Pet care experience

Dog fosters turn Rover!

We fostered a total of 15 labradors for the past 2 years Cincinnati Lab Rescue. We are looking to continue the care for dogs, but a little closer to home on an overall shorter-term basis. We did love the experience though and hope to do it again one day! Currently, we also volunteer at 4 Paws for Ability with the puppies. If you are interested in a dog photo shoot, please let us know so we can quote additional pricing. These photo shoots go above and beyond your average every day activities. They can be seasonal, maybe celebrating a special day as a surprise for someone...The ideas are endless and we're happy to work with you while you pooch hangs out with us! ALL DOGS THAT STAY WITH US MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. ALL DOGS NEED TO BE HOUSE TRAINED. We have a bell on the back door and show the dogs around the house as soon as they come in. I work from home and my husband has a very flexible schedule. Between the 2 of us, one of us, if not both are normally home. We go on daily walks or runs at least once a day. We have a fenced in yard and during the summer, we are out at the pool quite a bit in the back yard. We do allow dogs in the pool and will teach them to swim if they don't know already.

Emily and Chris took wonderful care of my pup, while I was on vacation! The daily updates kept me from worrying and the “professional” pictures were amazing! Highly recommend!!

Emily and Kris were phenomenal! My golden retriever (4) and Aussie (5) both adored them and their son, so much so that my golden almost flat out refused to leave when we came to pick her up lol. Emily really came in clutch when My Aussie, who has a daredevil streak, ran into a branch while playing frisbee and gave herself a boo-boo under her eye. Emily took her to the vet and called me so I could be there for the appointment too, and Emily and Criz both gave Lucy her eye drops morning and night. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and I hope that my dogs will hang out again with them in the future.

We were very pleased with how well Libby was cared for. Emily checked in with us every day and she even sent us daily pictures. You can tell how much they love dogs! Libby can’t wait to go back and play with her new friends.

Emily is AMAZING! Her family loves on our Ellie as much as we do and provides constant updates of all the snuggles! We had a significant travel delay issue and Emily was so kind and worked with me to both take care of our girl and accommodate our situation. Thank you!!

Safety, trust & environment

ALL DOGS THAT STAY WITH US MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED. ALL DOGS NEED TO BE HOUSE TRAINED. We have a bell on the back door and show the dogs around the house as soon as they come in. ALL DOGS WHO STAY AT OUR HOME MUST BE UP TO DATE ON VACCINATIONS, HEART WORM AND FLEA AND TICK PREVENTION. NO EXCEPTIONS. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of gates to have crowd control where needed. Our fenced yard is not good for diggers though! There is one flight of steps to go to the backyard, but once there, they can party!

Pets

A typical day

On a typical day we go for at least a 1 mile walk no matter the weather! If it's nice out or someone needs to burn off some energy we go longer. During the summer months we are in the pool with the dogs who like to swim.

over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Please let me know if there is anything special your dog needs. Having fostered for so long, we are pretty accustomed to getting dogs and having to do most of the guesswork ourselves, so we always appreciate tips!
