Information Carl W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's dietary & feeding preferences, routine/schedule, what makes them happy & of course any funny habits or quirks to be aware of! Thank you!

A typical day

I have a good-sized yard and garden, and there are plenty of trails and parks nearby for walks. I love keeping dogs active with ball games, chuck-it, and more — but if your dog is older or prefers a slower pace, we're equally happy to have a relaxed, cozy day at home!

Pet care experience

I have been hosting through Rover since 2018. I have over 200 5* reviews from many happy clients. Please read my profile notes before making a boarding request. A Meet and Greet with you and your dog is required before every booking. This is non-negotiable, as it ensures the best experience for everyone. Notes: **Larger dogs (over 30 lbs) are an additional $10 per day. **Pickup/Dropoff times: 9.30am-5.30pm, by appointment. **I don't take German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Pit mixes or unneutered dogs. I also do not take dogs with bathroom issues, or dogs that need diapers or pee pads. But most dogs are just fine! I look forward to hearing from you - Thank you!

Remi has a fantastic time with Carl. She was excited to see him at drop off. She loved playing ball and hanging out with him. He sent photos and updates several times during her week long stay. Claire & Sinjin

Carl did an excellent job watching our chocolate lab Charley for 10 days. He sent regular photos. Charley seemed happy
