A typical day

Outside you’ll find lots of fetch in the backyard, walks to the beach nearby, walking paths along the lake- we love being outside! Inside we have lots of toys, wrestling with Hazel, and belly rubs by Katie and Nick. Daisy is older and more low-key, so quiet-time naps are plentiful as well.

Pet care experience

My husband and I are lifelong dog people. From shih tzus to mastiffs, we've cared for many fur babies of our own as well as those of friends and family. We have two goldendoodles (Daisy and Hazel) that our family would not be complete without and provide us daily joy. My husband and I both work from home and feel so lucky to be with our dogs every day. We have a big fenced in backyard that the dogs roam around and play in- always supervised. Nick and I are active folks and take our dogs for daily walks around the block, to the park, or to the beach near our house. We can offer a large crate, gated quiet areas, and a fresh water bowl.

Just like last time, Katie and Nick were amazing with Charlie. I think he is a little spoiled when he goes there, but he deserves it. He loves Hazel and Daisy, too! Thank you for allowing me to have a relaxing vacation, knowing he is in the BEST hands.

Katie and Nick were amazing with Charlie! It was the first time leaving him with someone other than family and this was for a long trip. They could not have been kinder or more caring, especially with some of his needs (medication, help with stairs, etc.). Communication while I was gone was also terrific. Notes throughout the day with images of him enjoying the yard with the doodles really helped me relax on my trip. I could not imagine a nicer couple to take care of him. I feel very blessed. Thank you!
