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).

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nathan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very accommodating to slight drop off and pickup time shifts, very communicative, and sent a plethora of pictures to show us how much fun our dog was having with his own dogs. Two thumbs up, will definitely use his services in the future!
Nathan was great, Odin had a blast!
Amazing as always! We wouldn’t leave shadow with anyone else!
We had a great experience, Fern looked like she had so much fun and was very well cared for! I loved the picture updates and how organized and attentive they were with their system of caring for the dogs.
This was our first stay with Nathan and family, so we arranged a meet & greet before our planned stay. Nathan was very clear with the protocol at his house regarding feedings, play time, and making sure everyone was safe at his house, and assured me our dog would be a good fit. Communication re: logistics and general updates during the stay were clear and timely. Our pup seemed to have a great time and I felt confident she was being well-cared for. Thanks for a great first stay!
My dog had a great time playing with Nathan’s dogs! Also received some very cute pictures

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.

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).
