Information Douglas J. would like to know about your pet

We like a meet and greet with the dog and their owners. Our dogs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Our first priority is to our dogs so we would like to make sure that the other dog is not aggressive. No preference on the breed.

A typical day

Our dogs have the use of our pool during the summer months and usually go out for boat rides. We play with the dogs at the beach area about a three blocks away. This is great walk down to the beach area. We also have dog walks provide by the town and walk through wildlife refuge. We play with the dogs inside and outside the house

When Your Dog Needs a Vacation

Pet care experience

We have had our own pets for over 50 years. We started in the pet service over 13 years ago. During the summer they enjoy swimming in our pool and going out on boat rides with us. They have the run of the house and our yard. We have bred dogs and birds over the years. Our clients have used our services for 13 years. Our Veterinarian and clients recommend us. I am retired from Management in the transportation industry. My wife is a retired registered nurse working in the emergency room a Toms River l hospital. She has been a groomer since she was 14 years old and we offer that service to our clients. We know that your dog is a part of your family and they become part of our family.

Nacho loved his stay. I thought he was not going to want to come home. We received updates on him while he was there. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

My dog Henry was very relaxed and comfortable in Doug’s care. Doug was great with sending us pics and updates while we were away. It was very assuring that Henry was in great care. I’m sure he can’t wait to go visit Doug again in the future!

Doug and Cyndy were great caregivers to my little guy for a little over a week. They welcomed Dakota into their home and treated him like family. Very knowledgeable about pet healthcare as well. Doug sent pictures and updates often. Our family made new friends.

Not much to say. Douglas is the best and the only one I would leave my dog with. Thanks for another good stay.
