Very fun and experienced.

Pet care experience

I am a loving, active, and engaging guy with an equally amazing 11 year old son. Between the two of us we have almost 30 years of experience caring for dogs. I have cared for both bottle fed new born puppies and senior dogs that can barely walk. Our son has been helping care for and train our dogs since he could walk. I was an apprentice for two years for a gentleman who training pointers and retriever hunting dogs. My passion went as far as studying animal behavior for two years of my undergraduate degree and it has remained a personal interest even though my life has went in several different directions. Your precious pooch will have a great time and will be well taken care of at our home.

The first booking was great, but he didn’t visit the second time I booked him and he didn’t refund the fee after I requested. It’s been 3 months now.

Luke was good in communicating with me and my two senior doggies were in good hands during my time away.

Zeus had a really great time and was a happy, tired boy when he got home!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 7 year old border collie that loves to meet and play with other dogs. We do daily obedience training and frequently do agility training at our community dog park. We have a big fully fenced backyard for the pups to run and play and be dogs with a basket full of toys to play with. Inside we have two more baskets full of toys to chew on, chase, or tug.

Information Luke S. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know your dog's personality towards other dogs, any specific commands that they already know/would like them to learn, and any other special needs.

A typical day

We begin a typical day with all of the pups sleeping around, and sometimes in, my bed and immediately go outside. I feed them between 7-8 at both ends of the clock. We normally go out in the backyard every 2-3 hours since everyone, including me, gets restless around then. The rest of the day is filled with the dogs "helping" with chores, training, chewing, and a lot of studying/naps.

I am currently working from home studying for the LSAT and am delighted to have pups come and help me study (aka snore at my feet while I study).
