Pet care experience
My experience in dog care goes back to the 2002 when I was surprised with my sister's chihuahua mix. Since then I have had an interest in animal husbandry ranging from mammals to reptiles. I have 4 years as a volunteered at the local cat shelter. My responsibilities ranged from cleaning cages, socialization to adoption paperwork. My heart and soul is my dog Sheba. She is mini labradoodle who is very social and loves new companions of all forms. She can be extremely high energy when running around in our backyard and always initiates play. There is not a bone of aggression in her body. My house is located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, with ample walking options. Dogs that board are allowed on furniture and can sleep anywhere they feel comfortable. The house is always kept at 73-74 degrees for maximum comfort. All dogs are guaranteed a minimum of 3 walks a day for at least 15 minutes. All walks are followed by free roam in the backyard for another additional 15 minutes. I am willing to send photos as requested.
Reviews
We had a great experience with Larry. He was available to answer our questions and to tell us about his approach. He was accessible throughout our dog’s stay and there were no surprises. Thank you and we hope to call on you again soon!
Larry was ready to work with, got pictures of Ivy everyday, and Ivy had a great time. Will definitely book again.
Larry was very professional and awesome!
Larry and his family are amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome when we dropped off Zeus. Very communicative and such nice people. We will definitely be reaching out to him for our future dog sitting needs!

I live in a safe quite neighborhood with a fenced backyard with plenty of room for running. I am always very careful in following any instructions given by owners, especially if meds or dietary restrictions are involved.
Home
Information Larry C. would like to know about your pet
Dog safety For core canine vaccinations, especially rabies vaccines, all dogs must be fully vaccinated, and owners must provide an copy of records prior to boarding. I would need to know if your dog is specials needs or aggressive with other dogs and people (especially small children). Special instructions and tips for handling your dog would be appreciated. All dogs must be free of injury prior to boarding. I would need to know your dog's temperament, socialization, feeding/potty schedule *A meet and greet is required for all boarders. The initial meet and greet must occur at a local dog park so that I can assess your dog's temperament during play.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on 1 hour walks around the neighborhood (weather permitting) and letting them smell the world. After walks, they are free to explore the backyard and play until sundown.
