Pet care experience

I am a Police K9 handler with a history of caring for and training dogs. My wife and I love dogs and have had dogs our whole life. We currently have 2 dogs of our of own. My police dog Ficko is a german short haired pointer, he goes to work with me everyday and specializes in bomb sniffing. Our personal dog Jayden is a dutch shephard, he is a smart yet spoiled little guy. He has been getting along great with the pups that have been coming to stay. We strive to provide an environment where your pup feels at home and comfortable. We have dogs bed throughout our house, we also have gates that can provide your pup with their own private space if they like to have some quiet time. We give ALL pups their own time and attention, my wife works from home and loves to play and cuddle the pups while they are here. She will take them outside to play and walk them around our property. We do not have a fenced area but we are on an acre and a half of and can provide a great amount of exercise. She does most of the work and care of the dogs and sends pictures of your pups to document their time here and to also ease your mind while you are enjoying vacation. Please take a look at our reviews or call us to set up a meet and greet. We look forward to caring for your pet family as our own. My wife Christina has the great ability to work from home Full time and is able to care for your pups all day. I am off on Friday and Saturday and take take care of the pups on the weekend and sometimes do a little training for the puppies. Although we do not have a fenced in yard, we are able to provide the most playtime and walks outside. If your dog prefers to be in a crate we can also provide that in an area that is their own space. Our 2 pups are also dog friendly and can be great companions to make your pup feel comfortable.

Alex and Christina are amazing and we are deeply grateful to them. No one else has watched our sassy senior dog for many years now -- she is exclusive and only stays with the best of the best :). They have taken wonderful care of her from her wild youthful years to her current mature state. Christina and Alex are both very competent, observant, and careful with dogs. They are also very responsive. Our dog is clean, safe, and comfortable there. We can't thank them enough.

Alex and Christina did great with my Doberman puppy. He can be very high energy and very needy, but they handled him very well and even cuddled with him. My puppy came home tired and happy so I know he had a good time. They also sent me pictures and were very quick with their responses! It was clear that he had a great time with them. I will definitely be leaving him with them in the future!

Our little nervous dog stayed with them for the fourth time now, and had a lovely time. He loves them, and we could see the great care Alex and Christina took through frequent text updates. We trust them with our dog the most!!
