Information Mary & Heath B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog had any special needs. I am comfortable and able to administer meds or give baths. I can raised puppies and house trained dogs. In my home, dogs are allowed on the couch and beds

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks (or runs) with dogs. Austin is the best dog friendly town and I enjoy bringing dogs to new places. I also love cuddling and hanging out with all dogs.

Pet care experience

I've lived with a dog in my home since I was born. My husband and I love all dogs- but long and low Basset hounds are our favorite. We taken care of dozens of dogs from all sizes and breeds. We will keep your dog safe and sound while you are out of town! My husband works from home and I am a teacher. We can provide pet care through the day everyday. Daily walks would be easily provided. We have a large fenced yard with a built in doggie door to the house. Large breeds like Boxers can fit through the door. We are willing to teach them how to use the door but will also let them in and out if they can't use the dog door.

Mary and Heath were absolutely wonderful caregivers for my dog, Jackson. They took the time to meet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which I really appreciated. Their home is beautiful and welcoming, and their two sweet dogs made great companions for Jackson while I was away. Throughout the stay, they were incredibly communicative and sent plenty of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear that Jackson was not only well cared for, but truly treated like part of their family. They also went above and beyond by accommodating a last minute change in my travel plans and keeping him an extra day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using them again for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!

We are always happy when Mary & Heath are available to watch our Lucy. We know that she is very well taken care of and she'll have playmates if she feels like interacting with other dogs. We always enjoy the photos that they share with us.
