1/3 Acre Fenced Yard/Pool, Walks!!

If you want your pet indulged with love, attention, walks and playtime in our great sized backyard by a responsible experienced dog owner and her fiance, then we're the right fit for you. We believe your dog should be exercised frequently and given lot of love and attention. We both grew up with dogs, and I worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic, so we are both experienced and responsible when it comes to taking care of dogs. With us, your dog will be well taken care of, we assure you. If you're interested, please contact us. We will respond promptly. We will follow your instructions regarding how you want us to care for your dog. Please instruct us how you would like us to provide for your dog and if there is anything, we can do to make your dog more comfortable, such as special toys, sleeping arrangements, treats. If there is anything we should be aware of concerning your dog and their health or general comfort, let us know. We encourage a meet and greet first with your dog to determine whether you are comfortable with our home and if your pup is comfortable! We really care about dogs, so we want to make sure your dog is comfortable with us and our home! ****************************************************** During stays we provide: -Plenty of exercise (at least 90 minutes). May vary depending on the age and health of your dog and personal preference. -=Trips to the dog park! -An wide assortment of toys for your dog's personal chewing pleasure (tug a war toys, chew toys, tennis balls, and more!) -Individual love and attention -Doggy couch and doggy bone bed, as well as our own furniture for your dog's use -Medicating (if necessary) -A variety of dog treats -Food bowls/large water bowls -One bath (unless dog has sensitive skin or any kind of skin condition) -A nail trim (if it does not cause discomfort to dog. We want your dog to be comfortable during the stay and not to view our home as a vet!) -Grooming (A brush out using scented grooming spray) (if dog has sensitive skin or any type of skin condition, grooming spray will not be used) ***************************************************** Note: Please bring own food and medication (if on any) *For your dog's personal comfort, we encourage you to bring any items that you feel would make your dog more comfortable in a new environment, such as your dog's doggy bed, or particular chew toy. *If your dog is crate trained, please bring crate. If not, crate is not necessary provided your dog is not destructive when home alone for a few hours daily during the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and provide walks, trips to the dog park (this may vary depending on the heat), and dogs are welcome to explore the backyard. We have a 0.30 lot size in Mesa, so plenty of room to roam! Dogs are also welcome on the furniture if this is allowed in their own home! We will follow instructions to prepare their dog food, administer any medications, and anything else they require.
