Pet care experience

My husband has been surrounded by dogs ever since he was a child and I started taking care and training of my aunts dogs a couple years ago. Since 3 years we now have a super sweet and playful chocolate lab mix "Chestnut" who has licked his way up into our hearts. After numerous friends dropping their dogs off with us or asking us to house sit at their place while they are gone we decided to sign up here. I take our dog for a 30-60min walk everyday and my husband is able to get home during his lunch breaks. We have two nice lakes right outside our door and a brand new dog park only a 10min walk away. Chestnut gets along with 99% of all dogs. He is super playful, submissive and still acts like a big puppy. But he is also well trained and listens to everything we say. We are very flexible and can adjust to your dogs needs. Being in a new environment can be scary and we want your dog to be as comfortable as possible while you are gone. So please let us know how we can help your dog forget that he misses you.

Iris is extremely trustworthy and the dogs love her. They are a handful, but she can handle them on their walk, which I really appreciate.

Iris was awesome! She met with me in order to socialize my dog and her dog! They got along great. Jace loved it there and I would definitely recommend Iris to anyone who is looking to board their dog overnight! She was really good with pick up and drop off times as well!

Iris was super flexible on the drop off/pick up times, and sent a few pictures during our weekend away. Dharma and Chestnut seemed to have a great time together, and I'd definitely use Iris again in the future.

Iris did a good job of handling my two boxers and they are certainly a handful. She took them for frequent walks, and I mean real walks, not just around the block. I received regular reports along with pictures (Iris is also a talented pet photographer, it appears.) As a bonus, my vegetable pots were all still alive when I returned and the house was in the same shape I left it. I would definitely ask Iris to do a repeat engagement.

Information Iris K. would like to know about your pet

We love absolutely every breed incl. Pitbulls. Please let us know if your dog has any allergies or restrictions since we like to give our dog different treats (peanut butter, chews, carrots, ...). Let us know about your dogs favorite games, treats as well as things that might frighten him (thunder, trains, ..) or make him aggressive.

A typical day

We have two dog agility parks in our neighborhood and a 1.2 miles nature trail. I like to drive to the parks nearby and take my dogs there, depending on the weather and length of the walk.
