Pet care experience
Loving pet care w/fully fenced yard
Hi! We're Nicole and Nathan - an animal loving couple who have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other critters for over 25 years each. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat of our own. We live in a split level house near Cedar Park Elementary School and have a very large, fully fenced back yard, a downstairs area for the dogs/cats that is spacious, comfortable, and opens directly to the fenced back yard. We also have two kids (an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter). They are both very used to animals and enjoy our furry visitors. We have crates for your dog/cat if they feel more comfortable at night in a crate. We also have lots of dog/cat beds - with heated pads inside! We've both raised dogs from puppies before and currently have an 11 year old black lab who just sleeps all day and a 3 year old Australian Shepherd who loves to run, play, and is a ball of love. We also have 1 cat who is one year old and 15 pounds of fluff. He's the most relaxed cat on the planet and gets along with all other animals (though he stays separate from the dogs, so he doesn't interact with them).

Ratings and reviews
Nathan and his family were wonderful!! Extremely responsive and attentive. Sky clearly had such a great time - she will definitely be back :)
My two girls have found their new favorite place away from home!!! Poppy & Millie could not have been more loved on, cared for, and given all day access to non-stop play. Nathan and the whole family put me at so much ease being away- I didn’t have to wonder for a second if the girls were in good hands and having a great staycation. Can’t wait to bring them back for my next trip and doggy daycare!! Nathan sent tons of daily photos and videos, was super communicative and really treated my pups as their own. They couldn’t have been happier to romp around a big yard and play with some other pups! Thank you Nathan and your whole family!
Nathan is really responsive and provides photo update daily. He provides meet and greet before we book the boarding and answered all our questions during the meet up. We definitely will have Nathan take care of our dog again in the future.
Nathan was a responsive host, and our dog Lucy was well taken care of for a weekend stay
Ruby always has a great time, thank you for taking such great care of her!
Another happy stay. Always good communication, flexibility with drop off and pick up times, and the daily photos showed our Labrador was happy and content.

Schedule
Nicole works from home part-time and Nathan works from home full-time, so our furry house guests get LOTS of attention and love. We walk our own dogs (and yours) once or twice a day - once in the early morning and once in the early evening. They also get a lot of backyard ball play unless it's pouring. We feed all animals separately at the same time each day and any food not eaten gets put away/offered later to ensure no fights break out.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced back yard and two very loving dogs to entertain yours (unless you’d like yours kept separate). We have lots of dog and cat beds (heated!), we can crate your dog at night if needed, and are fully set up for critters here.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day here: starts out early with a vigorous walk or run (6 or 7 am), then a rest, some water, and breakfast for everyone (separately of course). Your cat or dog will hang out with Nathan on cozy dog beds while he works - taking frequent backyard breaks to run, play, or fetch balls. A walk in the later afternoon or early evening rounds out the day. Then everyone gets dinner - separately again. We all hang out as a family together in the evenings and your fur baby will get lots of love and attention. At night, they'll have a cozy place to sleep with other furry friends. (Note: if your cat or dog needs to be kept separate from our animals, that is totally fine - it would mean the same type of day as described above, just done separately).
