Pet care experience

2 dog lovers for the price of 1!

I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always loved them and as soon as my husband and I finally got a house of our own, we knew we were ready for our own dog. I’ve worked really hard on training my younger dog and learned a lot about dealing with anxious dogs after adopting our second dog from heart of the valley. My family and friends have always been able to count on me caring for their pets like they’re my own. I’ve taken care of all manner of dogs in my life and I’ve loved every single one. I also volunteered at the animal shelter for several years and participated in every training they had so I have a fair bit of experience training dogs and dealing with dogs that need more care and attention including dogs with high energy or behavior issues. My husband and I work full time during the week but can usually be found playing with our own pups every morning and evening. I come home every day at lunch to play with and snuggle our pups. Our weekends are pretty relaxed and usually center around giving the dogs lots of attention and enrichment. We have a fenced yard with doggie door access and two super friendly dogs to keep your pup company. We can crate your pups if needed and give them all the love and attention they require. If your dog prefers to wander the yard sniffing without human interaction we can easily provide that too! Our pups sometimes prefer watching the birds and listening to the neighbors but they’re usually down for a game of fetch or tug. They’re gentle with smaller dogs and love to romp with bigger ones too! We love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We also have pup camera system in the house and backyard to be able to check in on the dogs when we’re at work during the week.

Katherine and Jacob were great! Kat made sure to send me daily pictures, videos, and updates on how my pup was doing. Their dogs are so sweet and friendly and got along great with mine. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using them again!

Katherine and Jacob have been incredible. They provide detailed and thoughtful daily reports. Our dog thoroughly enjoys being with them and their fur babies. I cannot recommend them enough.

Super nice and easy experience! They sent a bunch of sweet photos during my dog’s stay and understand how young labradors are :)

A typical day

We try to keep the pups stimulated both with physical games like fetch or walking the neighborhood and with mental games like getting treats out of snuffle boxes! We live very close to several dog parks and tons of walking paths. I also try to allow for unstructured time for your pup to sniff the yard or lay in the sunshine. We love snuggles and always enjoy giving belly scritches and cuddles while we relax and watch a movie. We also have a pool we like to fill on hot days for the pups to relax and play in!

Please let me know if your pup has any special needs or behaviors I can help manage while they’re here. If you know any specifics about your pup needing alone time while they eat (or company, our pups usually like to have us in the room while they eat) or medications they need to take at certain times we can accommodate that! Likes and dislikes are important too! We like to share carrots with our pups so if your pup likes any dog-safe veggies please let us know so we can share!
