Love your DOG and love your vaca!

My husband and I have had dogs since we were married 35 years ago. We always started with puppies and now just have one 13 yr. spaniel. We both love being around dogs, watching them explore and play. We have been successful in jointing raising our dogs. (I swear I think my husband can really "talk" to the animals) We are retired, and we would love to share our home with your dog so you can enjoy some down time as people have done for us.

We had no worries at all leaving our dogs with Liz and Gary. We love the fact that they had a great big tall fence in their beautiful backyard. I know our dogs got wonderful love and attention. I highly recommend.

Our dog was in the BEST home with Liz and Gary!! Bella is a shy old girl and Liz and Gary understood and respected her temperament because they've had both shy AND outgoing dogs of their own. Their only dog they have now, Austin, was a perfect companion for Bella because he's quiet and old, too. We feel in love with Austin AND Liz & Gary!! They have a beautiful, clean home and the perfect backyard for you and your dog to feel safe. We will definitely be hoping Liz and Gary are available every time we travel and need a place for Bella!

Heartfelt Review of a Lifelong Dog Lover and Caregiver Having had the privilege of observing someone with a genuine and enduring passion for dogs, I can confidently say that their approach to dog care is nothing short of exemplary. Gary and Liz, who have lovingly cared for multiple dogs over the years, embodies what it means to be a dedicated and compassionate pet owner. Here’s a look at their remarkable approach to dog care: 1. Deep Understanding of Dog Needs From the very beginning, it’s clear that their understanding of dog care goes beyond the basics. They have consistently tailored their approach to meet the individual needs of each dog they’ve cared for, whether it was a high-energy pup or a more relaxed senior. Their knowledge about breed-specific requirements, health issues, and dietary needs is extensive, ensuring each dog receives the best possible care. 2. Compassionate and Patient Approach What stands out the most is their incredible patience and compassion. They approach each dog with a kindness that fosters trust and comfort. Whether it’s a shy rescue or an exuberant puppy, they’ve shown an unwavering commitment to creating a nurturing environment. Their gentle handling and patient training methods have helped countless dogs feel safe and loved, making a significant difference in their lives. 3. Consistent and Thoughtful Care Their commitment to dog care is evident in their meticulous attention to detail. From regular vet check-ups and vaccinations to a well-balanced diet and proper grooming, they cover all aspects of care with diligence. Their thoughtful approach also includes enriching their dogs’ lives with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. 4. Building Strong Bonds One of the most admirable aspects of their care is the strong bond they build with each dog. They invest time in understanding each dog’s personality and preferences, and it’s clear that their dogs respond with genuine affection and loyalty. This bond is a testament to their exceptional ability to connect with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. 5. Lifelong Commitment Their commitment to their dogs extends beyond daily care; it’s a lifelong dedication. Whether it’s navigating the challenges of aging or providing comfort during illness, they remain steadfast in their devotion. Their approach to end-of-life care is particularly noteworthy, as they handle such situations with dignity and compassion, ensuring their dogs’ final days are as peaceful as possible. 6. Inspiring Example In summary, this individual’s approach to dog care is an inspiring example of what it means to be a devoted and compassionate pet owner. Their deep understanding of dogs’ needs, patient and loving approach, and unwavering commitment to their well-being reflect the very best of what dog care can be. It’s a privilege to witness the profound impact they have on each dog’s life, making them not just a caretaker, but a true friend and guardian. Their dedication and kindness in caring for multiple dogs over the years serve as a beacon of exemplary pet ownership, highlighting the profound difference that love and understanding can make in the lives of our beloved canine companions.

We have a doggie door to the fenced backyard. The door is open all day and closed when we go to bed for the night. We have plenty of space if your dog needs to be crated. Our backyard is a good size to throw a ball or just hang out on the lawn. I can leash walk your dog if more exercise is needed.
