Information Nicole & Michael M. would like to know about your pet

We are only able to accept pets who are friendly with children. Our youngest daughter is 7 years old, and she fully understands that dogs need space & to be aware of their behavior and to know when to pet & not to pet. However, we also understand that some dogs are not ok with children & we want to avoid a dangerous situation.

A typical day

Our dog is obsessed with playing ball. We are always outside throwing the ball around. She also enjoys swimming and stomping around in the creek behind our home. We enjoy hiking & if you dog is great at leash walking & enjoys hikes we are more than happy to bring them along!

Pets

Would your dog enjoy a creek swim?

Pet care experience

My husband & I have 3 daughters that would love to spend some time with your pup! We back up to a creek with a swimming hole that our dog loves to paddle around in. We have about a half-acre yard & the back yard is fenced, with woods & creek behind us. Our girls absolutely love animals, and we have rescued so many litters of kittens I can't even count. We would be more than happy to spend time with any pets that are safe & friendly with children.

Have left our little boy Brady with them multiple times and its obvious he looks forward to his time with them. He always comes home tired from so much playtime. Can not recommend them enough. It's Brady's home away from home!
