I recently retired, and have an open schedule. My wife is allergic to cats and dogs, so any overnight stays, we recommend your dog is non-allergic and non-shedding If non overnight stays, and walks, a shedding dog is welcome. Our previous dog was a golden doodle, which we were fortunate to spend 12 glorious years Looking forward to spending time with your pet. We have a nice big fenced in yard for run around playtime’s,

Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.

John and Teri were absolutely amazing! We have a small dog with pretty severe separation anxiety and they worked so hard to make him comfortable, they even fed him yogurt and pumpkin through a syringe to get him to eat. Communication was great. They sent pictures and videos and really put us at ease so we could relax on our vacation. We will definitely be using them again!

Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!
