Large yard w/lots of snuggle&play

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs since I was a child. Right now I have two big fur babies Dexter and Sherlock who are fun loving dogs that love to play chase with other dogs, tug of war, and catch. They're both still young at 2 and 3 years old so they still have a lot of energy to play. But when in the house they're both calm and love to snuggle. I have taken care of different types of dogs from puppies to very old dogs who need special attention e.g. administering medication, special diet needs. I'm home most of the time to give them potty breaks, but we also have an automatic doggy door that your dog can learn to use too to have more freedom. Some things I like do is go running with my dogs, play catch in our large yard, run around the levee, and bring them to the Lafreniere Dog Park to socialize. Wherever my dogs go so will yours as long as they will enjoy it. There will not be a lack of pictures and videos because I know how much I miss my dogs when I am away so I know how important it is to get those pictures and videos to get that piece of mind. I hope I'll get a chance to care for your fur baby! Also I live 10 minutes way from the airport and there is plenty of parking on our street. So it is a very convenient to drop off your dog and pick them up to/from the airport.

Katy is obviously a dog lover. She sent us photos and videos of Mardi playing with her 2 dogs. Mardi enjoyed her stay and play. Katy was very accommodating to our schedule. We are thankful to have found her.

I met Katy 6 years ago. Back then the sight of dogs would put hives all over my body and swell my eyes and throat shut. Now after 3 years of marriage, I only wheeze slightly when Katy takes us all running. Being Katy's third favorite dog has come with a lot of perks. She always feeds us fresh veges and plenty of meats ( cause food taste better when its fresh ), gets us plenty of exercise (we have a big fenced backyard and live blocks from the levee) and scratches us so we fall asleep ( the bed is divided into equal 4ths- I'm working on it...). I've even picked up a few tricks over the past few years like emptying the dishwasher and separating the laundry (I still don't get why). While I'm still learning new things everyday about my dear wife, what I know for sure is that her love of dogs cannot be contained in the three of us. But GOD HELP me if I have to pick up more poop or go through more lint removers than I already do- so this is a compromise of sorts... All that being said you can rest assured that while you're on vacation, my wife will treat your fur child as her own and I will make sure she gives them back to you when you get back.

Information Katy H. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any behavioral issues and if so what is the best way to address it? Are there are allergies or food restrictions? Any fears or things that will set your dog off that I should be aware of such as loud noises? Are there any habits at home that you would like enforced e.g. no bed or couch or no jumping on people? Any prior health issues that I should keep a look out for?

A typical day

I like to go running/walking with my dogs on the levee, play catch in the yard, and teach them new tricks! There are plenty of doggy games I like to to play with my dogs e.g. hide and seek, find it with food, tug of war, ball, use of the cleverpet and plenty of doggy toys that keep their mind stimulated during the day.
