Pet care experience

Caring Dog Lover

We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern.

Eric and Christina were very responsive and took great care of our pup while we were away. They provided requested updates and he seemed very comfortable. We will definitely book with them again.

Our 3 pups returned home happy and healthy and content. Eric did a great job managing our 15 YO poodle mix who is is hard of hearing and sight.

Eric and Christina watched our 3 dogs for a long weekend. They were responsive, flexible, and great to work with. We had peace of mind our pups were in good hands!

Eric watched our dog for one night. When we dropped her off there were a few more dogs than I anticipated but he told us that 2 of them were going home that day. I had communicated with him the next day around 9am to see how our dog did with him and he texted back right away that she was great. I planned to pick her up around noon at his house. At 11:30 I got notification from my dog’s chip company that she had been found at Cave Creek urgent care. I called Eric and he didn’t answer so I left a message asking him to call me asap. I collected my dog who luckily was not harmed from a lady who found her wandering in Eric’s neighborhood. My dog has never escaped but if a door or gate is left open she will leave a house or yard. Eric finally called me and said he wasn’t sure how she got out but he had been out looking for her. I realize things like this can happen but just want to forewarn other pet parents. He should have called me as soon as he realized my dog was missing.

Everything was wonderful. We were really nervous to leave Gertie (because we hadn’t ever) and Eric was just awesome. He understood completely and sent us pictures and communicated with us regularly. We have another trip soon and we have already booked another visit.

A typical day

We love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, and check out all the smells on a walk around the neighborhood. It's always fun to teach a dog new tricks.
