Information Mariam & Ken G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to account for. I prefer non-aggressive breeds or dogs that get along with other dogs.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. I play and engage constantly and provide the opportunity for your dog to explore new smells in the neighborhood and nearby park. I provide music therapy sessions playing classical guitar for our furry guests.

Pet care experience

With over 20 years of experience caring for pups, including those with special needs, we understand how important it is for your furry family member to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. Our personal experience includes caring for our own diabetic golden doodle, so we’re well-versed in administering both oral and injected medications. We are a dedicated, pet-loving and stay-at-home couple who ensure that your pup receives plenty attention. Daily walks, potty breaks, and plenty of playtime are part of the routine. Your pet will enjoy a safe, loving and nurturing environment, whether it’s in our home, backyard or at a nearby park or neighborhood trails.
