Country boy in the city

Pet care experience

I grew up in rural Sonoma County, CA, taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, horses, pheasants, pigeons, rabbits, fish and frogs. I love animals but don’t have any of my own. Our kids are 9 and 6 and love animals.

Simba and Maya had a lovely time in their home, being pampered by their entire family. Thanks for sharing the pics and videos of them in bliss! Will definitely book with them again

We couldn’t imagine a sweeter family to take care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we returned. The arrangement worked out perfectly.

It’s great to know as much as possible about your dog and his or her preferences. Don’t be shy! The more we know the better the experience. Thanks!

A typical day

We will start out with a walk to Fort Reno where there are acres and acres to run and play. We will play fetch, sniff the daily news along the way, and take care of business. Then we’ll go home for some snuggles and chow with the family and walk the kids to school. Then it’s back home for a nap before mid day walkies. Another walk to pick up the kids after school and a good romp in the park before dinner and snuggles, some brushing and good petting before bedtime.
