** DOGS MUST BE GOOD WITH CATS! ** Hi! We are Darren and Nicole and we’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years. We are parents to 1 big dog and 5 cuddly cats (as well as two humans.) We treat all pets as if they are our own, and give them all the love and attention that they want during their stay. Our dog, Lincoln, is a big, mellow boy. He’s a giant couch potato and prefers low-to-mid energy friends. He does like to play, but he tends to hide from our more hyper and high-energy doggie friends. BOARDING OF DOGS: While our cats are used to dog visitors, they don't like being chased nor do we want to worry about them being hurt. Similarly, we don't want your pup to be hurt if one of our cats has to defend itself. If it turns out to be an issue during your dog’s stay, he/she will have to be crated when we are unable to supervise (such as at night or if we have to run out). Otherwise, doggie guests are allowed the full run of the house as long as they are house trained (fully potty trained, non-destructive, etc). Please feel free to bring their dog bed, toys, etc. so your dog has a bit of home with him/her, and please bring your own dog food.
