Peace of mind for U, Wags for Them

Hi! I'm Gretchen and my partner is Louis. We are excited to meet the doggo members of your family and provide them with lots of love, care, and attention while you're away. Louis grew up with dogs and raised his children with them, and I was thrilled to finally get my first dog 15 years ago. We've got extensive experience caring for older and health-challenged dogs -- my first dog (a pug) had numerous health issues in the second half of her life, and together we've recently forever fostered for Old Dog Haven. We are currently without dogs of our own and are only taking dogs from one family at a time, so while your pup(s) are with us, they'll get our undivided attention.

Mei absolutely loves Camp G + L! Another great stay with lots of TLC, zoomies, and walkies. We’re so grateful for their patience and intentional care for our gal!

Our pup Mei had a wonderful stay with Gretchen and Louis! We’re very grateful for their calm and friendly demeanors, frequent communication + photos, and their kindness and patience as Mei settled into a fun and happy visit with her new pals. She already can’t wait to hang with them again!

Schedule

We both work from home so your doggos will almost always have at least one of us around to play with and love up on them frequently. Occasionally we will both be out of the house, though that is not frequent and generally for only 2 to 4 hours at at a time. Let us know if longer periods left alone like that are challenging for your pup and we will design a schedule that takes your individual dog's needs into account.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a small house with an unfenced yard. We will take your leashed dogs outside frequently to take care of their businesses and on at least one longer walk a day, though often we'll take the pups on multiple walks in a day. Let us know if your doggo needs a higher degree of exercise and we'll work with you to organize a walk/play plan to meet their needs. If you have an older dog with mobility challenges, we would love to take care of them. Our front door is reached via a few steps, and we've got a custom-built dog ramp for those pups no longer able to comfortably navigate stairs. Once they get inside, the main living spaces are all on one level.

A typical day

We have a bin full of toys for your doggo's playtime. And our house is laid out in such a way that we've got a great space to play chase, tug, and fetch within the house. Additionally, we enjoy taking the doggos on at least two walks a day with additional shorter visits outside for potty breaks. More walks are possible if needed.

It's helpful to know about dietary restrictions, any reactive behaviors while on walks, and how they do when new people enter the home they've relaxed into as their own. And of course, anything unique to your doggos that will help them feel at home while with us.
