Dustin & Crystal's Worry Free Care
What to do when you can't take the whole family on vacation? We know how stressful it can be going out of town and finding a caring place for your "kids". PLEASE let us ease your mind. We are HUGE animal lovers and we would LOVE to play & care for your doggy. Our house has a fenced yard for playing during the day, we have a doggy door (which makes entering & exiting the house easy), tons of toys available for sharing & dog beds & extra blankets.

What an amazing experience!!! Dustin cared for our two dogs as if they were his own - what more could anyone ask for for!!!
My dogs were so well cared for, you can’t ask for anything better.
Dustin was great! He took great care of our fur baby, provided updates and sent pictures! We get worried that Annie will get anxious whenever we drop her with a sitter because she was abandoned before; so we try to limit the amount of time we are away from her as much as possible… but she seemed to fit right in with Dustin and his dogs and warmed up to him immediately upon meeting him. Our experience overall was outstanding.
Dustin and his family were kind and communicative. They sent many updates and photos, and Luke was so well loved and cared for. Would absolutely book again and recommend to a friend!
Dustin is really responsive and sends great photos of Indy☺️We can relax when we are away from our fur baby❤️
Excellent Care. Karli was in a perfect environment, with loving & caring people. I will always use Dustin & Crystal. I was sent pictures & updates. Karli was a happy girl when we picked her up. I will never have to worry about our baby girl when I leave her with them. Thank you again for taking such good care of Karli.

Schedule
We love taking care of playful and upbeat dogs because they are always keeping us on our toes. But we also like to snuggle and curl up on the couch with calm dogs too. We have a large, fully fenced-in backyard that dogs will love to run around and play in. We can also take your dog on walks around our neighborhood. We know being in a new place can cause dogs a lot of anxiety, so we try to keep your dogs routine as if they would be at home--and maybe a little more playtime and cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment
You look like you deserve a break--everyone needs some time away to relax, renew & refresh! Don't stress about your dog while you are on vacation - your dog is in good hands with us :) We aim to treat them just like you would treat them at home! Being in a new place can cause lots of anxiety for dogs. We aim to make them feel comfortable and happy while you're away... there is no need to stress about them while you're away! We will send you lots of photos and videos of your pup and let you know how they're doing while they're staying with us.

A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Usually around the neighborhood we live in. We also spend a lot of time in our big backyard and dogs love to run around, explore, play fetch & sunbathe back there. Your dog's sleeping arrangement That's up to you. Some dogs sleep in our bed with us (or with our kids--they love having guest dogs sleep with them), some bring their dog beds over and sleep in those, others bring crates over and they sleep in there, or we have a couch available too. We like our guests to sleep however they are used to sleeping and we want everyone to have a good night's sleep so we will let them sleep where they are most comfortable. We know leaving your dog someplace new can be stressful for them so we try to keep their routines similar to what they'd have at home. Time I'll spend with your dog We plan on spending as much time as possible with them. When dogs stay with us they become part of our family, cuddle with us on the couch, play outside, eat, take naps, & go on walks with us. My wife and I both love dogs and try to spend as much time as we can with them. I usually work from home M-F, although occasionally I do need to go into the office and/or may be busy on zoom meetings off/on during the week. My wife's schedule varies, but generally will be home a couple days during the week and weekends. There may occasionally be times where the dogs would be left alone, indoors for a little while. It would never be longer than a couple of hours, and we have a doggy door so the dogs are able to go in and out of the house as much as they like. If you prefer we can close the back door and leave them indoors only.
