Safety, trust & environment

Our home has a fenced-in back yard (six foot privacy fence). We have pets of our own (dog and cat) so our home and lifestyle are oriented towards a safe and happy pet environment. We can lock the gates to our fenced in back yard to ensure no one accidentally opens them and unintentionally lets a pupper out. We have crates setup in our house if needed. We have dedicated feeding area with fresh circulating water always available. We live with our pets and allow them to be with us wherever we are in the house. We use Ehler’s veterinary and also can utilize the emergency veterinary clinic for off hour emergencies. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS WE ARE UNABLE TO TAKE ANY PIT BULL OR PIT MIXES. We love all dogs but please understand our position.

Information David & Shelly J. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special requirements or preferences and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Be sure to let us know if you dog is crate trained, spayed/neutered, been around cats, and is he/she current on vaccinations and tick/flea prevention? We are familiar with Labs and Golden Retrievers, and have spent time with many other breeds. Just let us know about your pupper and how we can make sure their visit with us is happy and stress-free!

A typical day

Dogs are free to spend time with us throughout our home. They can spend time in the fenced in back yard chasing rabbits and squirrels or just hanging out. We can take them for a walk through our neighborhood to burn off some energy and get some exercise. We typically do not leave our dogs outside other than to potty and play. Otherwise the dogs will be inside the house with us.

David & Shelly were kind enough to sponsor our dog last minute and we couldn’t be more grateful! Drop off and pickup were a breeze and communication was fabulous! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

David and Shelley were very flexible when we needed to change our pickup time & date. Their communication was very good throughout both times Charlie stayed.
