Loving care for your pup

Pet care experience

We love dogs and have always own two or three at a time. We recently adopted an 18-month old male golden retriever after we lost our 12 year old female golden. Our new pup and our 9 year-old dachshund girl love to host guest doggies for overnights or just a playdate.

My dogs had a great time! They have a nice home set up for dogs and they were very responsive throughout the whole process. Alicia and James even sent pictures and videos of the dogs while we were away. I highly recommend and will be using them again in the future, I think the dogs will be excited to return.

Alicia and James were wonderful! Their fenced backyard and deck are beautiful and is a great place for dogs. Our dog had 2 unexpected tooth extractions a few days before being boarded and they were very understanding. They provided excellent care and I would definitely use them again and recommend them to other dog owners!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and preferences regarding feeding and bed time. We can crate your dog if you prefer that we do that, but in general, they will be free around the house.

A typical day

We let the dogs out in the backyard in the morning and then feed them breakfast. They play outside and nap. In the late afternoon we go for a walk around the neighborhood trails and/or play outside in the backyard which is fenced and partially wooded, with many interesting areas to sniff around. We snuggle on the couch after dinner to watch some tv before bedtime.
