Pet care experience
We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. We have a fenced back yard with a wooded area behind which most dogs find pretty fascinating with all the birds and rodents running about and offers plenty of shade for lounging in, and plenty of neighborhood dogs who love to have conversations with other dogs. I work from home and Dorothy, my wife is home regularly, so between us we can give your dogs all the attention they need and then some. We have a fenced in yard next to a wooded lot, plenty of shade, and several neighborhood dogs her are more than happy to carry on conversations. We keep water inside and out, we have plenty of dishes for food, we even have a crate for those that need it.
Reviews
Nick and Dorothy were excellent watching my pups Frank and Beans! I’m thankful I could book with them last minute and they were very accommodating. Frank and Beans were happily tired after their stay. I can tell they received a lot of love today! I would gladly book with Nick again if I’m in town in the future.
Nick & Dorothy took very good care of our Doberman. We were in from out of town for a wedding and we were able to enjoy our time at the wedding and know our dog was receiving very good care. Lincoln was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and I know we would trust them with his care in the future if the need arises. Our regular dog walker back home is also with Rover. All experiences have been fabulous. Thank you!!
Nick and Dorothy did a great job taking care of our home and our English Mastiff Oley. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. The house was left in a very clean and orderly fashion.
Una is always well cared for when staying with Nick. Thank you!

Information Nick C. would like to know about your pet
We need to know if there are any medical issues (we know many dogs have allergies or are prone to injuries) if they get along with other dogs, or if thunder scares them. Some areas we walk have access to water so knowing if your dog is prone to jumping in and if you're okay with that. We also know some dogs are very hands off while others like lots of attention, so that would be nice to know.
A typical day
We believe that dogs not only need daily exercise in the form of walks but they also need some mental stimulation in the form of new sights and smells so we have several areas to walk. We also know that many dogs just need to run and like meeting other dogs and we regularly visit the dog park. We're also well versed in dealing with picky eaters.
