Safety, trust & environment

We do not have a fenced yard and wouldn't let any dog go unsupervised anyhow. Dogs can jump fences and dig under them. We keep your pet(s) in the house with us and take them on as many outings as we can to get fresh air and exercise. If you let them sit on the couch then GREAT because I like the company. We never let your dog off the leash when outside.

Information Mike W. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know of any special instructions. If your dog eats special food, is finicky in any way, is allowed to sit on furniture. If there are any medicines and a schedule then we prefer written instructions. We understand the special relationship between dogs and their families and just want to keep things as consistent as possible when this temporary separation occurs, so written instructions for feed times, etc.... really helps!

A typical day

We keep your dog active both physically and mentally. We take walks in the woods, field, near the creek and there are many scents from the wild animals the dogs love to smell. We spend time with your dog watching tv or just put putting around the house or yard. We provide your dog with a doggy paradise!

Pet care experience

I feel so fortunate to have so many dog friends! I feel so fortunate to have so many dog family friends as well. I LOVE dogz; Big, small, in-between, doesn't matter. My daughter and I have been watching and walking dogs for many years. We understand what it means to provide your dog a healthy active environment and you with the confidence and trust that your dog(z) are safe and sound and being loved. We have direct access to a large field with paths, woods with a path, and a creek. We never walk dogz on the street or in other peoples yards. We own two dogz and a cat. It is important to do a meet and greet so the dogz can figure out where they stand with each other, get their sniffs in and settle down. Our cat is good with it all and knows how to manage the situation all on his own. I love dogz...it's part of who I am. We have made many friendships and look forward to more. I can walk your dog or you can board with us. I can do some basic grooming as well. We ask that if you choose to use our services that you write down instructions for us to follow in terms of feeding times, amount of food, medications, smelly blankets and knarly toys. ♥ Pippa ♥ ♥ Sunni ♥ ♥ Roscoe ♥ ♥Simon♥ Thanks! Mike
