Hi! We're back! We're currently not boarding in our home but we're excited to meet, care for, and walk your furry friends. 🧡 ps: our kids aren't littles anymore! they're currently 15 & 17. the 17YO in particular chips in with dog walks and housesitting. an adult is *always* present overnight. 🐾 ****** For us, taking care of dogs is a family affair. Our family is Shannon (grown-up), Carole (grown-up), Mairin (high school) and Eamon (high school). Our OG pooch, Ivy, is 10 and our newbie, Bacon, is 1. Dogs have been part of our family for more than 20 years. Dogs at our house get plenty of snuggles, lots of outdoor time, and yummy treats when working on new commands and skills. We learned to care for (and train) dogs from The Monks of New Skete and Patricia McConnell. We know from experience that happy dogs are well-loved, are kept busy with breed-specific jobs, and have a safe and consistent environment. We're not currently boarding, but we can absolutely dog-sit at your house! A bit about us: Ivy is a super-chill, ten-year old medium-size rescue. Her back-end wiggles like a boxer but she's lean like a whippet and and has the deep chest of some hounds. She has good manners and is a good friend to our visitors. Bacon is...well, the DNA tests say he's part pitty part Great Pyrenees. He is a super lovable dope. He's very active and loves to soothe himself by napping on top of a human. For a while we cared for the class bearded dragon, too. We loved her, and were sad when it was time for her to go hang out back with the kids at school. These days Carole works from home and Shannon is an RN; our kids get home from school around 4:00, so there's plenty of time for play and attention. If we house-sit, we can either drop in on your pet's schedule or an adult can spend the night. (Whether a kid sleeps over is mostly up to you and the animals.) If we walk your dogs, an adult is available during the day. Late afternoons, evenings, and weekends, your dog will be walked by an adult and -- if your dog likes it -- a kid. Even though our kids will be active helpers with your pet, an adult will always supervise. We know who's alpha! We can't wait to meet your pooch!
