Huge Fenced Yard Lotsa Cuddles!

Pet care experience

My husband and I have two dogs and a cat (Daisy, Persik and Dragon,) and live on a fenced acre and a half. Our dogs and cat are great with all other dogs so yours should be too. My husband is between jobs (law enforcement) and would love to cuddle and love your dogs as his own, and I will cuddle them all night if they will permit me to, and take them on hikes on the weekend. We have plenty of space for crates or your dog can sleep in our bed with us. We have a happy home and lots of toys and fun for your babies!! One of our dogs is from the Chernobyl Dog Colony, and was rescued last winter. To say we are willing to do whatever it takes to help an animal is not exaggerating. I also have experience administering medication and handling older pets. My husband is less familiar with medicating animals but otherwise a perfect dog Dad. We have wide open availability at the moment. My husband is home all week and I’m home weekends and evenings. We rarely leave for longer than a couple of hours for dinner or a movie. Huge fenced yard that is wide open for running and completely dog proof (trust me, I have an escape artist!) Three bedroom house loaded with toys, treats and cozy spots to curl up. My dogs both love all other dogs, but one can annoy other dogs sometimes because she loves them when they aren’t in the mood. Your dogs must be good with cats, as our cat is very brave and will walk right up to any dog, so they need to play nice! There will always be a person or dogs around to keep your dog company. :)

They were great on communicating expectations. They were flexible in pick up and drop off. The dogs were their usual nervous selves when we dropped them off but when we came to get them they were calm and happy. We live in an area prone to wildfire so being able to leave our dogs with someone locally while we were out on kayaking on the South Fork of the American River let us relax and enjoy our time out there during fire season. Their two dogs were very cute and friendly. It was very easy to work with them on setting up our dog's stay. Thanks.

Thanks to Christine and Kenneth for taking great care of Osito! They were super easy to communicate with and coordinate pickup/drop-off and my boy was happy and tired each day! It was so nice to know that he was safe and cared for while I was enjoying some time on the river!

They were so amazing with my pups. Plan to use them again anytime I go out of town.

Information Christine & Kenneth A. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know that they play well with others and won’t go after the cat (she can handle rough play, but not a dog with an actual prey drive.)

A typical day

Lots of room to play, and pals to join in. We have plenty of toys and balls to keep them busy and a king sized bed to sleep in with us (or if they are used to a crate, a nice quiet place for their crate at night.)
