Loving home in the woods

Pet care experience

We live about a mile from the nearest road, on the beautiful blue ridge mountains, and spend a lot of time outside working and playing in our treehouse village. We do not have a fenced yard but have two trolley runs and a shelter by our treehouse :). There are nice paths through the woods and along the streams for longer walks which we go on once a day. Shorter walks follow a path around the permiter of the house and camp ground area. There are three adults living here, one retired, and two part time workers, so someone is almost always home and we all walk our guests. Thus dogs get lots and lots of walks. I take lots of pictures because I know how hard it is to leave pets and how easy it is to worry. So expect lots of pics :). Multiple pets are welcome as long as they are from the same family. I do not host more than one family of pets at a time.

Nicole was great! Not only did she take care of Duzie, she fixed her torn sweater, made her a new shirt, and washed her collar and harness! All during an overnight stay! I am very grateful.

Dahlia loved meeting and walking with Nicole. Nicole was very sweet and was very flexible with the scheduling, I will definitely be hiring her again.

Was very satisfied with the care she provided for zoom . From the beginning in greeting her and getting to meet the pack and introducing other dogs to see how they get along . I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there knowing he was going to have fun after the interaction with the others . Also liked how she kept me up to date with pictures . I would definitely leave my pup with Nicole again .

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

Any dog who stays here should not have a bloodlust desire to kill or eat my 3 year old or my cats. We do have cat trees and baby gates with cat doors so that the cats can easily avoid curious dogs. Our cats boss our dog around, but are usually scarce when guest dogs visit. Dogs need to have up to date shots records and should have current flea and tick repellant (like frontline) during tick season.

A typical day

We usually walk and play here, it's gorgeous! There is a local dog park too.
