Pet care experience
We consider our guest dogs members of the family. Dogs are always supervised in our fenced and secure back yard, and in the home as well. We walk our guests with our dogs Zachary and Bailey every day, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and we specialize in supervised pack therapy and socialization. Zachary sleeps in his crate in our bedroom and so do many of our guests. If guest dogs are not crate trained we can work on that or provide a private sleeping room for this purpose. For puppies less than one year old we charge $45 per day. With puppies the training is continuous including sit, stay, recall, leash walking, house training, door manners, etc. We provide the training treats, poop bags, and TLC. We do not accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered except for puppies. Please contact us to discuss your dog's special needs. Our typical care day is 24 hours and we tend to not enforce this too strictly. However, if your schedule requires an early drop off and/or a late pickup resulting in an extra 6 to 8 hours of care, we may charge $25 for the additional time.* * Apparently, there is still some confusion about the hours of care covered by a one day charge. If for example a client drops a dog at 8AM on a Saturday for a one day stay, and does not return to pick up the dog until 4PM on Sunday, clearly this is more than a one day stay. And clearly we should be compensated for loving and caring for this dog for the additional 8 hours. We do not time our guest stays with a stopwatch, but if your dog's stay will be more than 24 hours, then please plan for an additional charge and work this out with us in advance so that we can be compensated fairly for our care of your dog.
Reviews
Madeleine and Charlie are wonderful! They took such good care of my puppy Harold! Madeleine kept me updated on his stay through videos and pictures and allowed us to enjoy our family wedding weekend without a worry for our new baby! Very grateful for these precious people
This was the first time I had left Champ (my golden doodle) in away-from-home care and I can’t speak highly enough of the care and love provided to him my Madeleine and Charlie. They sent photos and videos often, which were not only comforting to me but told me what a great time he was having! They treated him as a member of their family!
Madeline and Charlie were excellent!!!! Sent pictures every day and videos. I knew Bella was happy and secure!! That means everything to us concerning our fur babies!! We will use them again for sure!!!
Charlie and Madeleine took such great care of our little Diggy! She sent pics and videos every day and gave us updates on how he was doing- this helped ease our mind since it was the first time he’s been away from us. They even worked on some commands with him and he’s already doing much better with them! I would absolutely recommend them if you need a trainer or sitter- I will be booking with them again when we’re back in San Antonio!

Of course our guests must have the normal vacinations required by any boarding facility. We ask for a copy of the last vet visit showing all vaccinations are up to date. We also require our guest dogs to be on a flee and tick medication for the duration of their stay. Here in South Texas heart worm prevention is important. If your dog is not on a heart worm prevention program, we suggest you check with your vet to discuss the best option.
