Information Nikki T. would like to know about your pet

I am prefer meet and greets for larger dogs prior to your stay since we do have a dog and children at home. We can take a moment to introduce everyone to make sure that we are a good fit. My drop off window is between 8am and 8pm. Early mornings interfere with our morning routine. When dogs are dropped off too late in the evening they have a harder time getting acclimated and sometimes suffer separation anxiety. I am willing to receive a pet a day earlier or later for a discounted rate in order to accommodate your pet during these hours.

A typical day

We love to walk, run, and play fetch! We are a very high energy family with plenty of space. We love to take field trips to Red Bud Asile (beautiful park that accommodates dogs). We also like to cuddle with laps pups as well.

Pet care experience

We are the kind of people who want to bring every dog home and pet every dog on the street! It’s a pleasure to have your pup stay with us! Your dog will be have access to over an acre of fenced yard/patios, two walks, attention from a family of 5, and friendly pups to play with. We also AirTag all pups This can ensure the safety and location of you dog at all times., A bit about us…I have always been an animal lover! I worked at a pet store caring for pups in high school in college as well as at a horse boarding facility. As a stay at home mom, I want to spend my free time doing what I enjoy now that my kids are older and want to help. We are an active household and we frequently walk, run, and hike with our dog Bruno. He is quite an athletic pug and his 1 year old baby Frenchton sister, Coco, is always ready to cuddle or play! We are dog sitters and a hobby, we love to meet new friends. We also occasionally foster, but we have no foster dogs atm.
