Pet care experience

Private oasis in St. Charles

I grew up around large breeds. At 22 years old, I started house sitting. After getting married and adopting 4 children, our large dogs that were litter mates passed away from old age. They are ready to have a dog in the house again. We work from home regularly and have plenty of time and people to spoil your pup. Our dogs were trained with a trainer that also trained police dogs. I'm happy to assist if you would like your dogs to have better manners.

Schedule

Typically we get up in the morning and feed the dogs, according to their regular schedule. I do school drop off and come back to the house for morning walks. Since we work from home we have plenty of time for potty breaks.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 1 acer property with a fence around the pool. We are also close to a trail if your dogs prefer the nature scene. We have a crib mattress for your dog to sleep on. If you require a crate, please bring one at the time of drop off.

A typical day

We take the dog out for a short walk first thing in the morning. When we get back to the house we fed them breakfast. Sometimes we work at the office and sometimes we work from home. In the evenings, we usually feed them between 5:00 and 6:00. We take them out again right before bed. If your dog is a snuggler, they typically sleep with one of the teenagers. If your dog prefers a crate, please bring it. We have 3 teenagers in the home. If your dog does not do well with people constantly coming and going, please consider this.

We ask that you bring a crate if you use one at home. If there are any food allergies, please let us know. We usually buy our treats from Trader Joe's. Most guests bring some of the dogs favorite toys or blankets. Please let us know their preference for sleeping so we can all get a peaceful night's rest.
