Your home away from home.

Pet care experience

Your dogs will feel like part of our family in our beautiful home in Stonelake (West Laguna/Elk Grove). They will enjoy full access to our large backyard with new luscious grass, relax in our dog friendly home (yes they can sit on the couch), romp with our precious puppies (Chiweenies - cross between Chihuahua and Dachshund), and receive loving attention from my two wonderful children (age 13 and 10), my wife, and myself. I am a Real Estate Agent with my home office and a stay at home dad/soccer coach. You will also have the comfort of knowing I am a retired Animal Heath Technician and Animal behaviorist with extensive knowledge in animal medicine, behavior, and training. We love animals and caring for them and we know your dogs will enjoy their stay at our lovely abode. Free dog training (my kids are learning how to train animals) with every stay. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs my whole life and never been without their love. I am a retired Veterinary Health Technician and taught classes at the Vet School in Davis in Emergency Procedures. I worked at many different hospitals in the Northern California area and grew up right here in the Sacramento/Elk Grove area. I am still the first person family, friends, and neighbors come to with questions regarding their animals. About my yard Lots of grass. concrete patio and bushes along the fence. Nothing a dog can destroy or that can make them sick. A dog kennel and doggy door into the garage for getting out of the sun. And free access to the house at all times. My experience administering medication Yes. extremely comfortable even with the most stubborn dogs.

This is first time Coco visit Monty house and she was very nervous at the beginning. Then she started getting used to them. Monty gave us really good feedback and some tips to help coco get used to people. Really appreciate his efforts with us. Thank you Monty

Information Monty C. would like to know about your pet

Their routines. Because your dogs are entering a strange environment, the more I can keep to their regular routine, the more comfortable they will be in our home. I love all breeds big and small.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We have 4 parks all within walking distance and several dog parks within a five minute drive from us. Mostly our dogs enjoy just walking around the neighborhood visiting all the neighboring animals. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever you prefer. Our dogs currently sleep inside in their own kennel our with us at night in our beds. Wherever your dog is most comfortable sleeping is fine by us. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so as much time as they will put up with me. At least a few walks as well as playtime and lap time. All our dogs have always been indoor dogs including our previous Labrador and Great Dane, so big dogs inside are no problem.
