Fenced Yard Pooch Paradise Awaits

ABOUT US: Me and my husband are serious dog lovers! We have grown up around pets our entire lives and we love having some extra dogs around the house when they are away from their parents. We’re from north Jersey and spent quite a bit of time out west before settling back down here. EXPERIENCE: We have always opened our home to all our family’s and friends dogs and watched them for extended periods of time. OUR DOGS: Meadow is our 35 lb lab mix (we think she is a Vizsla mix). She’s a middle-aged sweetheart. She is super friendly and independent. She likes to do her own thing, but after a few hours, her and your dog will be buddies! Marty is our mini-Dachshund. He is our little ball of energy. He lives for playing with other dogs and could not be a friendlier little man. If your dog is not one for playing, both of these two respect that boundary very well.

Remi had another great stay with Kariss and Dan! I absolutely love getting pictures throughout her stay and knowing she is in great hands!

I have had Kariss and Daniel watch Remi several times now, and they are amazing! They send lots of pictures, and it is great having people I trust to watch Remi when I am traveling.

Kariss and Daniel do a great job taking care of Cooper and sending picture updates. He loves playing with their dogs Marty and Meadow too and gets so excited at drop off!

As always, Kariss and Dan were the best !! Always take such good care of Chase, super communicative and send photos. I had to cancel the booking early because I ended up getting home earlier than expected, and they were so helpful figuring everything out. I always trust Chase is happy and safe when he’s with them 😊

Piper is always so excited to stay with Kariss and Daniel - and Marty and Meadow. She runs the last half block to their door. What better review could there be?

Schedule

My husband works from home full time and I work from home 2-3 days a week. Your doggo will have plenty of human time and attention if that is what they like :).

Safety, trust & environment

OUR CARE: Let us know what your pup needs (I.e. if they take any medication, dietary restrictions, etc.). They will get a daily walk (probably 2) to one of the parks that we live a few blocks from. They will have ample time to relax, play around the house, or squirrel hunt/sun bathe in the backyard. OUR SPACE: We live in a 4 bedroom house that opens up to a sizable backyard (we think this is our dogs’ favorite amenity). We have a basket full of dog toys, and if your pup is allowed on the couch, they can peer out the window and be on squirrel duty with Meadow.
