PAWS DOWN, GREAT DOG DAD

Pet care experience

My wife and I have grown up with dogs all of our life. We currently have our boy Louie who is a very well behaved & trained great dane mix puppy. Louie is my running partner, so any dog with me will get their exercise! My wife and I both work at home and have all the time in the world to hang with your pups and give them plenty of play time or rest. We have a very large 2 bedroom apartment, 2 patio's ground level to let them out in an emergency, a balcony when they want to hang outside, a large private dog park with features connected to our building, and plenty of safe neighborhoods and dog parks nearby. We rescued a great dane mix puppy named Louie in June 2020, who has a very calm demeanor around other dogs and people, loves to play and sleep- he has played with several dogs a day the past few months due to our dog friendly building and has learned to play nicely with the smallest of dogs.

Derek was amazing with Dan! Dan can be a total spaz sometimes but Derek was super patient and supportive.

Information Derek B. would like to know about your pet

I love a good dog that likes to hang out and watch tv with me. No breed preferences, but I love great danes and large dogs. I have a great dane mix now. I grew up with small schnauzers , a cavapoo, and pit bull/terrier mix. Louie and I go for a lot of hikes, long walks and he has been my running partner since we first rescued him. **Booking policies** My daycare rate applies to +/- 8hrs. Additional fee of $5/hr will apply after 8 hrs if you plan to pick up your dog late (we will confirm and I will modify booking) **Dogs must be potty trained enough to not pee in the house**

A typical day

I live near the national arboretum and love to go on long hikes, I enjoy hanging out at our apartment's dog park, and dog parks nearby. I take our pup Louie around Catholic University for long walks/runs and surrounding neighborhoods that takes me 90 min-2 hours. I would love to get your dog outside to play and explore.
