Dog Lover on 22 Acres-Okelly Chapel

Pet care experience

If you are a regular and can't get booked on the website, call me and hopefully we can squeeze you in. ...You pay us to love your dog(s), and that is what we do. Growing up, my family raised German Sheppards, along with the horses, cows, cats, chickens, geese and a myriad of other animals. I'm located on the same 22 acres, conveniently located off O'Kelly Chapel Road in extreme north-east Chatham County/north-west Cary. If the three acre Frisbee field or tennis ball turf isn't enough space, or the 20 acres of woods is too confining, we can head over to the American Tobacco Trail that borders our property. After 33 years of an adult life in Atlanta, I moved back home to care for my aging parents. Since I work from home, I am here at the house most of the time. Your dog also gets loved by mom, along with my daily helpers. There is ALWAYS someone here to administer affection.

Our dog had an absolute blast staying with Dean! We appreciated all the photos and updates that Dean sent while we were away. Finn got so much outdoor play time and socialization time with the other dogs who were also staying at Dean's for the weekend. We would definitely bring him back and recommend Dean to others!

Dean is amazing with these pups! My boy enjoys his time with Dean and the crew and gets to run around and play with other dogs in a safe and loving environment! Highly recommend!!

Our dogs didn’t want to leave! We will definitely have Dean watch them again. They got tons of love and playtime and Dean had great communication with us while we were on our trip.

Dean was an attentive and gracious caretaker for our dog, Romeo, during his week-long stay. We received videos throughout his stay that helped us feel connected to Romeo, giving us a good sense of his environment and the other dogs. Dean obviously cares a lot about every dog. He understands how to interact with them and respects their individual needs. His dog-friendly home and beautiful property seem like an ideal place for any dog. We are extremely grateful!

Information Dean K. would like to know about your pet

It is important to me to get a feel for the rapport you have with your dog. How well do you communicate with them? Are there any behavioral issues? We don’t just board and babysit them. We want to send yours home a better dog than when he came. If yours has tireless energy, we'll send him home exhausted. If your dog is a love muffin, we'll butter him up. If he's a tough guy, we'll rough house with him. We mandate good behavior. If your dog is a yapper, you'll have to let me teach him not to be. If there aren't other dogs here, I’ll care for 'aggressive' dogs that other sitters won't take. Special stipulations and a $10 per day surcharge would apply. I will not take in pit bulls. I'm sorry, but I just don't trust them.

A typical day

Your dog won't just get a 12 minute walk, or an 18 minute playtime on Astro-turf, laid on the asphalt parking lot, in a chain-linked fenced area. At our place activities are endless. Dogs have a blast. They run through the woods, splash through the springs, roll in the mud, retrieve tennis balls, and endlessly chase each other around our 3 acre field. It’s always fun to hike to the American Tobacco Trail. Your Andy can adventure in the woods, sniffing at everything and digging at the interesting stuff. Your Freddie can frolic with other dogs, or visit the chickens on the barn tour. When we head inside, we can sack out on the sofa, and watch TV game shows, college basketball or Netflix with mom ...OR, if we're tired, just snooze out on the sun deck. You are paying us to LOVE your dog, and that is what we do!
