Good Dog Dude

Pet care experience

I have had Dogs most of my life. My wife and I have 3 now. Smalls, Indy, and Sadie. They get along with all other Dogs and are a big hit at the Dog park. I have never met a Dog I didn't love. Before I retired from the car business, customers would bring thier Dogs in just to see me (I had cookies)! I am very adept at all aspects of caring for Dogs. I am great will puppies all the way up to seniors. I have cared for my own seniors that I have had in the past, and have fostered Dogs also.

We were extremely lucky to have found Chris & Laura on Rover. They took care of our Laborador and treated him like he was king of the house. We received lots of pictures and updates which made us extremely happy and able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely have Chris & Laura watch our baby again!

I couldn’t ask for a better couple to take care of Benny! They treated him like they were one of their own! Will definitely continue to book with them

My dog had a great time and was well taken care of. Consistent updates was very nice as well.

Again, we own 2 very nice homes in Port Charlotte, one is an Airbnb that, of not rented offers a boarding experience without our Dogs if yours don't get along with other Dogs? Are yours swimmers? Our Airbnb has a pool along with the gigantic fenced yard. Our 3 Doggos LOVE all other Dogs (and people), one of which is a Livestock Guardian breed. Smalls is his name, and he is instinctively protective. Smalls, Indy, and Sadie would love to take care of your precious fur kids!

Information Chris & Laura G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your Doogo(s) have any special needs, feeding instructions, medications, special treats, toys, etcetera. Also let me know about any fearful situations your Doggo might have.

A typical day

Walkies 1st thing in the morning, then breakfast at 8am followed by a romp in the yard. Sadie LOVES to play ball, so I am an expert ball thrower. Then it's usually nap time until noon, but the Doggos can go out in the yard whenever they wish (we are very careful about heat stroke). Then dinner about 6, followed by (you guessed it) WALKIES! Then yard time again, or if it's OK with you, we LOVE to go to the Dog park! We

I am semi retired (I operate an Airbnb), my wife is self employed and works from home so one of us will always be there. Your precious Doggos will be my focus while you are away. If caring for your Dogs at your home, I will treat your home like gold. I can even help with airport drop off and pick up (additional fee based upon driving distance). If our Airbnb isn't rented, I can care for your Dogs at that home, it has a HUGE yard! The yard at our residence is pretty good size too! Errand running or other services you might need are also possible.
