Pet care experience

Our kids and our entire family love all types of dogs - large and small! :) We have 2 outstanding teenage kids at home that have experience training dogs to become service dogs for kids with Autism. They love having dogs come visit for them to help care for and play with. Your pup can have run of the house - or be in crate - your preference! And we live directly across the street from a wonderful large park with lots of beautiful green grass that’s perfect for walks or playtime! Available for daycare, overnight stays away and more! Your furry family member will get lots of love and attention, walks and playtime! And we will capture lots of fun pics of them and their adventures during their stay!

Dina was amazing with our dogs! We took a last minute overnight trip and didn’t want to board our dogs for one night. We also have a senior dog who feels most comfortable at home. She came to meet the dogs first and introduce herself to us so we would be at ease. Our dogs loved her calm and loving demeanor. She sent us pictures and updated us on how they were doing. I highly recommend using her!

Dina and family were fantastic from start to finish. She took excellent care with our 3 year old miniature poodle and I would highly recommend. We received daily photos and frequent updates on all the wonderful activities Mickey did during his stay. She took him to the park, carwash and he played with the kids. It's nice to know Dina is an option for our next trip - will definitely rebook with Dina and family!

We have a big comfy home and just our gentle and loving 3 year old female greyhound Aspen and us and the kiddos in it lots of room for a comfy stay! We live across the street from a beautiful park where we can take walks if you wish! Your dog can have the run of the house or hang out in a dog bed and/or crate - as you wish! We started doing this during COVID as the kids wanted another pet and we, the kids and our doggy Aspen have been having so much fun with it that we have kept it up. It now feels like family friends are bringing their dogs over for a visit. It’s so much fun. We love it!

Information Dina D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences. We like all make dogs to be fixed and all dogs must be up to date on their shots, etc. Our only other requirement is that if your dog happens to be a big barker/quite yappy indoors, it may not be a good fit as we do have conference calls etc during the day. Getting excited and being loud outside on walks is fine of course! Of all the dogs we have ever had come visit, this was only an issue once - when we had a visitor who literally would bark non-stop for attention - at everything and at nothing at all :) She still was a cutie and we loved her but she just was not a good candidate for a repeat visit :)

A typical day

We can do long and short walks, play fetch, tug-of-war and other fun activities! We can also practice and improve on your pet’s skills - sit, stay, walk, fetch, etc. You let us know and we will do it! But most of all your pet will get lots of love, attention and affection while they are in our care!
