Throwback Thursday 🐾 Because apparently my camera roll has been hoarding evidence of the chaos. 😂

Enjoy this week’s trip through the evidence locker. 😂👇

POV: Your parents drop you off at the babysitter’s and you realize it’s THAT babysitter. 😂🐾

No staging, no treats, no prompting — Pebbles had literally just been dropped off and this was her actual reaction to being back. ❤️

Pretty sure she just left me a five-star review without saying a word. 😂⭐️

☀️ Pool Day Forecast ☀️

🐾 100% chance of zoomies.
💦 Occasional lifeguard duties.
🛋️ Some dogs come for the pool. Some come for the couch. Some come just to boss everyone around. 😂
❤️ Either way, every pup gets treated like family, spoiled a little too much, and goes home tired, happy, and loved.

Just another day at Doggone It – Paws & Play. 🩵🐾

This might be the most accurate thing I’ve seen all week. 🐾

They’ll love you with their whole heart, follow you everywhere, and protect you with everything they’ve got…

But ask them to drop the tennis ball?

Every dog ever: “I heard you… I just don’t respect your opinion.” 🤣🎾😈🤍

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, it’s because the dogs and yes, the cats have been keeping me busy. 🐶🐱💕
Add in a fish, a desert tortoise, and suddenly I’m one goat away from opening a petting zoo. 😂

We’ve actually been booked up for the last four months, and between belly rubs, backyard adventures, couch cuddles, and photo updates, social media has taken a bit of a back seat.

Sometimes the best reviews aren’t reviews at all. They’re notes and messages from pet parents who trust me with their babies.

Just wanted to share a couple messages that absolutely made my day and remind me why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me with your pets, it means more than you know. ❤️🐾

POV: You run a dog boarding business and can no longer travel from one room to another without an es**rt.

Polly is camera shy.
Toby can’t be trusted with real estate.
The rest have appointed themselves my security detail and insist on accompanying me everywhere.

At this point, I don’t run a dog boarding business. I travel with a staff.

Productivity has been postponed due to circumstances beyond my control.

Currently pinned down by one sleeping dog while the other three are finishing breakfast. The two cats are expected to report for nap duty shortly.

At this point, getting out of bed would require approval from multiple species.

Welcome to Doggone It – Paws & Play, where:
• Jax is aggressively trying to make friends
• Kobe has filed a restraining order against Jax
• Polly has claimed emotional support blanket status
• Toby disappeared somewhere in the bed like a tiny Victorian child with the plague

And somehow I’m just over here trying to survive with 47 pounds of dogs, fur, side-eyes, and zero personal space.

Honestly though… this is my favorite kind of chaos 🖤🐾
