My wife is a teacher. We love dogs and can accommodate regular walks. We typically walk our dog, Arlo, about 1.5 miles on the nearby Bear Creek walking/biking path in the evenings, sometimes adding in a trip to one of the nearby dog parks. We frequently do weekend hikes on nearby dog-friendly trails.

Information Dakota & Kate D. would like to know about your pet

I included big dogs in my filter options, but dogs on the larger end of this scale might be too large to stay here comfortable. Huskies are good size, as are smaller Labs or Goldens. Our dog sleeps on a pet bed in our room. We allow him on a couch, but only if he's being well-behaved.

A typical day

Walks along the creek are the norm. At the dog park we play fetch or play with other dogs. Our yard has squirrels and sometimes raccoons that scamper across the top of our privacy fence, which provides lots of entertainment for our dog.

Excellent setup for small to mids

Pet care experience

I work from home and our dog, Arlo, typically hangs out nearby if he's not patrolling the backyard. I've had dogs for most of my life. I've trained four of our own puppies and we've cared for two senior dogs in recent years.

My dog Mary Lou had a great time at Dakota and Kate’s with their pup for the day! They sent me photos and were very communicative along the way - which made me feel at ease. My pup who is normally anxious didn’t seem so at their place!

Great experience - knew Luna was in good hands and a good environment. Their dog is super sweet as well.

My pup had a blast! They shared photos and a video of him running and playing catch. He had high energy and took a nap when we got home :)
