Work From Home Dog Lovers!

Hi there! We are a husband (JD) and wife (Michelle) team of work-from-home dog lovers here to help with your furry kids. We've both grown up with dogs, mostly German Shepherds and Huskies and have cared for dogs personally and professionally for over 10 years.  About our family: We have a newborn and are selective with how/who we board. Currently we only board 1 dog at a time but we will consider watching a second dog on a case by case basis. Just message us and we will do our best to accommodate. Puppies must be fully potty trained and we require meet-n-greets for all pups in advance of any stay. If you’re unsure about your pup around newborns, we offer half and full day doggy daycare so we can evaluate their behavior. About our dog: We have a well-trained 11 year old Siberian Husky, an all-around fantastic dog. He is extremely friendly with other animals and people and has a very calming temperament, which, we've found, helps soothe high-energy and anxious dogs. Drop off & pickup: You can drop your pup off as early as 6am and pick up anytime. We’re pretty flexible if you give us enough of a heads up. We do offer drop off and pickup service for a fee.

Reggie is always excited to stay with Michelle & JD. He enjoys the family, Nanook (their pooch) & other pooch visitors. When I return, he comes home relaxed, well taken care of and happy.

Yogi was well-cared for by JD and Michelle. She is our velcro dog so we were comforted knowing she could would be in the company of someone throughout her stay. They are dog people who treated her like one of the family.

Reggie loves staying with JD, Michelle, Nanook & now their little one. Appreciate the updates, photos & great care you provide! Makes it easy to go away without him when he can’t join me. Thank you!

Michelle and JD were great with our dog, Marvin. It was his first time being boarded and they made sure he was comfortable and a good fit for their household. They communicated well before and during the stay and Marvin seemed happy to be there. I would highly recommend them.

Pets

A typical day

We start early around here. As soon as the sun is up, we start our mornings with a 20-30 minute walk followed by breakfast. Throughout the day, we chill inside or in the backyard. We do the same before dinner. We prefer the dogs sleep in our bedroom and will make sure each has their own comfortable spot.

Please let us know of ANY habits your dog may have, particularly any food, dog, or human aggression. Do they have any special needs, require medications, or have a strict routine they need to follow? Are they fully potty-trained, or do they occasionally have accidents? Do they tend to mark? Please know your pup might behave differently at our house while they adjust to the new environment. Tell us if there is anything we should know to make their experience the best.
