Pet care experience

Doggy Heaven

We are a Grandma & Grandpa who are retired and have had over 11 dogs and 4 kitties in our 41 year marriage. We lost our lab Dixie you see in the photos last November and both our kitty boys in the last 2 years so are just relying on Rover dog visits for our 4 legged baby fix. We live in a large pet friendly log home with a large yard nestled in the woods. We have always had labs and love big dogs but love all doggies. We are home bodies who would love to make your baby a member of our family while you are out of town. We are near Gull Lake by old Yarrow Golf Center.oggie

Safety, trust & environment

A typical day

Your dog pretty much has the run of our house and I have a huge basket full of toys and bones. I am an expert tug of war opponent. They are allowed on all the couches and if they want to sleep with us at night we allow them to.
