Any size and any breed treated like our very own in a clean and comfortable home setting with a big backyard in a shady North Central Austin neighborhood. With a typical intake of 3-5 dogs, we enjoy providing individual care and attention to your friendly dogs with up-to-date vaccinations. Since 2013, we've opened our house to your dogs partly due to our own dissatisfaction with the usual kennel model of too many dogs in a noisy, concrete jungle, but mostly because we love getting to know dogs as unique individuals and think they all deserve the best. Our experience comes from our own pets and from meeting the rigorous requirements for fostering dogs for a local rescue group. Our job then was to help those pups become happy, healthy, confident members of canine society. Now our job is to keep your dogs happy and safe. Our flexible schedules mean your dogs will rarely be left on their own. And your hosts have complementary skills. Liz seems to have a knack for relaxing dogs, and Mike is a master of play. Our mascot, Aixa, loves to make new human and dog friends and has been a welcoming, patient foster sister who does a great job of moderating her activity level to the other dog's energy. If your dogs have had enough, she can also take a hint. Of course, we're always keeping an eye on everyone. We pay close attention to your dogs' personal needs, likes, and dislikes, and we tailor their stay to keep them healthy and happy. Your dogs will be treated like family and will get plenty of play throughout the day indoors and in our large, safe, outdoor play space. Our big, grassy, fenced yard provides lots of opportunities for supervised exploring, and our dog-friendly neighborhood has lots of shady sidewalks and parks for good walks. One favorite, indoor feature seems to be the circular route through the house for fun games of chase or hide-and-go-seek. We hope to hear from you soon!
