Dogpark @ the House! 2 Kids & Fence

Big backyard fully 6 foot fenced in. 25% of yard to 100% covered in shade depending on time of day. Safety inspection certified by Missouri State officials. Currently watching high energy puppies, big and small, and none of my regulars are aggressive, and I never invite back an aggressive dog. For safety of all dogs, aggressive dogs will be separated from group. Please only reach out if your dog does well with dogs, puppies, and my kids. 🙂 High energy house with 2 kids, my 7yr old daughter loves to play with all nice doggies and will chase and go outside with them, in our large backyard dogs can run full speed around the fence line. Always checking for holes in fence, when picking up 💩. Usually have more 2-4 dogs minimum for lots of socializing. I have watched puppies who aren't potty trained up to old and blind dogs. I try to help potty training if repeat clients, or long stays. When weather is nice lots of outdoor time for dogs to play and potty! Let me take your baby and your anxiety so you can enjoy whatever you need to do!! I take pictures and have 4 XXL crates that can't hurt dogs like the wires ones (square bars with no sharp parts) if I need to run an errand or something and they chew or rummage or potty. Please send me a copie of your dogs up to date shits for the safety of all dogs here.

My dog has been throwing up a lot since 5 minutes after I picked her up, asked if she got into anything and was told “she stole food that was unknowingly left out” after dealing with her throwing up and paying for a vet visit I’m not sure that was the case… to top it off, very dry communication.

Nathan did a really good job taking care of our husky! We were on a road trip along with another car that had constant issues on the drive back and we had to stop multiple times to help us all get home. Unfortunately, it ended up causing us to get home too late to pick her up. Nathan was very understanding and had no issues extending her stay until the next morning when my husband could pick her up. We greatly appreciated the flexibility and working with us during our unfortunate circumstances!

Nathen had great communication and my dogs always looked like they were having a great time. They came home exhausted so I know they enjoyed themselves!

Schedule

I wfh, and barely in meetings so I can walk away at almost anytime to feed, or let dogs in our out. Usually let dogs out first thing in morning, get my kids ready for school, then feed the dogs, usually will feed dogs around 5-6 unless told otherwise! I let all dogs out, if they want every 30-60 min, basically everytime I'm near the back door. If weather is nice I let them chill for as long as they want, if not I go out with them and do more frequent breaks.

Safety, trust & environment

Security cameras outside and other play living room i don't work in. Upfront I try to watch an average of 4 dogs, sometimes more if there's an overlap of picking up or dropping off same day. All my regulars have never had an issue with biting, growling, or anything. I talk and play with them, let them run around unhindered mostly. I got a big backyard with fence and let's the kids and dogs play out there if weather is nice. I feed them when asked and let them use the restroom as much as they need to. Either on a schedule or when they ask too. I have wiped butts and administered meds, shampooed poop off of dogs who rolled in it 🙄. I let them sleep in my room or kids room depending on the dog, and amount of dogs., most of the time in bed if there's room. Try not to crate unless told by owner.

A typical day

During the work day I usually take a few breaks to play tug of war, fetch in yard, loving belly rubs and petting, talking to them like I'm crazy.. After kids get home they love to play with the new dogs, all the dogs get super hyped up by their high energy. I usually will take them on a walk once a day if the weather permits with me holding big dogs. I have lots of toys. If to many dogs to walk I usually let them exercise by running around playing outside or inside depending on weather.

Nathen can host up to 8 pets per night
Just let me know about feeding schedule and amounts, medicine if needed, if they puke often or make messes often, a heads up would be nice to prepare for that. If they are good with dogs. This includes playful puppies so I can make sure no one gets hurt! Also lmk if they get aggressive while doing snacks (although I feed dogs separately) or chewing on a toy/fake bone (please don't bring real bones, dogs get aggressive) Basically lmk if there's been an incident before, as safety is my number 1 priority.
