Home away from home!

Pet care experience

I’ve had my own pets my whole life and always cared for the neighbors when they were on vacation. My husband Andy has had pets his entire life and is very skilled at training any thing from a dog to a rabbit! He loves taking pups for runs as well! we currently have two of our own dogs and a cat who thinks he's a dog. I’m currently a “homemaker”/artist so I’m home all day with the animals, we live very close to the dog park so if I’m not home, one of the little monsters and I are getting some play time in. Andy is finishing a biology degree but still around alot thanks to online classes Our privacy fenced yard is perfectly dog proofed and filled with toys, dogs are always welcome in bed, couches, chairs. We never crate (unless it's their training you request) and sometimes pups get specially home made all meat treats! If allowed of course. I am almost always home and every pet is treated like family. Most regular clients call us aunt Ali and uncle andy!

Basil seemed to have a great time here and the communication with Alexandra was good. There was a lot of overeating as there was food all over the floor, so I assume she ate whatever she saw (she’s a puppy and knows no control) and my dog left with severe stomach issues.

Thank you guys for always being willing to take Brodie in even with my last minute decisions you are very flexible with times to pick up and dropp off. He enjoys his time there I can tell because he is always super tired when he gets home and sleeps for about 2-3 days on and off. I’m always update with pictures and silly things my pup normally love to do at home. So, I know he feels safe and like he’s at home. Thank you!!
