Pet care experience

Dogs have fun at our house!

We live in a quiet residential neighborhood on a small lake and have a fenced in yard.. Joe and I have had dogs all our lives. We have had Boston Terriers, Boxers and standard Poodles. I love to walk, and play with the dogs. I enjoy the maintenance and grooming of our standard poodles. . My husband enjoys walking the dogs, playing fetch and working with dogs to having them catching cloth Frisbees. Our dogs are treated with love and respect. We enjoy having dogs around us , including them in our activities when possible. We've socialized our dogs so they are good around childern and other dogs. Our dog Barron is an Abstract standard poodle and is really good around other dogs. We currently only have one dog and like having two dogs in our home. We are both retired. Our schedules allow us to give the dogs the love and interaction they need.

They did a wonderful job taking care of our babies. I had no worries when we were on vacation. They sent pictures of them relaxing at their home. I would definitely recommend them.

What a great couple. Our dog had not seen them for awhile but definitely remembered them and was very excited. Which always gives a pet owner a good feeling.

We never hesitate to leave our girl with Julie and Joe - they are kind and attentive and she seems to always have a wonderful time while there.

A typical day

I like to use a gentle leader when I walk the dogs. It seems to eliminate much of the pulling.. I like to brush the dogs.

I have a questionnaire I have prospective client’s fill out at the meet and greet. It covers the dogs behavior and normal routine, any quirks they might have, proof their vaccination record is up to date.
