Pet care experience
My wife and I have fostered many dogs from our local no-kill shelter (DAWG) as well as from someone who specializes in herding dog rescue. We also sit regularly for the dogs of our friends and co-workers. We do not have a dog of our own. I am recently retired and have my days free for walks and hiking local trails. We live near a beach and a park that both allow off-leash dogs (if so desired.) We have a reasonably large fenced-in yard that will contain all but the most agile of jumpers. Your dog will be treated with as much love, care and respect as if he or she belonged to us. We will do everything we can to make sure your dog has a joyful stay with us.
Reviews
Bill and Tara did a fantastic job watching our older dog! Their experience taking care of dogs helped, and no request was too much for them. They were very attentive and really took great care of our dog. I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing he was with them. Can’t say enough good things about them, they are really great. Would definitely use them again!
My pup had a wonderful time staying with Bill & Tara for a long weekend! They took him on long walks and loved him well. Thanks for such a great stay!
Awesome as ever, this is the second stay ann m d another great time!
Bill and Tara were great. Oliver clearly had a wonderful time taking walks, going to the dog park and hanging out in the back yard. We certainly recommend them.

Information Bill & Tara R. would like to know about your pet
We would like to know about how the dog relates to other dogs and strangers, any special needs or behavior, food preferences/allergies, where it likes to sleep, and what the chances are that it can leap a 4.5 foot high fence (though the vast majority of our fence is 5 feet high.) We have no breed preferences.
A typical day
We might walk to a local dog-friendly coffee shop in the morning and then hike a trail, go for a run or head to the off-leash dog park or beach in the afternoon. If desired we can do this in a group with the socialized dogs of our friends.
