We love being able to leave Whiskey without worrying about him. Thank you for taking great care of our pup!! We enjoyed the pictures and updates! We appreciate you guys!!
I left my pups with Mark and Corrie as I was traveling through and it was great. They were very easy to coordinate with and I felt safe leaving my pups with them. The pups had a great time!
KC had a great time with mark and Corrie! She was happy when I picked her up and I loved getting photos of her during the day. I have already booked her next stay with them:)
Mark and Corrie were wonderful. We really appreciated their attention to Millie and the updates!
Poppy had the time of her life in the most beautiful doggie resort. We received pictures and reports throughout our time away, which we didn’t realize how much we would appreciate.
Amazing as always! Molly always comes back happy and tired from play!!

Schedule
We work from home - pet care is baked into our daily/weekly routine. A TYPICAL DAY: 6:30-8:00 a.m. interactive playtime (fetch, tug-of-war, etc. ) 8:00-8:30 a.m. morning feeding and rest 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. open playtime - we work while the dogs play. They come in an out freely while we supervise from our workstation. We group dogs as needed. See the safety, trust & environment section for details. 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. treats and training followed by quiet time in kennels 3:00 - 5:00 p.m interactive playtime round 2 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. evening feeding and quiet time in kennels 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. interactive playtime round 3 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. quiet time 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. final playtime and bedtime routine (treats and training) 10:00 p.m. - 6:30 a.m. bedtime in kennels We prefer pickup/dropoff times between 7:00 - 10:00 a.m or 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. so we can devote time to helping the dogs adjust to the environment and their temporary pack. The only thing we need from you at drop off is their food in a ZIPLOC w INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN on it. If needed, bring a small blanket or toy with the scent of home. We do NOT need beds, food dishes, or leash. We engage in activities that stimulate their prey drive (fetch, tug-of-war...), play drive (playtime with Talley, Ozzy, and other guests), and work on training behaviors a couple of times a day, as appropriate. They are out of the kennel interacting with dogs and people most of the day. In order for your dog to have a great experience, they need to play well with other dogs and be comfortable spending time in a kennel.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
SAFETY & TRUST: We have been trained in behavior recognition to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our guests. When we have multiple guests, we group dogs as needed (by age, size, "fixed" or not, temperament, and/or energy level) to optimize the experience for each guest. We feed them in a kennel to ensure food isn't shared and give them quiet time after meals to ensure they have adequate time to digest before playing again. We expect our guests to be up to date with their vaccinations. When a new dog arrives give them time to explore on their own, then we gradually introduce them to other dogs to assess temperament and compatibility. That is the reason we prefer to limit the pickup and dropoff windows so we can devote that critical time. Please see availability for more info on times. ENVIRONMENT: We have a dedicated space both indoors and outdoors for the dogs. Inside we have an air-conditioned apartment dedicated to the dogs. They have a couch, area rug, background music, and their own 4x4, 4x6, or 5x5 kennel. We reserve a corner for a workstation where we work during the day. Outside we have a fenced area for the dogs with turf and toys. We setup a canopy for extra shade on hot sunny days since we don't have natural shade from trees yet. We wet the turf down on hot days to ensure it's comfortable for the dogs as well.
