Pet care experience

My animal husbandry interest began when I was a child growing up on a farm. We had dogs, cows, chickens, cats, geese, peacocks, emus, pigs etc. Love for dogs and other animals is a good starting place but to effectively care for them requires a deeper understanding of their needs. My wife and I enjoy getting to know the personalities of the dogs we care for and making them feel like our house is their second home. Your family member will be watched 24 hours a day. We are always home! Your dog's medication and dietary needs are strictly adhered to and is considered top priority. Daily photos are provided so you have peace of mind that your pup is having fun.

This was our dog’s third stay with Don. She now gets very excited when we say we’re taking her to “Cody’s house”. She enjoys her time watching the Don, Melody, and their dog, Cody and they take excellent care of her. Highly recommend.

Don and Melody took exceptional care of our yellow lab, Winnow, while we were out of the country. She got along very well with their sweet lab, Cody and enjoyed the routines of their household. We would not hesitate to leave Winnow with Don again in the future and hope to do so soon!
