Not a lonely day, small dog oasis💗

Pet care experience

As a stay at home and home school mom there is usually always someone home to love and play with our (your) animals. We have two daughters (17 & 15) and one son (10). *I’ve recently updated this profile to include the following: As an owner to two small dogs myself, I understand the worry and anxiety of leaving my small, fragile, pup, in the care of others who may have larger dogs coming and going where an accident can happen. I don’t like to take chances with one of my own, or one of yours getting hurt. Even by accident. I’ve recently updated my profile to only accept dogs up to a certain pound. This will help with my profile score, for the many dogs I’ve had to turn down. However, if you are a prior client, I will accept your larger dog (they’ve all been wonderful and fine because of my judgement at meet and greet) and in addition any future clients who have a small dog/big dog combo, I will consider a meet and greet to verify we would be a good fit and will make exceptions on a case by case. I will not be sitting for more than one family at a time. I’d like to advertise our service as a small dog oasis. We have tons of toys, treats, dogs beds, and love to offer to spoil and keep your little ones happy and safe. I know the peace and ease of mind I offer will stand out. I send pictures, and/or videos, daily, unless you ask me not to. I will also FaceTime you with your pet, upon request. * We have a 5 year old, 10lb Maltipoo, who acts more like an indoor cat, (sleeps a lot) and follows me everywhere, a 9 month old, 7lb, Malshi (Maltese Shitzu), who is a baby and wants to play with her toys all the time. We also have a 4 year old yellow lab, Sam, who acts like a lab. Aren’t they all full of energy? Sam likes to stay outside and loves his job as a guardian dog to our miniature goats. He comes in for freezing temperatures, over night to sleep, or heat advisories only. He’d rather be outside. All three get along with ALL animals, strays, neighbor’s yorkies’, neighbors dogs, etc. We have two acres of yard with a fenced in area that has a dog house, goat house, tree house, etc. which is where he stays. We are an animal loving family. No young kids that harm or hurt in any way. Your pets are guaranteed a “spoiled rotten” experience for sure.

We had a wonderful experience with Amber for our first time ever leaving our dogs to to attended to by someone other than family. She provided up with updates on her visit and pictures/videos daily. One of our dogs is slower to make new friends, and it was so sweet to see the progress he made during the week becoming friendly with Amber. Seeing my dogs were in such great hands definitely put my mind and heart at ease while we were gone. We will definitely look to use Amber again in the future when needed!

Amber and Charles were absolutely amazing!! My aunt and I both used them for the week and had never left our dogs with anyone except family before. Amber and Charles treated them like family with lots of love, attention, and affection from them and their children. I will absolutely be booking with them again for any future needs and I know our pups will be safe and have a great time! Thank you again for everything. We are excited to book with you again in August!

Amber, Charles, and their children took amazing care of my fur baby Jax and my niece's fur baby Gizmo. We both had never left them with anybody but family before, but they put our minds at ease during the meet and greet. They treated our pups like family for the week and we couldn't be more grateful! They gave them so much love and attention, and sent us many photos and videos throughout the week. We will absolutely use them again when needed, and in fact we have another weekend booked for my nephew's wedding in August. Thank you so much Amber and Charles!

Amber and her family loved on my three babies while I was away. She kept me up to date on how they were doing and definitely went the extra mile to ensure they were well taken care of. I plan to use her again on my next getaway.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust & environment- I am highly protective over the dogs well being. Safety and emotionally. We use leashes when walking/running your dog and to let them out to use the bathroom. Dogs are fed at separate locations to ensure no jealousy and fights. Not to mention stolen food and a hungry pup. The dogs we sit for sleep in the master bedroom. We sleep with the door shut. This is to ensure we can always have eyes and ears on your pup. No accidents or trouble to get into. They seem to like having the constant company around them, even if we are asleep, they know they’re not alone.

Information Amber & Charles V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the temperament of each animal before accepting request. This includes temperament with other animals and temperament with children/strangers. Are they crate trained? If not this is not a deal breaker. They don’t have to be but if they are not house trained yet a cage will be needed to help me. This is especially for over night. How/Where does your pet prefer to sleep (crate, dog bed, floor)? Does your pet chew or claw things? (Furniture, floors, walls) Is your pet current on rabies and vaccination records? I would like to see copies.

A typical day

We live in the country. We have 2 acres of land to walk around. Our super playful yellow lab stays outside, inside the large goat pen. He stays busy keeping watch of the neighborhood and alarming us of visitors, while also guarding (or so he thinks) our miniature goats (all tame and loving females and none with horns). He loves having a “job” to do. Our super lazy but playful when she feels like it Maltipoo, Molly, stays inside. She’s obsessed with her mom. Molly is afraid of the dark. Hates to go out in the rain. Hates to get her feet wet. Knows lots of words, sit, lay down, dance, walk (on 2 legs), up, down, eat, water, pee-pee, outside, treat, and I’m starting to think she understands English just as much as I do. Super smart! Ella is the baby, has to be chewing on a toy, loves to play. When not playing, Ella is also super calm and lays around. Our three kids love animals and love playing with them. They are more than helpful and spoil each animal as of it were their own.

Schedule We are home most of the time. We let the pups run around and play inside. We prefer inside dogs over outside dogs, but will take the dogs outside many, many times to walk, run, and play. Just I inform us of their home habits of how often they like to go out.
