Happy to help with your best frien!

My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.

Bob and his son Bobby were the best! Completely reliable and capable. My dog, that I have trouble managing, was easily handled them. I am very impressed with the quality of this service and they are first on my list for the next time.

Zadie had a great visit with Bob and his family! Great communication, flexible pickup and dropoff, and was clearly very caring. Thanks so much!

Riley loved staying with Bob’s family! I was in Switzerland on vacation and I knew she was being loved and cared for the entire almost 2 weeks I was gone. My flight got delayed and Bob was flexible with pick-up, and I was so happy to receive photos and updates of my girl being so happy and loved like their own. I missed my girl, but this sure made it easier. I will definitely be calling Bob and his family again.

Bob is the gold standard for pet owners; he and his family care for their pets and it is obvious that Bob cares for his pets and values them as members of his famiyl! He would be an invaluable asset to anyone who is seeking pet care; he has nothing but my highest recommendation.

I'd like to know of any safety concerns, such as snapping/biting, resource(food/water/toy) guarding, any preferences that the pet has, or things to steer away from. Basically, whatever you feel will benefit your dog most in their time here, and will make my ability to provide that optimal experience for them.
