam watch my dog again and would recommend her to others.”
“Michelle is AMAZING! She gave Rebel love and care as if her were her own. She sent daily pictures of their walks, and play time. I highly recommend considering Michelle for your pet-sitting needs. She definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Danielle was amazing with our Harley! She’s very organized and easy to communicate with. I felt she treated Harley like she would her own pup as she included in her activities, took her on walks and car rides and provided enrichment activities for her”
“Our cat, Reggie is no picnic. He is old and a bit cranky; he complains a lot and loudly. Julia took care of him for three weeks while we were abroad. We could not have been happier with her care for Reggie. Highly recommend.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Mercedez highly enough! From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry baby in her care. Her passion for dogs is evident, and it was clear that my pup was going to be well-cared for. She took the time to understand my dog's personality, needs, and quirks, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for my pup. She also created a cozy environment at home. It was clear that my dog felt safe and happy, which is the most important thing for any pet parent. When I returned, my dog was healthy, happy, and even a little reluctant to leave. It was a relief knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Mercedez. I will definitely be booking her again for future trips! Thank you, Mercedez, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family member! 🐾❤️”
“This was our Lab’s second stay. She thoroughly enjoys being around John, Water and their pup, Poppy. They always her much love, playtime and attention so she’s gotten a bit better about staying overnight. Poppy and my dog have become good buddies so I know she is very comfortable in their home. Our lab did have an accident while playing ball with another dog in the extended concrete patio area in the backyard. While jumping up to catch the ball, she bumped into the other dog and ended up pulling a ligament in her hind leg (had Vet check her the following day). Water promptly called me to inform me she was limping and explained what had happened. I sincerely appreciated her concern and so relieved it wasn’t something much worse. Water always kept us informed throughout our dog’s weekend stay with texts and pictures. Hoping down the road that Water and John can make a play area that is conducive for running and catching balls with a soft surface so we can bring our dog back. I know she really likes being with them! As a very active lab who loves playing and chasing balls, she always gets playtime from Water and John. Thank you Water and John, you guys are such gems.”
