Active couple, lover of all animals
Pet care experience
We are a young, active couple that recently lost our dog after over ten years together. We have experience with puppies and seniors. While we aren't professional trainers, we have plenty of experience training our own dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to pet-sit, walk, and train their animals. I grew up with a dog and my wife grew up with dogs and sheep. We currently have a small flock of hens as well. Our home is pet friendly, but we do not allow animals on the furniture. We don't have a fenced yard, but we live on over 30 acres, on a dirt road with minimal traffic, and in close proximity to miles of hiking trails.
Reviews
Mike and Laura were the absolute perfect fit for our little rescue chihuahua, Topo, who needs some specific care and management. We felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving him with them while we were on holiday and our dog came back even more relaxed and happy then when we dropped him off. Very communicative and they clearly showed our dog all the love and care and walks we could have asked for. Thank you! Topo is looking forward to coming back.
Walter was super happy and well cared for. Mike and Laura came through in the 11th hour. Very Grateful
Mike was so fantastic with our dog Preston! Since Mike has senior dog experience, he really knew exactly how to handle Preston with love and care, he was a great communicator and we will definitely working with him again!
Wonderful, communicative and great caretakers for my special pup

Safety, trust & environment
Our home is pet friendly but we don't allow animals on the furniture. We have multiple large, comfortable dog beds, pillows, toys, water and food dishes, etc. We are loving and attentive. We enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, so walks, hikes, fetch, etc. is no issue. We miss having our own pup but aren't ready to adopt again, so we would love to spend some time with your animals!

A typical day
We live on 30+ acres, on a rural dirt road, in close proximity to hiking trails. There is a three mile loop around our house with lots of opportunities for games, smells, interactions with other people and dogs, and places to run and fetch!

I work a 9a-5p job Monday - Friday, but only about 2 miles from home so I can easily run home during the day. My wife is self-employed and is more flexible with her schedule and works out of the house.
