Dogs are people too!
Pet care experience
Mark had a dog as young as he can remember and I've always had a variety of pets, graduating to a dog in high school. We have experience in multiple breeds and ages, indoor dogs, outdoor farm dogs, reuniting lost dogs with owners. Pets become like one of the family and we enjoy caring for them as much. Mark works from home and I'm home by 3:15 so there's plenty of time for walks. We have a modest backyard and enjoy hiking and exploring on the weekends so there are lots of opportunities to get out into the sunshine with a fur buddy. We have one doggy at home now, Daphne. She is a 10 year old corgi mix and is pretty mellow. She loves her walks and isn't possessive of toys. We all look forward to the opportunity to care for a new friend.
Reviews
Thank you for your TLC during Moxie's first stay away from home!
Audra & Mark are so great! They take such good care of our pup and are great at sharing updates!
Audra, Mark & Daphnie (their sweet dog) were great! Our dog Charlie spent a week in their home while we were out of town. Their home was clean and they were clearly loving dog owners themselves so we felt comfortable leaving Charlie in their hands. They made Charlie part of their family while he was with them, spending time playing with him, taking him on walks, and giving him all the human affection he craves. He clearly enjoyed his vacation as much as we did ours! Will definitely go to them first when boarding Charlie again.
Audra & Mark were very prompt to respond to all my questions, they were able to accommodate my dog very quickly when I needed last minute help, he was in very good hands! Thank you so much for helping with Simba! :)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard and pets are free to explore the house. We like the furniture to be animal free and have an extra dog bed for sleepovers. We have only one permanent dog resident and only want to host dogs from one pet parent at a time so your dog will get personal time and attention.
Home
Information Audra & Mark G. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have food allergies? We give our doggie lots of treats so I want to be sure that's OK to share. Is your dog good in the car? We sometimes drive to the beach/ hiking locations.
A typical day
We live in a nice neighborhood where everyone walks their dogs in the evening. It's about a mile round trip and your dog is welcome to join every evening too. There's also a big fence dog run that we try to get to regularly. We also take longer walks a few times a week, along a path that follows behind the neighborhood(it's paved so no stickers). There's enough room in the backyard if your dog likes to fetch a ball and plenty of space in the living room to play with toys.
Services

Availability
Mark works from home and can oversee breakfast and potty breaks and I'm home in the early afternoon for walks. We regularly explore on weekends and will go for 3 to 5 miles. We always pack extra water and a travel dish!
