Just Like Home for Dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello, we are Frank and Dana and we live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood in Wolcott. We have lived in our home almost 20 years and have owned 2 Shiba Inu dogs during our time here. Unfortunately, they have both passed on and we are not planning on getting any others at this time, but wanted to offer a home environment to visiting dogs. This is not a business for us, but a fun opportunity to offer our love to other dogs while their families are away. In this case, we are interested more in long weekends (yet may be more flexible in some cases) and will only watch dog(s) from one family at a time. This is a perfect environment for dogs preferring more human interaction as they will certainly get a lot of our attention. We do work during the week (Mon-Fri), but our schedule is flexible. We do prefer a crate-trained dog or one that is house-trained, not destructive, and does not get anxiety when we may be away. When we are all together, we will go for walks, play in the house or outdoors on a line, and get lots of exercise and fun. We do not have a fenced yard, so the dog must be trained on a leash. Thank you for visiting our Profile and feel free to reach out for a visit.

Frank and Dana were great with Tucker. Terrific people who love dogs. Would definitely book with them again.

Frank and Dana were so great with Murphy for a weekend! They texted pictures throughout the weekend which I loved. They are really friendly people and have a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood. I have already recommended them to friends. Thank you Frank and Dana!

We were more than pleased- Frank and his wife are friendly and accommodating. They met with our dog to be sure it was a good match, and they wanted to know her habits, her routine, and what she enjoys most. We coordinated times for drop off and pick up, and I felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in the best of hands and a loving home. I received updates on her and pictures while I was away. I confidently recommend Frank to you and my closest friends. Thank you, Frank!

Frank and Dana were great. Such nice people - truly a great experience for both us and especially our little fur-baby. We were away just for a long weekend but they were very accommodating at both drop off and pick up times. They were open about their schedules and welcomed us into their home to show us where our fur-baby would be vacationing. Being her first time with someone outside family I was uneasy and they recommended a meet and greet before the stay. We received pictures while away. Our pup was well cared for the entire time. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Information Frank A. would like to know about your pet

We will watch all types of small to medium dogs; however, we have a perfect environment for dogs that may be timid or slightly aggressive with other dogs as we will only accommodate one family at a time (up to 2 dogs per family). We do not prefer overly aggressive dogs, but can keep them away from neighborhood dogs and strangers, if needed.

A typical day

We have a big yard to play and a nice neighborhood to walk around. All dogs in the neighborhood are on leashes or behind a regular or electric fence.
