Availability

Weather permitting and with your approval, we will include your dog(s) in our daily walks in our neighborhood and excursions to local parks. However we do not allow our dog and your dog(s) in "dog parks" and do not allow them to have exposure to other dogs on our walks. Since we are retired, we will also give lots of cuddles and play in between outings, to keep them engaged. We have a dog toy box full of toys for them to play with, if they want. Just click on our profile pictures to see our "Doggie Hall of Fame" photos which show our care of our clients' dogs.

Information Bob & Vicky M. would like to know about your pet

We request that your pet(s) be up to date on vaccinations. Please provide us with instructions on your feeding routines, medications, allergies, and any special needs or health concerns, current or past. We require a Meet & Greet before the first stay to ensure the fit is good for everyone. At that time, we can discuss any further questions that may come up.

A typical day

Your dog(s) can play and run around in our large and secure backyard for their own pleasure and relief needs. We also love taking them on daily walks around the neighborhood, as well as taking them to nearby parks (but not "dog parks"), weather permitting and with your permission. We have an abundance of toys available for self and interactive play. We love to play tug, catch, fetch, etc. with them, based on your dog(s)’ interests and ability. We love taking pictures to catch them doing the things they enjoy, which we will share with you on a daily basis, as well as keeping you informed of their wellbeing.

Always home and BIG fenced yard

Pet care experience

My wife and I love dogs and are excited to have the opportunity to care for your small to medium breed non-aggressive dog(s) under 35 lbs. (Please be advised that our experience has shown that the high energy cattle /sheep dogs, shepherds, etc., are generally not a good fit for us). We both have had dogs all of our lives. We have the experience of caring for dogs through their feeding, grooming, exercising, bathing, and of course lots of loving through their senior years. We are both retired, so your dog(s) will have lots of loving attention and care throughout its/their stay. We have a doggie door so your dog(s) can have free access to our large fenced backyard. We accept only one client at a time and up to three dogs IF they are from the same client, so we can give your dog(s) our undivided attention and love. We have one dog, Jax (Cavalier King Charles). He is very loving, playful, and unaggressive.

Vicky & Bob provided wonderful care for our two dogs while we took a vacation. Their home is so inviting and comfortable. We were also provided with frequent reassuring updates with photos & videos included. I highly recommend them for their attention to detail and their loving care.

Pups had a good time and looked loved in all the photos and videos. Communication was excellent and plentiful so could feel really good about being away. Would recommend and use again.
