Retired and home most of the time. Dogs get lots of individual attention. Whether we are inside or out they are with us. We call them our grand-dogs.

About Linda S.

Safety, trust & environment
Our property is all fenced so dogs can safely roam freely, although they quickly find their place in our pack and stay close to us by choice. They are inside when we are inside. They love to explore outside when we are outside.
Home
Information Linda S. would like to know about your pet
We would like to know that they are taking flea/tick meds (important) and also up to date on their shots. Let us know their usual schedule. Anything else you would like to tell us to make your pets stay more comfortable would be appreciated.
A typical day
We go on walks together off leash around the property. If the weather permits we go down to our pond giving them an opportunity to swim if they like. Dogs love to explore the different paths on the property as we walk together with them. In the house they will be members of the family. If we're watching TV their beds will be there with us. At night they can sleep on their own beds in our room with us, or if they choose they can sleep on their bed in the living room. We also let them sleep with us. We treat our furry friends like family and they definitely become a pack with us while visiting.

Pet care experience
Danny and I have more that 60 years of experience taking care of dogs. We have both had dogs and many other pets all our lives. Our property is 2.7 acres and completely landscaped and fenced with paths and trails for the dogs to explore. Most dogs love to swim in our 1/2 acre pond. Lots of grassy areas to run and play on. Your pet is welcome in our home as well as on designated leather couches. We are retired and are at home most of the time. Dogs enjoy being outside with us while we are working on the property. We grow lots of vegetables and flowers. Your dog will be treated like family during their stay here in our Hidden Valley Garden. Looking forward to a meet and greet with you and your dog!
Reviews
Welcome to paradise! Linda & Dan have such a peaceful, grounded demeanor that our dog’s body language around them was calm and relaxed from the very beginning. She so clearly trusted and liked them both right away, and the videos they sent us showed her continuing to have fun and be happy there throughout her stay. Their pond was of course a big plus for our water-loving retriever! We also appreciate that they only take one or two dogs at a time, to simplify the social dynamic and to enable them to give each dog ample attention. Their behavioral coaching was relaxed and positive. Boundaries were clear and successful - Poppy wanted to do what they liked. And their gardens are so beautiful they could charge admission! How wonderful to be able to leave our loved one in such good, kind hands. Thank you, Linda and Dan!
Thank you Linda! You took great care of Sheila.
Linda was terrific. She kept us posted as to how things were going and our dog seemed to be having a great time exploring her wonderful yard. Great experience for all, will definitely book again!
Oskar was very well cared for! Linda and Dan are very friendly and easy to work with. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received!
