Doggie Dream Stay in Mesquite Hills

Pet care experience

My family and I have served as a foster home for many dogs, puppies and kittens from Second Chance Rescue and Hop-A-Long Rescue for over 17 years. We have also had many of our own pets including three dogs we adopted as puppies. We care for friend's pets and they call our home the "ultimate dog getaway."

Alma took great care of our dog while we we sightseeing in the area. She took him on two walks, which he loves, and chilled at her house. He was happy upon our return and clearly enjoyed Alma because he wanted some loves and snuggles with her before we left her home.

Bear loves his stays with Alma! He always comes homes happy and tired from all his fun activities. So grateful to have someone that gives Bear so much love and attention.

Alma was great at communicating. She took our pup for a walk and had rest time too. We only received one picture during the stay and no report card. But we feel he was in good hands.

Alma was the perfect dog sitter. She was very communicative, send daily updates and pictures. Nala had a yard to play and run around. She went on multiple daily hikes. Highly recommend her.

Information Alma R. would like to know about your pet

We welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes with good manners- friendly with humans and other dogs and without bad habits like excessive barking or destructive behavior like digging. Your pet must be crate trained or be able to sleep on its on a dog bed in our den. We have a lot of experience with puppies and love these little guys as well.

A typical day

Wake up, tea and coffee for humans, breakfast, hugs and visiting with your dog. Here are some of the places we will take our walks, all tailored to the appropriate exercise level of our visitor. We have sidewalks, streets and short trails in our neighborhood, including a very large grassy park. In additional we have hiking trails in the national forest close by. We have room to play in the yard as well. Hanging out throughout the day inside and out. Your dog's sleeping arrangement will vary based on your dog's needs. Most visitors will sleep in the main living area of our home. We'd like you to bring their bed and/or crate. Your dog will be fed according to your instructions for all meals and treating. Since we are retired, your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We treat visitors like family members including chilling out together at night watching movies, listening to music or playing games. Then a treat and off to bed.
