Semi retired couple who love dogs!!

Pet care experience

We have been taking care of dogs since 2018! We are so enjoying it!! Hubby walks the dogs and I cuddle and play! It's a win win for your fur baby! For doggie day care we are available between 8 am and 6pm Monday through Friday. Would love long term . We do have one small dog. For boarding we are available both weekdays and weekends. We have a nice fenced-in backyard and my husband takes the dogs out for daily walks! We have one dog that is not initially playful but takes a while to warm up but he does typically! I do require a meet and greet before committing and for pets to show proof of rabies shots,heartworm and flea and toc treatments.

Donna took care of our dog as if he were her own! She took the time to learn all about his habits and gave him all the attention he needed. I could tell he was so comfortable at her house and well-loved. I really appreciated the photo and update after the first day so we k ew he was happy & doing well. I will definitely use her again in the future!

Donna ajd Calvin are absolutely amazing. They helped out so much with Charlie. And he absolutely loves going to their home and being around all the other dogs. I know he is well taken care with them. Ms. Donna is very communicative and always sends me updates throughout the day. Couldn't ask for better people to watch Charlie while I'm at work. We'll definitely be using their services again. And their prices are very affordable and reasonable.

Donna and Calvin are a wonderful couple to entrust with our fur babies. Lots of room to run, walks on the trails, and tons of snuggles. Our boys enjoyed their stay and we were confident that they were well cared for.

I have a fenced in yard and my husband walks our dog daily.Typically will hit the area walking trails. If necessary, he is willing to walk animals separately(older dog who can not walk as long or dogs who have health challenges)Our dog is not overly friendly and takes a bit of time to adjust but usually does. We are attentive to this and supervise very closely until we see how things are going to be. We own both a large and small dog crate and can separate them if needed

Information Donna & Calvin K. would like to know about your pet

I am firm on rabies,heart worm and flea and tic being up to date. I preferdogs no larger than 25 pounds but will consider a larger ( but still medium sized)dog if it is calm and submissive. We have a few larger dogs that we keep. They all belong to personal friends or family members so I know them very well.

A typical day

We love to play in the yard and typically play fetch. If it's pretty out ,I will just hang out in the yard with the dogs and let them play. Husband loves to take dogs on hikes through our area parks and down to the beach!!
