Verfügbarkeit
I work from a hybrid schedule and Calob is home full time with the dogs. We get outside first thing in the morning, 4ish, 6:30ish, and before bed. We try to do two longer walks, though long is pretty variable depending on the dogs (could be 20 minutes, could be an hour). For dogs with different walking needs, we stick to the same schedule, but will split duties so my husband takes slower dogs with shorter walk needs and I take the dogs who prefer a longer walk! In between, the dogs play, nap, or hang out with us while we work on projects, read, and play D&D. Most of our house has low or floor seating, so it's easy for the dogs to join us for some attention or playtime!

Pets in our home are always required to be vaccinated (exceptions considered for young puppies, both of our dogs are up to date). Disabled, senior, and chronically ill pets with nothing transmittable are welcome! Dog toys and beds are run through a wash cycle between visitors. We have lots of food and water bowls (run through the dishwasher between visitors). My dogs normally have access to their food any time and eat when we eat because they like the company, but can easily switch to a schedule to accommodate guests. Dogs who are on a schedule or protective of their food are fed in separate rooms with gates up. New environments and people can be exciting or stressful for even well-mannered, friendly, dogs, so we monitor visitors for signs of stress, and do our best to keep them engaged and feeling safe. It's normal for pups to eat a bit more or less in a new place. I always update owners on unusual eating habits but don't worry about it as long as it's only a few days and they are still drinking water normally and otherwise seem healthy. We also have plenty of spare harnesses, and all new dogs who don't have one of their own will be fitted for one for their first few walks. They don't wear them around the house, but a harness is safer for dogs who get overly excited and lunge or may slip out of a collar, and even the best-behaved dogs can test boundaries with new people, especially the smart ones! We always have treats for after walks and before bed, if your dog has any dietary restrictions on treats please let us know!

Informationen, die Heather & Calob James D. gerne über dein Haustier wissen möchte
I would love to know what your dog’s energy levels, favorite activities, and stress/aggression triggers are. What does their routine usually look like, and do they need to stick to it? Are they working on any commands or behavior training that needs reinforced? Please provide any special equipment, food, or medication they need, like a favorite toy, blanket that smells like home, or a particular lead/leash/harness for walks. For drop-ins or walks, we are happy to work with large active dogs and dogs with dog-aggression/anxiety, but for boarding, they do need to be able to get along with my dogs.

BOARDING Dogs staying at the house will love the variety of surfaces to nap on and toys to play with! We get barkbox every month, so we have toys in many sizes and durability levels, and destruction is inevitable, don't worry, we will have more! During the week, dogs get fed and walked in the morning around 7:00 am, will be taken out as often as needed between for potty breaks or short walks until their last bedtime walk. Dogs have lots of time to play, cuddle, and explore the walking trails with us, or just do their own thing around the house - we are pretty low-key and don't go out a lot. Dogs are allowed all over the house and on the furniture. Trash and food (for humans and dogs) are safely kept out of dog range in cabinets or the pantry. While we're running errands, puppies, new visitors, and known-chewers will typically be kept in the guest room so they have room to play but limited access to things they shouldn't chew on, and aren't unsupervised with our old corgi-mix. More mature visitors are free to roam the house and take naps with our dog after their first day. We have a large and medium kennel available, but keep the doors off unless a visitor is kennel trained/training and needs to stick to their routine. WALKING AND DROP INS: Calob is available most days/times, I have a hybrid schedule and am typically available evenings and weekends.

Experienced Pet Companionship
Erfahrung in der Haustierbetreuung
I (Heather) grew up with dogs, cats, and weird exotic fish, and have either owned or volunteered with dogs and other pets for my whole life, starting with my grandad's springer spaniel when I was a baby, up through the two dogs I have now! I volunteered with the Animal Rescue League of Iowa for 10 years as a dog walker, small animal companion, adoption counselor, and intake specialist - assessing dogs for temperament and placement recommendations. I was also a volunteer instructor for the Red Cross and taught first aid for both humans and pets. Calob has also owned a variety of dogs and exotic pets, is a life-long dog owner, and has experience breeding and training therapy dogs and caring for senior and disabled dogs. We love dogs and would adopt all of them if we could, but for now, we're happy to supplement our two-dog household with pets who need a cozy place to stay while their owners travel or have other obligations! I have a weight limit on visitors, and am happy to make exceptions for fellow senior and/or disabled dogs of any size, but due to the advanced age and intra-vertebral disc disorder (IVDD) affecting our older dog's spine, larger, mobile, dogs can accidentally knock him over, so much as I love them, I can't board active dogs over 40lbs. Chase (17) is a senior corgi mix and grew up with other dogs, in a household training physical assistance dogs. While he doesn't have the work ethic for a job, he does have the bomb-proof temperament of his working siblings. He enjoys the company of other dogs and tolerates even the most playful of puppies using him as a jungle gym and chew toy. Churro (around 6?) is a chihuaha-shiba -mystery mix. He can be loud, but it's just excitement. He is happy to play with other energetic dogs. He is very respectful (and sometimes protective) of senior, lower energy, and disabled dogs, and will entertain himself with toys or people if the other dogs are not interested in playing with him -he does not play with our senior dog, as Chase prefers naps.

Bewertungen
She gave us lots of updates and gave lots of snuggles to our little guy.
Our little dog is very shy and Calob and Heather were attentive to her and gave me confidence in their care. I received updates and photos and felt comfortable. It was a great first daycare.
Diesel and Cabby had a wonderful visit. We got regular updates, and pickup and drop off was so easy. Calob and Heather are great!
Fantastic!
