Information Karla & Xavier G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My dog is small and very friendly and mellow (she is 13 years old) and she gets along well with other dogs, but I can separate her from yours if you prefer that.

A typical day

We will go on walks if in the morning and/or afternoon. The rest of the time we have a big yard for the dogs to play in, but can also stay inside and just relax if it's hot or it's raining.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog mom for 17 years and a mom for 10 so I am used to caring for little ones & still have lots of love to give. I work from home part-time and my kids are in school most of the day so I have lots of time to play with my dog and yours. My husband also works from home and also loves dogs. I’m generally available on weekends. I have a large fenced yard and 1 small dog for your dog to play with.

This is Kona’s home away from home. Karla and family treat her like one of their own. We are so appreciative of the level of care they provide. Thank you Karla and family. We are planning our next trip already so we hope to see you soon.

Karla and Xavier have looked after Piper a few times and I leave her with them with complete confidence that she will be well looked after.
