A Fenced in Yard with Loving Owners

My wife and I are lifelong dog owners who currently have 2 dogs of our own that we love and spoil almost as much as our four year old son and two year old daughter. We have a huge fenced in backyard for dogs of any size and temperament to run around play in. The fence is a 6 foot tall privacy fence and is easily the best investment we’ve made to date as dog owners. I maintain the grass myself and spray tick repellent to keep our pets safe. We live in a nice quiet neighborhood and get along with our neighbors very well. Either me or my wife are always at home as we work different shifts so the dogs will never be alone. We have a chihuahua mix and a beagle/dachshund mix who get along very well. We just love dogs and you will not be disappointed by the love and care they will receive while you’re gone. I currently work from home, so will be home all day and night to play with your pup! We also have two dogs and two kids who love to play with other pups as well. We have huge fenced in yard, so they will be able to run around like crazy. We also have two dogs of our own to run around with.

Carl and Mara were beyond fabulous, considering they took on Bear on such short notice. They knew we were a little anxious about leaving our baby girl, Bear, so they left us pictures and communications on a fairly frequent basis. Bear was WELL TAKEN CARE OF by Carl and Mara. They loved her like one of their own and my husband and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from them. Wonderful, kind, animal loving folks!!!

Best sitters around. Jessie is always cared for as if she was one of their own.

This was my 7 month old puppy's first experience going to someone else's house without our family. Carl was very patient with her and reassuring to me regarding my own nerves. My dog was happy as could be when I picked her up and slept well that night. We will definitely be back.

I would need to know their temperament. Are they good with other dogs and babies? We won’t be able to take aggressive dogs as we have a son under 1 year and can’t take the risk.
