Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should account for. Also let me know if your dog is high-energy or has not been potty trained to go outside.

A typical day

Play fetch and other games so the dog can burn off some energy througout the day. Typically we try to go on a walk every day, neighborhood is quiet and excellent for walking. We are also close to daley ranch entrance for trails and some hiking.

Pet care experience

Receive $20 off the stay using this promo code JOSHR06070, https://www.rover.com/sit/joshr06070 I have a few years of experience watching various types of dogs. My wife and I currently have a dog named Copper; a poodle mix, but I grew up with Beagles, a German Shepherd and a Dobermann mix. I also periodically watch a husky and a couple poodles for our neighbors so I am very accustomed to various sizes and temperaments. Additionally i have some experience caring for dogs with health issues, medical requirements, joint and back issues etc. My wife and I have also raised our dogs since they were puppies so we are very familiar and comfortable watching, caring and training puppies.

We have one large dog and a small senior dog, both were taken great care of and got along well with the whole family. We were sent photos and updates which provided us with a peace of mind while being away. Would definitely rebook!
