Prices include all fees.

Anthony can care for

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

Because I have 3 dogs of my own (teenager,adult,senior) I have a pretty regular routine everyday of various activities with them individually and as a pack. Thursday through Sunday the flexibility of my open availability allows me to take on additional dogs on a part-time basis. Working with dogs will hopefully keep me from growing my pack anymore...fur now😉.

Safety, trust & environment

My pups have individual crates, and beds to relax in the house. Big back yard, unfortunately unfenced, but there is a tether run and tie outs to use as needed. Dogs are never in the yard unsupervised. I transport them in a Chevy Suburban to other fun places around the Tahoe/Truckee area. Everyday is filled with multiple adventures, meal times in the early AM and late evening after a long walk. Individual needs or "rules" for your fur baby are completely respected, "it's your pup, it's your call".

Information Anthony S. would like to know about your pet

If your pup is in need of special attention please let me know. We will start every visit one on one, but I would like to eventually include your dog with my pack in as many activties as possible,ie pack walks, lake/river trips, pack runs with MTB, etc

A typical day

A big yard to play in. The yard backs up to the CXS trails from Granlibakken to Paige Meadows. We make that a destination almost daily. On hot days I take the dogs to the Truckee River to play in the late morning/early afternoon. In the evening after human and boat traffic and diminished we go to a sandy shoreline along Lake Tahoe to swim and play. A few times a month we spend the day in Blackwood Canyon, it's a pupper paradise anytime of year (depending on size and breed, lol)

Pet care experience

With nearly a lifetime of experience raising and training dogs, primarily hunting/sport breeds, I have been exposed to various handling styles and training techniques that have lead me to focusing on Free-Shaping my personal pack of dogs for the past 13 years.

Our high energy pup had a blast with Anthony and was tired for hours after!! Would happily use him again.

Anthony did an excellent job walking our two dogs! He was on time and even got our shy little one to come to him. Thank you Anthony for taking such great care of our pups!
