Quality Care from a Quality Family
Pet care experience
We have an 3 year old German Shorthaired Pointer named Merle and a 6-year-old cat named Sebastian, and 1 year old cat named June. We also have 6 Chickens. We both have had dogs and cats our whole life growing up and are very comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. My wife is an LVT and works with dogs and cats daily. We have the capabilities to administer any medication and care needed. Our puppy loves to play with puppy friends if your puppy loves to play too (if not that is okay we have the ability to separate the downstairs and upstairs to keep them apart). We would love to help you out by caring for your pets when you are away because we know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable with.
Reviews
Took good care of my dog while we were on vacation.
Autumn stayed with Chris and his wife for three days while we were out of town. She loved the freedom of the fenced back yard. We will book again.
Chris and Carmen were very accommodating hosts! And I love how knowledgeable they are about dog behavior. This was Oskar's first time away from home without us, so he was a bit unsure and nervous. They were patient with him and made sure he was comfortable and happy. I was probably more nervous than Oskar, but the pictures and video they sent while he was there really helped assuage my anxiety! He had lots of exercise (they have a great backyard) and attention. I highly recommend Chris for boarding!
Chris and his wife were very welcoming to our dog. They were very responsive with messages and pictures. I will definitely book them again when we need boarding.

Safety, trust & environment
Your animals will have plenty of room to run and play. We have a two-story house, with a large open area in the basement for your animals to play if it's a rainy day. We also have about a big yard where we will play with your animals, and live on a quiet street with room to take long walks.
Home
Information Chris M. would like to know about your pet
Is your pet house trained (it is not a guaranteed deal breaker if he isnt, but will just require extra attention)? Does your pet get along with other dogs, or will he need to be separated in their own area? Is your pet aggressive towards humans and people they do not know? Does your pet have any special nutritional needs, or needs to take any medication? Is your pet fully up to date on their current vaccinations?
A typical day
This really depends on the owner and the dog and I can accommodate the different needs. At the primary residence, we have plenty of room to play both in the yard and the basement. We also live in a culdesac which provides a perfect area for a 1-mile walk/loop. If your pet likes other pet company we have a puppy who loves to play. We also love hiking in close local spots, so if this something your dog would enjoy and you are okay with we can also provide taking your dog on a hike.

My wife and I both work full-time jobs Monday to Friday; however, we are not away from the house the entire day. My wife typically works 7am to 4pm but takes our animals out and is at the house for 30-45min around 11:30am each day. I typically work 8:30am to 5pm I also return to the house to care for our animals around 1:30pm for about 45 mins to check on our animals.
