Run, Snuggle, Wrestle- a trifecta

Pet care experience

Update for 2024! Please Read! We are expecting a baby in July and will be taking some time off to adjust to being a family of five (our two dogs are very excited to be big brothers). That being said, we will not be accepting boarding requests for July, and will evaluate the subsequent months as we get closer. Thank you for understanding! Blake and I have been caring for dogs since we were little. From Miniature Schnauzers, Shelties and Labs. We currently have a eight year old deaf and blind shepherd mix (Luka) and a four year old Siberian husky (Kodiak). Because of our extensive experience, we are well versed in various stimulation needs and behaviors in dogs. I currently work from home most of the week and my husband, Blake, has the typical 24/48 firefighter schedule. So for for those dogs who need a bit more love, like our Luka and Kodi, we are ready to play our love your fur babe. Lots of backyard play, runs, wrestles and walks. After all a tired, well-loved dog is a happy dog, right? Dogs may miss mom and/or dad more than we realize. We are here to help keep them company with lots of love while you are away. With lots of videos and photos sent to you, it'll be like you never left your best friend behind!

I appreciated Kim’s meet and greet so we knew my dog would get along with her dogs ahead of time. I got updates and photos of my dog having a grand time!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard, we have plenty of space in the house to allow dogs who may need a bit more quiet time. I also do have a crate for medium to large size dogs, if that is something that would help make your fur baby more comfortable. Even when we may step out for a dinner date, or to run a few errands, we have a doggie camera in our living room connected to our phones, so we can always check in on our kids, regardless of whether we are home or stepped outside. We keep a calm, clean environment with lots of floor space available to play, rest, or anything in between.

Information Kim R. would like to know about your pet

Any anxieties? Any food allergies? Favorite toy? Does he/she like to play in water? Favorite treat? Do you crate your dog when you leave the house? No breed preferences, but the less drool the better.

A typical day

I live in the Westerville/Polaris area. So lots of walks in these neighborhoods and parks. We love the GoDown Road Dog Park, Antrim Lake, Alum Creek, and Hoover Resevoir. We have spent countless hours romping and rolling. PetPeople is our favorite place to stop and get some tasty treats after a long day of play.

Availability

I have a very flexible working environment! And my partner is off work 48/72 hours consecutively. So not only is one of us ready to dish out endless amounts of love, chances are we both are! Our Kodiak loves to entertain his fur friends as well, so we are him as another set of "paws" in the pet care routine.
